The Barcode function in AssetManager Pro allows you to print barcode labels to attach to your assets. You can only print barcode labels for assets that have been added to the barcode print list.

See 'To add an asset'  or 'To add an asset to the barcode-label list'. This allows you to print barcode labels for only some of your assets.

The number of labels you can print per page depends on the label sheets you are using. Therefore, AssetManager Pro allows you to design the layout according to the labels sheet to which you are printing. For example, if you have a sticky label sheet with only ten labels, you can design the layout to ensure that the labels will print correctly to each label on that sheet.
