What are heat seals?
Heat seals are barcode labels that identify each garment. Your team scans a barcode to add the garment to an order, find it in assembly, or move it through your plant. The Heat Seals page connects the printer that prints these labels.
There are two kinds of barcode label:
One time tags: Barcoded tags for a single order. They are not permanent.
Permanent heat seals: Labels that are pressed onto the garment and last through many cleaning cycles. Permanent printing is not supported yet in the new POS.
Hardware settings are saved per station. Set up the heat seal printer on each station that has one.
Heat Seal Printer
Printer Type: The printer that prints the barcode labels attached to each garment. Choose Epson U220 (one time tags) or TSC / Zebra (one time tags).
Not supported yet: Zebra (permanent tags), Thermopatch (one time tags), and Star SP700 in ESC/POS mode (one time tags).
Printer: The printer name exactly as it appears on this computer. Select Find Printers to choose it from a list instead of typing it.
Print Test Barcode: Prints a sample barcode so you can check the printer and label size. It needs a printed barcode format. If you see “No printed barcode format is set up for this company yet”, go to Settings > Assembly > Barcode Formats, add a format, and set its type to Printed.
QZ Tray must be running to print. See How to set up QZ Tray.

A heat seal barcode you buy already printed. It can be 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 digits and cannot start with 0. Each store needs a unique starting digit, or you can share a database with other stores on request. Contact Support to set it up.
Can I save upcharges to a barcode?
