Barcodes are printed codes consisting of parallel black lines with the SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) underneath. These barcodes are affixed to products to simplify operations such as sales or stocktaking. The Rewaa platform generates a unique barcode for each product, which can be read using barcode scanners. Below are the steps and instructions for printing barcodes.
Pre-Printing Instructions
Ensure you have a barcode-compatible printer and appropriate barcode label paper.
Install and configure the printer on the computer you’ll use for printing.
