Question:
Bartender labels offer by default only a maximum of 4 fields
including the barcode on the label. Sometimes more fields need
to be added to the standard Bartender label format.
How is this done?
Answer:
To add more fields to the standard bartender label
formats do the following:
1) Print a standard
barcode label with format 1 in Reporting to the MAX. This action
creates a file in the data directory of the company you use
called "labelXXX.dat". XXX is a counter starting with 00a. The
next time labels print the counter goes to 00b and so on. *NOTE*
There may or may not be the XXX in the file name.
2) Go into windows explorer and find the Reporting to the MAX
Installation folder">

Question:
Bartender labels offer by default only a maximum of 4 fields
including the barcode on the label. Sometimes more fields need
to be added to the standard Bartender label format.
How is this done?
Answer:
To add more fields to the standard bartender label
formats do the following:
1) Print a standard
barcode label with format 1 in Reporting to the MAX. This action
creates a file in the data directory of the company you use
called "labelXXX.dat". XXX is a counter starting with 00a. The
next time labels print the counter goes to 00b and so on. *NOTE*
There may or may not be the XXX in the file name.
2) Go into windows explorer and find the Reporting to the MAX
Installation folder, typically as CMSWIN or CMSACT.
3) Within the installation directory go to the company data
folder and find the labelXXX.dat file.
4) Rename this file to "label.dat". Then copy and paste it into
the installation directory
5) Close Windows Explorer.
6) Open Bartender.

location, then click Open.

of Bartender may have a "Browse" button). Check the box: "Show
all fields". Then click "OK".

"Create". Then choose "Text".
