PTS 5 includes a facility to generate your own customised A4 barcode sheets. In older versions of PTS this was achieved with a separate Windows application (Barcode Magic), but it's now possible via the barcode sheet setup page.

Accessing the setup page

See the Setting Up & Configuring PTS section for instructions on how to access the setup pages.

Creating a new barcode sheet

To create a new barcode sheet access the actions menu by clicking on the actions menu icon at the top right of the page, then from the actions menu click the New Barcode Sheet button.

The process then continues in the barcode sheet editor.

Editing existing barcode sheets

To edit an existing barcode sheet, select the barcode sheet you wish to amend by clicking on its entry in the list to load the barcode sheet editor.

Barcode sheet editor

The barcode sheet editor is a WYSIWYG editor. You drag and drop barcodes and other visual elements exactly where you want them onto the page.
A "Training Barcodes" barcode sheet is pre-installed with PTS. It can be edited and experimented with, or used as-is.

The barcode sheet popup is a WYSIWYG editor wherein you add PTS barcodes and other visual elements to create a customised A4 barcode document.
