Normally at the manufacturers end barcodes are printed over the outer pack of any product and respective
information can directly be send to the stores where particular inventory is moving therefore no
requirement at the store end to label the product for the bar codes but in case there is no such barcode
information on the product, tis can be done using label printers. When you need to label certain products
for some important information like barcodes then the use of label printers is done. Let us understand the

When some inventory moves in the store then all the related information of barcodes over the products also
moves in the POS software. If the products lack proper labeling then by using label printers we can arrange
the required information and can submit that information to the POS software also various discount
information can also be loaded in any such software against any product. When a customer come to POS
for billing counter boy scans the barcode printed over the product with the help of a barcode scanner. These
scanners send system the information about the product and then a command goes to receipt printer and
that printer generates the bill for the purchase.
