Select the ZIP
The ZIP file with the label images is copied to the phone and selected in the app.
SETS Module
Bulk Barcode Printing
The SETS mobile app takes hundreds of barcode and QR labels from a ZIP file into a print queue in one step and sends them to a Bluetooth label printer in order. There is no need to open and print labels one by one.
How does bulk barcode printing work?
The ZIP file with the label images is selected once in the SETS app. The app reads the labels, builds a print queue and sends it to the Bluetooth printer in order. Printing can be paused and resumed where it stopped, and the used and remaining counts stay on screen.
How It Works
From ZIP to print in four steps
The queue is built
The app reads the labels, shows the total count and prepares the print order.
Preview and print
You check a true preview of the label, then the queue is sent to the Bluetooth printer in order.
Resume where you stopped
Printing can be paused or interrupted; the queue position is kept and the job is not rebuilt.
Comparison
Printing one by one compared with a print queue
| Topic | One by one | Queued bulk printing (SETS) |
|---|---|---|
| Selecting labels | Each label is opened and printed separately | The ZIP is selected once and every label enters the queue |
| Keeping order | Depends on the user's attention | The app keeps the queue order |
| Interruptions | You find where you stopped by hand | Printing resumes where it stopped |
| Count visibility | Counted by hand | Used and remaining counts on screen |
| Record | Usually none | Each action reaches the panel with user, device, location and time |
For a few labels that change often, printing one by one can be enough; for jobs with hundreds of labels a queue makes a difference in time and errors.
Print Quality
Making sure the printed code can be scanned
SETS regenerates the QR value of each label, scales it to the label size and places the human-readable code close to it. A true preview is shown before printing, so an unreadable code is caught before it reaches the field.
