Printing Zone Barcodes

Zone barcodes can be printed from TapeTrack TapeMaster using the TapeTrack Barcode Printer.

Identifying Required Zones

Identify what zone ID barcodes required to print by right-clicking the Repositories, in the respective Customer Media Types, and select Properties and then the Zones tab.

In the Zone Administration window under the heading Zone is the Zone-ID number and Zone description (in the format number:description). Record these details and close the window by the X at the top right or using the Cancel button.

If you have a large range of Zones, or hard to remember Zone-ID's, you can select the Zones (Shift+Click) and press Ctrl+E to export the Zones to file for future reference.
