Barcode Template Layout Settings
The Create Barcode Settings screen in O2VEND ERP allows precise control over barcode label layout, spacing, alignment, and media format. These settings ensure that labels print correctly on thermal printers, label sheets, and continuous roll printers.
Below is a detailed explanation of each field visible in the editor.
Left Panel — Barcode Attribute Settings
These options configure the selected field inside the barcode template (text, barcode, or image).
Attribute
Defines the linked product data such as SKU, GTIN, Product Name, or any custom field.
This ensures the printed label automatically updates with product information.
Height
Controls the height of the selected field.
For barcode fields, increasing height improves scanner readability.
Line Color
Sets the line/ink color of the barcode or text.
Usually remains black for optimal scanning.
Format
Specifies the barcode format (e.g., Code128, EAN13, UPC, QR).
Choosing the correct format ensures compatibility with retail or warehouse scanners.
Font Size
Controls the size of text displayed on the label.
Larger font is used for MRP or product names; smaller font for secondary information.
Text Margin
Defines the spacing between the field boundary and the printed text.
Useful to prevent text from touching the label edge.
Font Family
Allows selecting the font style (e.g., Sans Serif, Serif, Monospace).
This affects the overall appearance and readability.
Font Options
Additional font settings such as Bold, Italic, Underline.
Commonly used to highlight important information like price or SKU.
Font Position
Controls the placement of the text relative to the barcode (Top / Bottom / Center).
Example: Showing value below barcode for store readability.
Text Alignment
Aligns text to the left, center, or right within the field.
Center alignment is usually preferred for labels.
BG Color
Sets background color of the field.
Most barcode labels use white background for accurate scanning.
Display Value
Enables or disables showing the numeric barcode value below the bars.
Enabled for retail POS labels; disabled for minimalist labels.
Right Panel — Label Layout & Page Settings
These settings configure the overall size, spacing, and printing behavior of the entire label sheet or roll.
Name
The template name used to identify and reuse the layout across modules.
Left Space / Right Space / Center Space
Controls horizontal spacing between labels on the sheet.
- Left Space: Margin from the left edge
- Right Space: Margin from the right edge
- Center Space: Space between columns
These values help align labels precisely when printing on sheets like Avery.

Vertical spacing above and below each label row.
Prevents misalignment when printing multiple rows on a single page.
Width
Defines the overall label width in millimeters.
Must match physical label roll or sheet size.
