Print a label(s) for a single resource item

Destiny lets you print labels when adding a new copy or replacing a damaged barcode. You can print one or more labels for the same item.

Note: You can also print copy barcodes for a group of used or unused labels.

Barcode labels contain the item's scannable barcode, barcode number, and any of three optional fields:

  • Site or district name
  • Resource name (up to 50 characters)
  • Home location (up to 50 characters)
Important: The first time you print barcodes, test them for usability.
