How to change the part label template

Note: A new UI is coming soon which will allow you to drag & drop part label design elements

The part label template is stored in appsettings.json in the section named PrinterConfiguration => PartLabelTemplate along with your Binner installation. It can also be modified in the Settings page of Binner.

Part Label Template on the settings page

There are 4 lines available to configure and 2 identifiers which are usually rotated vertically which are used to indicate the Bin Number location.

PartLabelTemplate Line options

The Part Label Template can be modified to display up to 4 lines and an optional identifier (usually the Bin Number, vertically). These are the properties available for each Line template:

• label [number] - specify which label to print the line on, for label paper that is ganged in 1's, 2's, or offset. By default, 30346 paper is a single label but it is in label position 2, with label position 1 being empty. 30277 paper is ganged in 2's so you can choose which label to print on (1 or 2).
• content [string] - the template or text to display. Template fields are enclosed by braces {fieldName}. All fields reference a Part property, such as partNumber, description, manufacturer, manufacturerPartNumber, location, binNumber, binNumber2, quantity, lowStockThreshold, cost, digiKeyPartNumber, mouserPartNumber, packageType, mountingType, partType, partId, keywords, datasheetUrl.
• fontName [string] - any valid font name, default is Segoe UI
• fontSize [number] - font size in points, default is 16
• color [string] - font color in hex, default is #000000
• autoSize [bool] - if the text exceeds the width, the font size will be scaled down to fit
• upperCase [bool] - converts all text to uppercase
• lowerCase [bool] - converts all text to lowercase
• rotate [number] - degrees to rotate text
• position [string] - center, right, left
• margin [object] - specifies left, right, top, bottom margins around the line
• barcode [bool] - specifies to encode the text as a barcode
