All parts within the file will be viewed on the screen. If there are more than 1 page of  items within the file, you can scroll down through the list. This can be done by pressing the down arrow key on the key board or clicking on the down arrow in the scroll bar on the right hand side of the list of parts. You can also scroll down through the file just viewing the part number. This is done by putting the mouse on the scroll bar move button. Holding the button down and moving the button down the scroll bar.
A small box will appear showing the record number then the part number as you move the button down the scroll bar. Release the button and the list will jump to that particular part. You can also page down or up through the list using the page down and page up keys. If you wish to go to the end or the beginning of the file press end or home.

Directly under the list, you will see a row of boxes with a light background. The first box will say Note, the second box will say Buy Price, and so-on.
These boxes hold information about the record that is highlighted. So to view the amount of tax on a given part, highlight the part first and the percentage of tax will be displayed in the box below.
Red Text: If the totals at the bottom are in red, then the prices are tax exempt because a sale tax number was supplied on the invoice. This will only happen if the price book was accessed from an invoice.

You will note the Note box has a button. By clicking this button, the box will increase in size.

This has two uses:
1. To see the note text for this part in more detail.

2. To hide the prices behind, if someone is viewing the screen. This stops them from seeing the wholesale trade prices and your buying price

Print Bar Codes

By clicking on the Labels button, you will be able to print bar codes for a given part. Bar codes are printed onto cut-sheet laser or Bubble jet stickers. The stickers is Label size 25.4 x 98mm There are 20 labels per sheet. Labels can also be bought from Ian King Software if required. Other type of labels can be use if you can align the program to them.

When the bar code window opens, you will first be asked "How many rows?" As stickers are printed across the page one row at a time, you cant print just one bar code, But most the bar code sticker sheet is two stickers wide. So if you wish to have 20 bar codes you would tell it to print 10 rows.

The second question you are asked is Start at sticker row? This means what row of stickers do you wish to start at? If you have just printed bar codes for a particular part and you only wanted 4 bar codes, you would tell it to print 2 rows.
Therefore the rest of the page would be left blank. So when you want to print different bar codes, you tell it to start at row 3 and print from there on as the first two rows have been used. If you set it to print only 4 the page will not print unless you press Eject Page Button as the page will not print unless it is full.

Barcode Width : is the gap Between the Bars in dots

Page Alignment : (Sets top of page) is the start point up or down the page in mm. neg for up / Pos for down .

No. Across Page : Number of stickers across the page. 1- 6

Price , Description , Business Name : Options when checked will print these fields on to the Barcode.

Vertical Gap : is set at 25.4 as Std. This is the hight from top of sticker to top of next sticker.

Save will save the settings.

Enter on end: This is used to induce an enter into the bar code. This is actually a percent sign but the Bizz Wizz program will recognise a percent sign character as an ENTER key press. This is used if you wish to have your bar code reader automatic ENTER turned off. You can then produce bar codes which will automatically insert an enter. This gives you a lot more flexibility in how your program performs. You will probably find that you will have to experiment with this a little.

File Name Only : When checked will make a barcode for the name of the parts file only.

Types of Barcode : Try for Std. Barcode like on food "EAN 13" . Barcodes with Letters in them use one of the " 3 of 9 " codes or 128 codes

Sequential Numbers Check box is to create bar codes for serial numbers or just sequential part numbers. The Number and Description input boxes also replaces the part number and description of the part above, when the sequential number check box is ticked.

Print and Hold : This may not print your bar codes if the page is not full or only print 1 of 1.5 pages to get the rest of the pages to print click the Eject Page Button. or fill up the page with more barcodes. Some printers are quite slow to print depending on your Windows setup.

Eject Page Button : Ejects the Page out of the printer if barcodes are stored in the printer buffer.

Setup Printer Button
:- This allows you to setup your printer in the Windows common dialogue box.

Remote Barcode Scanning: This is the handheld unit that you can walk around the store with and then plug the unit back into the main computer and download the main file. The file must consist of a barcode number, a comma, a quantity, a comma, and then the next barcode number, and so on. This file can be used several different ways. To either download these items onto an Invoice or Order, or directly from the file configure button to import stock.

The Exit button, exits the bar code window.

Use of the bar code within the program both the file list box and the parts list box will recognise the bar codes if using a bar code reader. Also the quantity box will accept a bar code scan as well. So if you had a bar code with the file name it will automatically load the file. If you then have another bar code with the part number, it will automatically find the part number and accept it. Then if you had a third bar code with different quantities you could just bar code the quantity and it will be accepted. This may need some practice but should be easy enough to work out.
