When you have finished adding a batch of specimens using the Add Specimen Expert tool, you may print barcode labels for any or all of the aliquots associated with those specimens. To print the barcodes:

  • Start at the end of the Add Specimen Expert Tool process with the Add Results window displayed — see Adding a Batch of Specimens Using the Add Specimen Expert Tool for instructions about adding a batch of specimens using that tool.
  • For each specimen in the batch, check (to print barcodes for that specimen) or uncheck (to not print any barcodes for that specimen) the Include in Print checkbox at the end of the specimen details. (As a default, all checkboxes will be checked already.)

  • Enter the number of copies of each label to print in the # to Print field in the top right corner of the window.

  • Click on the barcode icon next to that field. The Barcode Printing window will appear, displaying images of each of the barcode labels to be printed.

  • Select the Lab and the Printer to print the barcode labels on in the fields at the top of the Barcode Printing window.

  • To print only some of the labels, check or uncheck the checkbox in the lower right corner of each label. Checked labels will be printed and unchecked labels will not. (This allows you to print the labels for only specific aliquots from a specimen. The previous window selections were made for the entire specimen only.) By default, all labels will be checked.

  • Check or uncheck all labels at the same time by using the All checkbox at the top of the list.

  • Click the Print button to send the selected labels to the selected printer to be printed.
