  1. The initials of the user printing the label
  2. The product's storage condition

6. You can review the label preview to ensure that the information is correct.

7. Clik on Print. Your selection will be sent for printing, and you will then return to the Labels page where you can pring more labels if you need to.

If you don't have an internet connection... don't worry!

Labelling with Andy works the same way even without an internet connection.
However, to update the printing data in the Control Panel, you need to restore the internet connection so that Andy can automatically update the prints made offline.
You can also manually update these changes by going to Settings > Status  and clicking on Sync Now . The message will indicate the changes pending to synchronise that were made when there was no connection.



It is essential to enable automatic date and time to proceed with the printing.

Andy is capable of detecting if you are printing on the correct date and time, so doing otherwise would affect the proper functioning of the business. 
Click on Go to Settings to enable this function and return to Andy to continue printing!
