Introduction
Manufacturers can print NFC adhesive labels directly from Scannable, without any third party label printing software. These labels include product information, serial numbers, and embedded NFC tags that link to each unique item. This guide explains how label printing works and how to preview or print labels for a serial run.
When Labels Are Used
After a serial run is created with the serial numbers for each rope length:
Attach the serial number to the product
Efficiently link an NFC tag automatically as the printer has the NFC function built in
Ensure equipment owners can scan, identify, and add items to their inventory
Provide product specs and compliance information directly on the label
Printing NFC Labels
From any serial run, you can print labels using the Print All Labels action.
How it works
You can print one or two labels for each serial number / item
Labels include:
Product information
Serial number
Batch number
Manufacturer details
Customer logo
Each printed label contains an NFC tag, which is scanned by the printer and linked/associated with the serial number/unique item.
Single- or Double-End Labels
For ropes, manufacturers may choose:
Single labels
Double labels (two identical NFC tags for each rope end)
This setting is configured by Scannable within the system and is not user configurable.
Other Print Options
In the label printing menu, manufacturers can also:
Print First Label
Prints only the first label in the sequence.
Useful for checking:
Layout
Logo placement
Text alignment
NFC encoding behaviour
Print One Serial
Enter a specific serial number to reprint a single label.
This is helpful when:
A label is damaged
A tag fails during printing
A label goes missing
