Print labels
If the Aptean Labeling extension is installed in Dynamics 365 Business Central, you can print labels after registering output. The output data is sent to Dynamics 365 Business Central where is determined which label should be printed. A label for register output via an API is available in the APTFB 26 LBL Labels package. For more information about printing labels, see Labeling.
You can also print the comments added when registering output. The character limit for the comment is 400 characters. These comments added on the Register Output page are distributed across the Extra Text Fields of the labels, each with a maximum character length of 100 characters. If you also install the Aptean License Plating extension, you can print the License Plate information directly on the label from the application based on the setup.
The comments and the license plate information are added to the labels when the Print Label checkbox is selected on the Register Output page.
The quantity shows how often the print function is used, it is not the number of labels printed, this is determined in Dynamics 365 Business Central.
The number shown next to the button indicates the number of times the print function is used.
