  3. If the product has no barcode, click Generate. MAJA fills an in-store EAN-13 barcode and tells you to print its label after saving.
  4. For packs and cartons with their own barcodes, use Pack & carton barcodes.
  5. Click Save Item.

Steps — every item without a barcode

  2. Choose the Label format: A4 sheets of 65, 40 or 24 labels, or a label roll (50 × 25, 38 × 25 or 58 × 40 mm).

  4. Under Price shown, choose selling price + VAT (the shelf price) or selling price as saved.

What MAJA does for you

  • When a price, name, barcode, VAT or pack price changes, or a new barcoded item is made, MAJA queues a label to reprint. The Print labels window shows "… labels to reprint" with an Add them button, and marks them printed once you print.

Good to know

  • A barcode can belong to one item only.
  • If nothing opens when you click Print, your browser blocked the pop-up. Allow pop-ups for MAJA and try again.
  • An item with no barcode shows "no barcode — give one first" in the label list.
