Print job labels and reprint selected items

Create job and bike labels, identify loose parts, reprint selected labels and check print history safely.

Print labels to identify a job, bike or loose item such as a fork or parts bag. Each label keeps the job number visible. A scan code can open the matching job in Workshop.

Set up your printer and template

Start in Configuration → Printing. Register a CloudPRNT-compatible network printer, then open or create a template under Job labels. Job and stock labels have separate templates and defaults. See label printing setup for the connection steps.

Choose the label size that matches your roll. For example, use 55 × 30 mm for 55 × 30 mm stickers; do not leave a larger preset selected because it looks better on screen. The job number stays on the label. Add the customer name, bike, item description or scan code as needed.

Job-label template on desktop

The template editor uses sample data. Its square scan-code symbol is a placeholder, not a job you can scan. Check the real label from a job and its printed output before using the template for a batch.

On a phone, scroll within the editor to move between the form and preview. Tap a field to open its settings. The Save action stays at the bottom.

In the editor's Test print section, choose the printer and send a test label. Check that the content fits on the sticker, is readable and scans. Once the printer has confirmed the test and you have checked the paper, select Looks good. If the job's print dialog asks you to complete setup, use Open Printing Configuration to return to this step.

Open labels from a job

Open the job, select its three-dot action menu and choose Print Labels. Choose the printer and job-label template at the top of the dialog.

Quick copies

Use Quick copies when every label should identify the same job or bike. Choose a bike, or Whole job (no bike), then set Qty to print. Check the preview and select Print Labels when ready.

Named items

Use Named items to distinguish loose items. Choose the bike if relevant, enter an Item description such as “Fork” or “Parts bag”, and set its quantity. Use Add item for the next item. You can include up to 20 items in one request, with up to 99 copies of each.

Check the descriptions and quantities before selecting Print Labels. The item description is saved with the label so you can select it again later.

A named item ready for review on desktop

On a phone, the form appears above a collapsible Template preview. Expand it to check the label, then return to the form to make any changes.

Reprint only the labels you need

Choose Reprint labels in the job's label dialog. Select up to 20 saved labels and review the quantity beside each selected item. Choose the current printer and template, then select Print Labels.

When a job has no saved labels, this tab explains that there is nothing to reprint yet. Create the first labels using Quick copies or Named items.

You can also open Print history, expand a confirmed request and choose Reprint labels. This adds its labels to the reprint selection; it does not immediately send them to the printer. Review the selection, quantities and template before printing.

Read print history and recover safely

Print history appears once there is a request to show. Expand an entry to see its printer, time, labels, quantities and outcome. The statuses mean:

  • Waiting: the request is queued and will continue when the printer reconnects. Avoid creating another request for the same labels while it is waiting.

  • Sending: the printer is receiving the request and confirmation is still pending.

  • Confirmed: the printer acknowledged the request. Check the paper for fit, completeness and scan quality.

  • Check output: Bikebook cannot confirm the outcome. Check what physically printed before retrying, because some or all labels may already have printed.

  • Failed: fix the reported printer problem, then use Retry request when available. If the message asks for firmware that supports job acknowledgements, update the printer or ask support for help.

For uncertain output, the retry action stays unavailable until you tick I checked the printed output. Retry requests are shown in the history so you can follow the original attempt and its retry.

If submitting the form loses its response, use Resend same request or check Print history. Resending recovers that submission; starting a fresh batch could create an extra set of labels.

Scan and check the paper

Scan the code on an actual job label to open its matching Workshop job. Sign in when asked and select the correct workshop; scanning does not grant access to a job you cannot otherwise open.

Keep the whole scan code and its clear border on one sticker. If text runs off the right edge or the code crosses a label gap, correct the label dimensions or layout and test again. The on-screen preview is an approximation, so a successful printer acknowledgement does not replace checking the physical output.

For full working sheets and customer receipts, use job tickets and receipts.
