How to print barcodes
To print bar codes you first need POS software that will contain all the pertinent information of your products. The software then will generate a bar code and assign it to your individual products allowing them to be scanned for inventory and checkout purpose. You can find labels here:

Printer problem
I called CAM Commerce Solutions, the retail POS software we use, and they were able to fix my problem. I was missing another component of the print program that only CAM Commerce has.
IT PRINT A LABEL THEN SKIPS A LABEL THEN PRINTS A
You need to make sure the media and ribbon are installed correctly, and then make sure the printer is calibrated. Once you verify the media is correct, power off the printer and then back on. It should feed a few labels. Then press the button to feed again to make sure it feeds only one. If it does, then the printer is set. Now, when you go to print, if it still acts up, you need to check either the driver settings or the software settings. Label size could be set incorrectly.
No gap detected
This could be caused by a couple of issues:
- Dirty sensor (use compressed air and blow out printer)
- Wrong media (using labels with black bars obscuring the gap and making it non-readable by sensor)
- Wrong label format for size of labels used (make sure label size matches the template size)

My TLP 2742 skips every other label
Skipping every other label is a software template or size format issue. This means your label size in the computer is not set up to match the label size your printing or you have too much text on your label causing it to print out of the bottom margin causing it to skip to the next label.. Very common issue.
We have labels that may help alleviate your problem as well
