Item labels are printed on label printers to be placed on the packaging of your items. Some restaurants use labels in place of make tickets. This topic explains how to configure a label printer in Store Manager. To direct specific items in your menu to a label printer using make routes, see Set Printer Make Routes and Format Make Tickets.
