DOWNLOAD BARCODING PROGRAM

The barcodes are simple and easy to do... Once you have the barcode program on your computer. You have several options:

1. (Recommended) Print off an entire page (30) or half a page (15) of each price you may want to use. Example: 15 $5.00, 15, $6.00, 15, $7.00, 15, 8.00, etc. When you price your items, pick the one you need. Use only the ones you need now and save the others for the next sale.... ( your seller number will not change!!)

2. Sit at your computer with your items and figure out exactly how many labels you need at a specific price.

PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL US IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, WE ARE HAPPY TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS. Tess (903-705-2236).

Welcome to the CCC barcode program! We are excited to offer this to our sellers. This guide is written with the busy mom in mind, even ones that may not be extremely familiar with computers. You will only need to download this once....just leave it on your computer for future sales.

Step 1. Print this page of instructions for easy reference.

Step 2. Go to Barcodes page and click on "download the program".

Step 3. A dialog box will pop up asking "Do you want to run or save this file?". Click on "Run" or "Open". Another box will open saying "The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?" Again click "run" or "open".

Step 4. The next box will be a Winzip Self Extractor. It will say "To unzip all files in ccclabeling.exe to the specified folder press the Unzip button." Click on the Browse button and choose the "Desktop", click "OK" and then click on "Unzip". (This places the program on your desktop so that you can easily access it.) Next you will see a pop up box stating you have unzipped 4 files successfully. Click "OK" and close the Winzip box by selecting the "X".

Step 5. There should be 4 new icons on your desktop.... setup.lst, setup, ccclabels and Carolina Bar.... Double click on the setup icon (should look like a computer with a box in front of it.) This begins the installation process. On the first screen click "OK". The next screen has a button that again looks like a computer with a box in front of it. Click on it. In the next box click continue.... It sets up the necessary program files. The program will be listed as CCC labeling. After it loads a message will come up, "CCC labeling setup was completed successfully." Click "OK".

Step 6. Next we will load the Carolina Bar Font (one of the 4 icons). It looks like a page with a capital T in it.

VISTA USERS..... Right click on it and select "Install". Windows Vista will load the font for you.

ALL OTHER USERS.... Right click on it and select "OPEN". When the font opens you will double click on "done" (near the top of the icon screen).

Step 7. TURN OFF your computer. This is very important!!!!

Step 8. Let's clean up the desktop. You can highlight the following icons (by right clicking on them) and click "delete" or drag them to your recycle bin. Setup.lst, Setup.exe or maybe just Setup, Carolina Bar and CCClabels icon. This just deletes the unecessary icons from your desktop.

LOOKING GOOD AT THIS POINT---WE'RE ALMOST THERE!!!

Step 9. To open the CCC labeling program click on the Start Menu, select All Programs and look for CCC labeling in the list. When the program opens you should see a small yellow screen with these words across the bottom.... "You should not be able to read this. If you can, click on the fonts button and then double-click on the CarolinaBar-B39-25F2 BoldItalic (truetype) icon." If it is blank you will still need to load the font. It's easy.... Click on the fonts button and find CarolinaBar icon (they are in alphabetical order). Click on it and then at the top of the fonts screen click Done. Close the window by clicking the X. Close the barcode program by clicking on Cancel.

Step 10. Last step.... Let's make it easy to find in the future. Go to the Start button, choose All Programs, look for CCC Labeling. Click on it once to highlight and it should shoot out a drop box with the words ccc labeling. Right click on it and Choose Send to....then choose Desktop. This puts the program on your desktop so that it is easy to find!!

Step 11: You are now ready to tag your items!!! GOOD NEWS-- you don't need to do this again...once it's on your computer you can reuse it as many times as you like. Reopen the CCC labeling program, click Continue. Now, simply input your seller number and click the disk icon (this saves your number-- you won't have to enter it each time you open the program). Now you enter the quantity of barcodes you need for each price you plan to use. If you DO NOT WANT your items to go half price, uncheck the box. All unchecked boxes will have a red dot printed on the label. When you have the information entered you may click PRINT LABELS. The program totals the number of labels you are requesting to help you know how many label pages you need. (30 labels are on each page). Use regular address labels (1" x 2 5/8 ') Avery 5160, 8160 or similar. Print the labels and simply place them onto the bottom of your index card.
