Print your first label

With at least one product registered and a printer set up, your first label comes out in seconds.

Steps

1. On the home screen, tap New label.
2. Select the product. Use search if the list is long.
3. Pick a validity state:
   • Primary — sealed package in the fridge/freezer.
   • Opened — after opening.
   • Manipulated — after portioning/preparing.
   • Thawed — after taking out of the freezer.
   • Cooked — after cooking.
4. Check the calculated expiration date — EtiquetaChef uses the rules configured for that product and state.
5. (Optional) adjust the label quantity.
6. Tap Print.

The label is registered as active (it can be discarded later) and shows up under “Active labels”.

If the label doesn’t print

• Bluetooth disconnected: the app reconnects automatically, but it can take 2-3 seconds. Wait and try again.
• Out of paper: many thermals flash a red LED. Reload the roll.
• Print error: see “Troubleshooting → Print failures”.
