Defining and Assigning Printers
You must define printers and assign them to the appropriate label types before you can print labels. You define printers in the System Administrator responsibility, and assign printers in the Choose Document and Label Printers window.
Defining Printers
System Administrator (N) Install > Printer > Register
Assign Printers to documents
(N) Setup > Warehouse Configuration > Printers & Devices > Assign Printers to documents
You can assign shipping documents and selected reports to specific printers for multiple levels. The levels are:
User, Responsibility, Application, Site, Zone/Subinventory, Format and Organization
Oracle Shipping will look for a printer at the User level first. If one exists, then it is selected, if one does not exist at the User level, then the system will look for a printer at the Responsibility level. This pattern will continue until a printer is found at one of the levels. If more than one printer is setup at a level, then you must use the Default check box to specify the preferred printer at that level. You should only have one default printer at each level.
If the document to be printed is a Pick Slip report, the system will look at the Subinventory level first. If a printer exists at the Subinventory level, then it will select that printer, but if a printer does not exist, then the system will look at the Organization level and then through the rest of the levels.
For example, you can assign pick slips and pack slips to your warehouse tractor feed printer, your mailing labels to a tractor feed printer stocked with blank labels, and other documents to a laser printer in your order entry office.
The window consists of a Document and a Printer tab: the Documents tab displays all the documents assigned to a printer, while the Printers tab displays all printers assigned to a document.
If a user or responsibility is not specified, Shipping Execution uses the printer assigned to the application.
Note: The document can be anything a normal report like pick slip or a label type like LPN or LPN content.
