Master

The Short Name must be a number.

The UNC Name is the name of the printer as it is listed on the network (\\domainname\printername). It can also be listed as an IP Address.

If labels are being FTP'd to the printer, then check the FTP to Printer box. The User ID and Password are only required if the printer has been setup to require them. The FTP batch size allows you to limit the number of labels sent in any one file to the printer.

The Scale Factor field should be set to 1 for printers using a 203 dpi setting. All other printers should be scaled according to that setting. For example, a printer using 300 dpi should have a scale factor of 1.478.

PWO Control

Set up default printers for specific plants and printers in the PWO Control tab.

Select the printer you want to add in the bottom grid.

Select the Plant and Department from the drop-down fields and then click the green plus icon to add the printer.

The Print Production Work Orders screen will direct each PWO to the corresponding printer based on the setup here.

Tips

The UNC Name for any printer that is connected directly to a terminal must be LOCAL.
