General Information

Default Menu Location: Maintain >> System >> Printer Control

Screen Name: PRINTCON

20/20 URL: PrinterControl_S.htm

Function: Each networked label printer must be set up in the Printer Control screen of Adjutant. Adjutant will not properly communicate with the printer without it being set up in this screen first. Laser Printers used in auto-processing Production Work Orders and laser form labels must also be set up here.

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 and choose "Edit".

Select the Plant and Department from the drop-down fields and then click the Add PWO Button.

The Print Production Work Order 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.
