    1.2 Configuring the printer

    The print settings can be modified by going to the menu item Settings → Print

    During the initial installation, you must set the printer for the labels and the printer for the protocols.

    In the drop-down menus set the values in required fields according to your print preferences.

    For printing on ZEBRA printer we recommend the following basic settings:

    Thermal printer language:    ZPL

    Labels printer type:                Zebra

    Protocols printer type:          Laser

    Labels printing DPI:                203

    Choose from the following label formats – either A4 (4 labels per page) or A6 labels (1 label per page). All other settings are optional and can be modified as necessary.

     

    NOTE: If your labels are printed on A4 papers:

     

    A4 paper print start position: by default, labels are printed in the order of 1 to 4. You can change the starting position here

    Remember last A4 paper print position: this option is good if you want to re-use label paper. Ex: If your last label was printed on position 3, then the next one will be printed on position 4.

    Paper size for labels printing: Select A4 if you wish to print your labels with a regular printer.

    NOTE: If your labels are printed on A6 papers:

     

    A4 paper print start position: ignore this field. It’s irrelevant for A6 printing.

    Remember last A4 paper print position: ignore this field. It’s irrelevant for A6 printing.

    Paper size for labels printing: Select A6 to print on A6 labels.

    Click Save and Print test label to test the print settings.

    In the Printer rules section, it is possible to set specific printing rules for protocols and labels, according to various attributes used in in the shipments.

    For adding the printer rule for protocol printing, click + Add button.
