Description

Printing labels is an essential task in any warehouse using barcode scanners

The integration to Cloud Print Service seamlessly combines data from Business Central, Mobile WMS with an online label designer.

Printing technology

The mobile app prints directly to the printer using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi(preferred).

This makes Mobile WMS devices able to access local printers.

When you purchase a cloud print license and printer from Tasklet, you are guided on how to physically set up your new printer.

Go to "Mobile Cloud Print Setup"
- This page contains the general setup
Click “Create Standard Setup” to generate the base setup
- This will create:
  - Default Label-Templates
  - Connection URL
  - Connection Tenant

Username and Password
- Cloud Print Service requires a separate license
  Please contact Tasklet Factory Sales to purchase a license and get account information
Tenant
- <TenantNameHere> - A unique to you
- "COMMONBC" - A shared tenant. This is used if you do not need to create new templates

Go to "Mobile Cloud Print Setup" and click "Printers"
- This page contains the physical printers that you have access to

Click Name to insert a new printer
- Network/Wi-Fi connected devices are identified with IP-address
  - Wi-Fi is much preferred over cabled network or Bluetooth
- Bluetooth connected devices are identified via MAC-address
  - Do not “pair” any devices
Select the correct DPI-setting for each printer
- The DPI can be found in the technical documentation or Supported Printers
  - If incorrect, labels will scale incorrectly
(optional) Select a Location
- This will make the printer only available when handling Orders and Lines for this Location

Go to "Mobile Cloud Print Setup" and click "Templates"
- This page contains templates (designs) that you have access to
On this page you can:
- Disable unused templates
- Create your own design (Copy Template)
- Limit printers to only specific templates (Assign Printers and the Available To-column)
- Set No. Series so labels gets numbered, e.g. License Plates -label

This step is only relevant if you use multiple printers and multiple labels.

A "label template" represents a label designed for a specific size of label i.e. 4x6-inch.
Label templates should only be assigned to printers that supports the label size the template has been designed for.

You can assign:

Printer to Templates
- Go to "Mobile Cloud Print Setup" and click "Templates" and Click "Assign Printers"
Templates to Printers
- Go to "Mobile Cloud Print Setup" and click "Printer" and Click "Assign Templates"

The step is only relevant if you want to automatically print labels when certain actions are performed on mobile.

Print on Sales Order Pick
- Template to print when mobile user posts picked item, directly on sales orders
Print on Warehouse Shipment Post
- Template to print when mobile user posts warehouse shipment
- Separate labels will be printed for each source documents, if multiple exists

You should now be able to print a label and verify the setup is correct.
