Physical Zebra printer installation (not covered in this guide)

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


Setting up Cloud Print Service in Business Central

Step 1 - Generate a standard setup

  • Go to "Mobile 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



Step 2 - Enter credentials

  • 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



Step 3 - Insert Mobile Printers

  • Go to "Mobile Print Setup" and click "Templates"
    • 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



Step 4 - Review / Set up label templates

  • Go to "Mobile 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
       


(Optional) Step 5 - Assign Templates to Printers

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


 

(Optional) Step 6 - Print on mobile actions

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
       

Step 7 - Verify setup

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