In this guide, we will walk you through the process of configuring printers within the WMS software to meet your printing needs. Before proceeding, please ensure that you have followed the installation instructions provided - Printer installation
Printer Setup: To enable printing of barcode labels and other essential documentation in your FASTTRACK WMS software, each printer must be configured. We assume that you have already installed all the necessary printers, including barcode and laser printers, on your servers, as instructed in the Printer installation . This printer setup includes configuring all the printer settings required within FASTTRACK WMS to ensure the printing of labels and documents to the appropriate locations within each warehouse.
Understanding Printer Mapping: To provide flexibility in printing, FASTTRACK WMS has preconfigured every function that involves printing labels or documents to a specific printers based on the warehouse. For example, a barcoded label for a bin location can be set up to print on one barcode label printer when the user is logged into warehouse "30," but it can be directed to a different barcode label printer if the user changes the warehouse to "20." This mapping feature allows you to assign different printers for various documents within each warehouse.
Print Stations: While not mandatory, Print Stations can take your warehouse printer mapping to the next level. By configuring Print Stations, you can further refine your printing setup. Labels are mapped based on functions (e.g., bin label), warehouses, and the users logged into a specific Print Station. This additional level of mapping enables you to direct labels and other documents to specific printers located at each Print Station. For instance, if you have five packing stations in your warehouse, and each packing station can print packing lists and carton/pallet labels, using this advanced mapping feature, you can assign a set of printers to each packer's table, ensuring efficient printing.
Let us review how to configure printers, understand printer mapping, and set up Print Stations within FASTTRACK WMS.
