Creating Printer Groups
You can create printer groups to identify printers used for specific areas or teams within your location. On a mobile app, you can choose a default printer group for a location. When you print a label or document, you can choose a different group that includes the printer you want to use.
Printer groups become available to all mobile apps for which you enable Mobile Printing.
To create a printer group:
-
Using the Mobile – Administrator role, go to Setup > Label Printing > Printer Groups > New.
-
On the Print – Printer Group page, in the Name field, enter a unique name for the group
-
Click Save.
After you save a new group, the Print - Printer Group subtab appears on the page.
-
On the Print – Printer Group subtab, click New Print – Printer Mapping to add a printer.
-
On the Print – Printer Mapping page, set values in the following fields:
-
Printer – Select the name of the printer you want to add to the group.
-
Priority – Enter a unique number greater than zero to indicate the priority of this printer with regard to other ones for this printer group.
The app arranges the list of printers based on priority numbers, in ascending order.
-
-
Click Save.
You can repeat steps 5 to 7 to add more printers to this group.
On the printer record, you can view the list of groups to which a printer belongs. See Setting Up Your Printers.
