Setting Up Your Printers
When you safelist the IP address of your local computers, NetSuite automatically loads and adds the available printers to your account. For more information about safelisting your IP addresses, see Configuring Security Settings.
You can classify the printer type of each device as either a report printer or a label printer. You can also assign them to a location. When you print from a mobile app, you can choose a printer assigned to the currently selected location, the default printer assigned to a print report, or a printer not assigned to a location.
If you create printer groups, you can assign a printer to multiple groups. On a printer record, you can view the list of groups to which it belongs. On the app, you can choose a default printer group for a location. During printing, you can choose a different group associated with the printer you want to use. To set up and assign printer groups, see Creating Printer Groups.
To set up your printers:
-
Access the Print - Printers List page through one of the following paths that applies to your role:
-
Using the Mobile Administrator role, go to Setup > Label Printing > Printers.
-
Using the Packing or Ship Central Administrator role, go to Setup > Printing Setup > Printers.
-
-
From the Print - Printers List, click Edit next to the printer you want to set up.
Tip:If you do not find your printer in the list, verify that you have safelisted the IP Address of the local computer associated with your printer. See Configuring Security Settings.
-
On the Print - Printers page, in the Printer Type field, select one of the following printer types:
-
Report - Standard document printer for PDF templates in .XML file format
-
Label - Label printer for ZPL templates in .TXT file format
For more information about print templates, see WMS Standard Labels for Mobile Printing for Warehouse Management or Shipping Labels and Documents for Mobile Printing.
-
-
(Optional) In the Printer Location field, select the location you want to associate with the printer.
You can access a printer regardless of the app’s location setting if you do not associate it with a location or if you assign it as a default printer of a print report.
-
Click Save.
After you classify a printer, you can set it up as the default printer for label or document. You can also add rules that specify when you want to use it. You can use it for specific templates, locations, items, or other such cases. For more information about print reports, see Setting Up Printing Settings on Print Reports.
