There are situations when you may need to print labels to different printers than what has already been set up. For example:
No setup has been performed, but a one-off label request is needed
You need to print to a particular printer for a single request, but do not want to change the printer assignment setup
The printer that has been assigned has a temporary problem, and you want to print to an alternate printer for a single request
The Label Printing screen enables you to manually submit requests to print labels using the mobile user interface. To manually print a label, you need to specify the label type, format, printer, and number of labels to be printed.
The fields that you can enter on the mobile device to drive the printing of a given label type differ per label type. For instance, Location label type allows you to specify the subinventory and optionally, locator, but does not query you for any information about items or serial numbers.
Navigate to the Label Printing screen.
Enter the following information:
Label Type
Specify the label type for the label print request. You can select any label type.
Format
Specify the label format to be used for the label print request. If it is left blank, the Oracle Warehouse Management Rules Engine will be used to determine the correct label format to be used.
Printer
Specify the printer to be used for the label print request. If it is left blank, the printer assignment setup will be used to determine the correct printer to be used.
Copies
Specify the number of labels you wish to print.
Select Done.
Note: For pick drop you cannot print multi-record format shipping content labels
The mobile Label Printing request screen enables you to manually request labels for locators and subinventories. These requests can be initiated one at a time, for each subinventory and each locator, or they can be issued for all locators of a particular subinventory, or all locators of all subinventories (if the subinventory is locator controlled). This can be done by selecting the seeded values "All Subinventories" and/or "All Locators" in the mobile page. For each of the labels that will be printed, the label format will be selected by the Rules Engine.
