Printer
Warehousing uses network printers for a number of key functions in the system
Delivery notes
Picking notes
Labels
| Tip |
|---|
These printers are required to be located on your network with their own fixed IP addresses; the WMS will print to these directly from the server through the VPN to your network. |
These key functions are either used for FLEX or they are used by automated services which send print jobs to the printers independent of the users.
Other printers should be visible as redirect printers when you are provided with the printer list, this means that they are using Microsoft RDP to provide you with your local printers whilst using the server.

The same network path can be present for multiple sites. |
Setup Options
Site | The site code where this printer resides, allows us to limit the choices when we are asking which printer to send the print job to. |
Labels Only? | Predominantly used by flex to show only label printers when you are printing a label from flex. However is being used to stop those printers from being displayed in printer choices when they are not applicable. |
Friendly Name | Pick a good name, avoid peoples names or generic, when you have multiple sites it is worthwhile having the site code. e.g. SN_DeliveryNotes_82 |
Network Path | The server path to the printer it is ususally \\<servername>\<shareprintername> OR <shareprintername> Avoid using direct IP addresses in this column it should be the shared printer name from the server. Should you add the printer IP directly into this field Vision will try to print directly and if this does not work there is NOTHING stored and no log and no information so always use the server network share name. |
Flex Lite
Flex Lite was withdrawn in 2017 and remains in the system for compatibility until no longer needed. Flex Lite is not the same as FLEX which is still operational and supported.
