Setting the TWL printers

Because TWL operates as part of the Distribution SX.e system, all printers used for TWL functions must be set up in SA Printer Setup. For example, your must set up printers for order managers to print pick lists or work orders. You must set up printers for RF operators to print packing lists, manifests, and other reports.

  1. Select System Administrator > Setup > Printer Setup.
  2. Click New.
  3. In Printer Name, specify your TWL printer name.
  4. Click Save.
  5. In the Required section, specify this information:
    Description
    Specify an expanded version of the printer name. If you use a numbering scheme for printer names, the description should describe the actual printer name or location of the printer.
    Width
    Optionally, specify the width of the printer. You can specify 80 or 132 column printers. The system automatically condenses a report to fit a smaller-width printer if the correct code strings are specified on the Settings view.
    Type
    Select the type of device.
    Device or Command
    Optionally, specify the device or command associated with this printer name. This command is an operating system command that is used by the system to direct reports to a specific file or output device.
    Swap Printer
    Optionally, specify the printer to use when the operator specifies the incorrect type of printer. If the operator specifies the incorrect type, and this field has a value, the swap printer is automatically loaded. If this field is blank and the operator specifies the incorrect printer type, then an error message is displayed.
    Group

    Specify the name of the printer group to which to assign this printer.

    This name should be the group you created in Setting the TWL printer groups.
