Print Procedure Codes
Print procedure codes are defined per transaction type. The following codes are supported:
• AJ (Adjustment)
• IN (Inspection)
• PK (Picking)
• RC (Receipt)
• SH (Shortage)
• TF (Transfer)
Print Flavor Codes
These codes determine the format of the printed output. Two flavors are supported:
• A. Use the default print formats.
• B. Use a print template. You can create your own templates from ASCII files, described in the next section.
Print Templates
Templates are flat ASCII files that contain the layout of required printed output. Use Print Template Load (4.21.3) to load the template into the database.
A template can contain the following elements:
• All the escape and control sequences required by specific printer types for specific functions such as bar coding, line drawing, font selection, and character position.
• Literal text that should appear as output such as field labels, headings, and banner messages.
• Token labels that are replaced by actual data when output is generated.
Token labels supported are:
• All base transaction fields. For transaction creation, all transaction detail fields are available.
• Associated fields. These are fields that are not on the base transaction but are related to it, such as item description or storage location group description.
• User-definable fields, values determined in a local exit routine.
Processing Print Requests
The Print Mode field determines how printed output is processed:
• MANUAL results in print requests being queued up until you run Print Request Maintenance (4.21.7). You can run this online or in a batch; for example, once every hour.
• AUTO means that as soon as the print request is made, output is printed.
Other Printer Options
The following options are also available on the Printer menu:
• Print Template Inquiry (4.21.4). Select from a list of existing templates.
• Print Template Report (4.21.5). Print details of selected templates.
• User Printer Maintenance (4.21.9). Change the printer defined for you in a work location group. You can only change your own printer assignment, not that of another user.
