Divisional Printers


System Maintenance Menu -> Configure System Settings -> System Tab -> Printer/Device Setup -> Divisional Printers

This menu option is used only when Operators by Division processing is activated from Company Information.

Divisional output options can be maintained in the Report Devices by Division window in the "Printer Setup" parameters on the System tab of the Configure System Settings.
An operator must be assigned a Security Role that allows permission to the System - Divisional Printers in order to access this table.

After prompting for a Division, it is similar to System-Wide Printers.
Head Office printers are still controlled by System-Wide Printers so blank is not valid in the Division selection field.

Device Name Restrictions:
Device name cannot contain ">" character.
Device name cannot contain a "/" character unless path is /dev/null or starts with /tmp/
Device name can not be a directory.

Defining a Remote Printer:
In the 'Divisional Printers' table, additional print flags can be defined in the device name field.
Such as if the print server is a remote server, the server address can be entered after the printer name:
e.g. Zebra1 -h 127.0.0.1:1234 will print to printer Zebra1 using the print server 127.0.0.1 on port 1234

Selecting the Printer in a Session:
Once the printers have been setup, a printer can be confirmed or re-selected from the Printer option located on the menu bar at the top of the screen, or by clicking on the SET PRINTER button on the main menu screen as outlined in Printer Selection.

Texada Web Printers:
Printers can be setup for printing the Work Order Tag and for In Yard Return Receipt when Texada Web is configured in Logistics.
The Texada Web printer is always a divisional printer based on the default division of the operator assigned in the Operator Codes details.
