Output Control

The Output Control tab for bin labels enables you to define printing information related to part bin labels.

To print the labels, you must specify at least three in the Number of print lines for bin label field on the Labels tab of the Data -> Parts Items -> Setup -> Options screen. If the optional Bar Code module is installed, the labels include a bar code pattern for the part number, and you must define the Number of print lines for bin label as at least seven.

Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on location ID, part ID/suffix from and to, and bin ID from and to. You can specify that print labels be printed for specific locations. To print labels for all locations, leave the location ID blank in the filter. Label information is printed in the sort order specified. If a sort order is not specified, the default is location, part ID, part suffix, and bin ID, in that order.

Detail View

Data in the fields in the bottom section of this tab define the printing information.

Printer ID

Identifier of the printer associated with the Output destination field when the destination is a print queue. This field has a list box of printer IDs specified as used by the logged on user.

If there is information in this field, bin labels print automatically when you update information on this screen. If you do not want to print bin labels, make sure this field does not contain an ID. Optional, but required to print bin labels.

Default label printers (if any) for users are specified on the Printers tab of the System Mgmt -> Setup -> Access Rights -> Users screen.

Output destination

Output destination associated with the printer in the Printer ID field. The destination displays after you specify the printer ID. This field is display only. The destination is one of the following:

Name of the print queue.
Path to and file name under which you want to save the bin labels. If the file already exists, the output is appended to the existing file.

Output destinations are associated with printer IDs on the System Mgmt -> Setup -> Printers -> Printer Devices/Queues screen.
