Print Destinations

Print Destinations allow companies to set the printers to which Part Forms and Report Layouts will print without requiring the user to select from a list. Print Destinations are also useful in situations where companies will have multiple printers associated to a production line or specific packaging area. For example, a company may have two printers in the line 1 and line 2 packaging rooms printing the same labels. One printer is a label printer printing a 4x6 case labels and one printer is a sheet printer printing an 8x11 skid sheet. Once Print Destinations have been created, they may be assigned to Facilities, Shop Areas, Report Layouts, and Part Forms. Beginning in version 17.04.004, Print Destinations can be assigned to Bill-To, Bill-To Facility, Ship-To, and Ship-To Facility records. Print Destinations can also be used with Deacom Local and Cloud Local print destinations.

Print Destinations include a hierarchy enabling companies to specify which printers to use based on the Shop Area or Facility where various business operations, such as production and shipping, occur. See the Maintaining Print Destinations page for complete information.

  • Supports the ability for user specific print destinations when printing multiple documents on different printers. For example, a user may print shipping documents for a sales order to one printer, while printing the shipping labels to another. In larger facilities, there may be several users performing the shipping process at the same time and each user has their own printers to increase output and accuracy.
