Printer Requirements

Any printer that has Windows drivers can be made compatible with the main DEACOM application and DEACOM’s Warehouse Management System. For DEACOM Mobile, Direct Store Delivery, WMS, and AutoFinisher, Zebra printers are recommended (specifically, models Zebra QLN420 Mobile Printer, Zebra GK420 and Zebra ZT230). The Zebra QLN420 Mobile Printer is recommended for WMS use.

• Because the DEACOM WMS application does not communicate directly with the printers but rather through the Operating System's Print Spooler Service, it is possible to use Bluetooth Printers with DEACOM. If the server or machine running the Automation Service has Bluetooth capability built in, and the printer is installed on this machine, then DEACOM should inherently be able to print to this device. If using mobile Bluetooth printers it is well advised to be within range of the host machine when attempting to print via a Bluetooth printer through the WMS application.
• DEACOM comes with a built-in PDF printer called the Deacom PDF Converter 4. Additionally, the Microsoft Print To PDF writer, Windows built-in PDF writer available to Windows 10 and Server 2016, is used by DEACOM versions released after 12/08/2017, if available on the computer.
• To print from the Mobile and DSD applications, a Bluetooth printer must be paired with each device using the application via Bluetooth connection on the device setup.

See the Printer Configuration page for printer setup information.
