Get your scanner and printer ready

Do this before you pick or receive. Connecting PrintNode is an administrator task under Configuration → Settings.

Scanner

1. Connect the scanner and check the battery or cable.
2. In ChannelDock, scan a known product barcode (for example in WMS → All products search, or the Scan and search field on Pick & Pack). It should fill the field as if you pressed Enter.
3. If nothing appears, check the connection. For Zebra issues, a supervisor may reset DataWedge.

Use Search everything… (Ctrl + Space) at the top of the app when you need to find an order, product or serial quickly.

Printer

Printers are assigned per user on Configuration → Settings → Printers (Printer settings): A6 Printer (labels) and A4 Printer (packing slips). Connecting or deleting PrintNode is for administrators.

1. Load label stock the right way round.
2. Confirm your name has the printers for your station. If you have the Change Printer right, you can switch the dropdowns. Work stations let a supervisor map a packing table barcode to A6/A4 printers.
3. Do an approved test: reprint or download an existing packing slip from an order (More actions → Print packing slip). Do not create a new shipment only to test paper.
