<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBusiness Rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- A Label Printer record defines a physical or logical printer used to print product or shipment labels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Each Label Printer must have a unique Name within its Client and Organization scope.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The Function sub-tab defines print functions (commands) that the label printer executes, such as barcode or text output.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Only Active Label Printer records are available for selection during label printing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Function Prefix and Function Suffix define the printer command characters sent before and after the printed text.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The XY Position flag indicates whether a function uses coordinate-based placement on the label.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- User must have Role access to the Application Dictionary \/ Label Printer window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The physical or virtual printer must be installed and reachable from the iDempiere print process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Printer command syntax (prefixes, suffixes, coordinates) should be confirmed with the label printer’s documentation before setup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
