Set up printers

Set up the printers that can be used from the Anywhere apps as designed in the Mobility studio.

The printer setup in the Mobility studio consists of these elements:
  • Printer types - The different types of printers that can be used by the apps as designed in the Mobility studio. For example: packing slip printer or label printer. 
  • Printers - The links to the registered network printers for each printer type. 
  • Default printers - The default printers for each warehouse, user, and printer type combination. 

For each Anywhere app, in the related parameters, you define the printer type for each type of document that can be printed.

If you print from an Anywhere app, the document is printed on the default printer for the defined printer type and the applicable warehouse and user.
