Community,

 

Our company never use system auto printed picking list,  we use emails all along. Now warehouse would like to change this, they would like IFS could print picking list automatically.

does anyone know how to config the printer?

 

Thank you.

You need to configure a Print Agent which acts as an interface between IFS (logical printing) and Windows (physical) printing. You can find all the info including how to install for Apps 10 here: https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/foundation1/010_overview/250_operational_reporting/140_print_agents/default.htm

@Srikanth Printer Agent is a standalone server, i don’t think we really have it. if we don’t use printer agent, that means we cannot auto print picking list from IFS?

Yes, Print Agent is a standalone utility which prints pre-formatted PDF documents that are created and stored in the database by the Report Formatter.

Looks like I misunderstood your original post. If you are looking to automate printing reports, here is an old Community post covering this topic:
