Use

In this Customizing activity, you define the printers for print output on the WWI generation server. In this case, print output takes place using print requests that are generated automatically or manually.

The following printer settings are available for print output using print requests:

  • Print Using WWI Generation Server:
    • The printer on the WWI generation server is used for printing.
    • The WWI generation server is connected to the output device and configured accordingly.
  • Print Using SAP Spool:
    • The Windows printer used in this Customizing activity must be assigned to a print station in the Customizing activity Assign Printer to Print Station.
    • The drivers for the Windows printer must correspond to or be compatible with the drivers for the SAP spool printer.

Requirements

You have configured one or more WWI generation servers in the Customizing activity Configure WWI Server for Print Request Creation.

Standard settings

Activities

Complete the following activities in sequence:

Transfer WWI Printer

  • Printer administration for Global Label Management is initial; the existing Windows printer, printer drivers, and output trays are transferred from the WWI generation server and activated.

    You can therefore configure the Customizing activity Assign Printer to Print Station.

  • You can transfer the WWI printers individually to Global Label Management printer administration. To do so, select the required WWI server from the input help (F4). You can select only one WWI server. This prevents printers from being installed on multiple WWI servers. If you do not select a WWI server, the system issues an error message.
  • If you select the Simulate checkbox, you can test the effects of transferring the WWI printers to printer administration or which printers are to be transferred. Doing so does not change the configuration of the WWI generation server.

Activate WWI Printer

  • The printer transferred to Global Label Management printer administration is activated using the checkbox. If you do not select the Printer Active checkbox, the printers cannot be used for Global Label Management and cannot be edited in the Customizing activity Assign Printer to Print Station.
  • If you add, delete, or rename a printer on the WWI generation server, you must carry out the Transfer WWI Printer activity again.
  • If you delete entries from the table, you must also remove the entry from the Customizing activity Assign Printer to Print Station. Assignments are not removed automatically.
