Print and account for time
Get labels to the right printer
Why this step
Cutting labels and glazing labels are printed at different stations by different people. Print queues put each label where the person who needs it is standing.
What this does
Monitors automated network label printer queues (Zebra, TSC), spooling serialized piece tags, cut profile labels, and glass unit identifiers.
Before you start
- Network label printers connected and label formats defined in configuration.
Steps
Important
Use industrial thermal-transfer label stock resistant to anodizing chemicals, cutting lubricants, and glass washing detergents.
-
01
Go to Production › Shop Floor › Print Jobs.
-
02
Review pending, printing, and completed label print batches triggered from cutting plans or MO confirmations.
-
03
Select any failed or jammed print job and click Reprint to resend ZPL commands.
-
04
Filter print queues by workstation printer (e.g. Saw 1 Label Printer, Glazing Bay Printer).
Common mistakes
- Ignoring printer offline alerts, leading to saw operators cutting profiles without attached labels.
- Using paper labels on raw aluminium intended for outdoor weather exposure.
Checkpoint
A cutting label prints at the saw and a glazing label at the glazing bench, without anyone routing it by hand.
