Background documentationLabel Printing Using PC

 

In Global Label Management, you can use Label Printing (transaction CBGL_MP01) to print determined labels using a printer connected to a local PC or using the SAP spool system.

Prerequisites

In Customizing for Global Label Management, you have configured the settings described under Print Labels Using PC.

Features

When you print labels using a PC, you have the following options:

  • If you want to output the labels using a printer that is connected to the user's PC, the output is generated on the WWI generation server and transferred to the user's PC. The label is then printed using a printer.

    Printing is carried out using the print program of Global Label Management (glmPT.exe).

  • If you want to print the labels using SAP spool output devices, a printout is first generated on the WWI generation server. This file is then transferred to the application server where it is printed as an SAP spool request. The created file is transferred to the output controller's spool request list. The spool request number is displayed in the status bar.

Once printing is complete, the system deletes the label and the underlying file. Consequently, you cannot reprint the label. If labels need to remain available after they are printed, you need to configure label printing using print requests. For more information, see Printing of Labels Using Print Requests.

Note Note

If printing using a PC, note the following: You can use this print output for manual printing triggered in Label Printing only.

End of the note.
