\nOracle WMS sends the XML directly to the printer. The label printer is capable of receiving XML that meets Oracle\u2019s label specification and merges with pre-defined label formats to print a label.<\/p>\n
\nList of XML Direct Printers:
\nList of printers that support this approach are Zebra, Intermec, Cognitive Solutions, Datamax, Toshiba TEC, Printronix and Sato.<\/p>\n
\nWith \u2018XML DIRECT PRINTER\u2019 approach, we cannot print customized labels.
\nIf customer has to print customized labels, it is advised to follow \u2018print server partner\u2019 approach.

\nWe can deploy Zebra thermal printers for printing all the labels. However, Zebra Technologies has embedded an XML parser in its XML-enabled XiIIIPlus printers, so that the printer without additional middleware or server hardware natively understands the output from Oracle WMS and MSCA. ZebraNet Bridge simplifies Label Printing managing a distributed network of printers by allowing us to easily publish a new format to all or some printers at once.<\/p>\n
\nIntermec has a \u2018Label Loader Utility\u2019, an easy-to-use wizard that guides you through loading the formats to the printers and then testing the format with a generic XML file.<\/p>\n
\nWe can print labels directly with Advantage LX range of printers. However, we need to have knowledge of Cognitive Programming language (CPL) to filter the incoming data and map it the label file stored in the memory of the printer. We can use Nicelabel for designing the label formats.<\/p>\n
\nWe can print labels directly with I-Class and W-Class printers from DataMax. However, we need to have knowledge of Macro Command Language (MCL) to process the incoming label XML and map it to the label formats stored in the printer memory. For label design and print server, DataMax partners with Loftware.<\/p>\n
\nPrintronix offers direct thermal industrial label printer with its T5000r range of printers. It has a pre-installed interpreter either from Zebra, TEC, Intermec or SATO. We can optionally install \u2018Online Data Validation\u2019 (ODV) to validate our compliance labels. For example, a label field is compulsory and the label XML has a NULL value, then ODV will prevent the printer from printing the label and returns an error.<\/p>\n
\nWe can directly print your labels using CL408e, CL412E, CL608e and CL612e range of printers. Optionally, we can install Web Based Printer Control Server (WPC Server) to control printers and load labels into the network of SATO printers. We can also optionally install Label Gallery Plus to design labels.<\/p>\n
\nWe can deploy Toshiba TEC printers for printing all the labels. However Toshiba TEC printers are XML-Direct printers so that no additional middleware or server hardware is needed for label printing from Oracle WMS and MSCA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
