Zebra Control Panel

All shipping documents in MONITOR (except SIS Waybill, CRM Waybill and EDI) are printed on label printers.

Label printers used in MONITOR should have 1 MB flash memory, a resolution of 203 dpi and should manage ZPL language. The label (STE) should be 251x107 mm. You will find information about tested label printers on our website http://www.monitorerp.com/products/monitorerp/systemrecommendations/

In this procedure a Closedcontrol panel exists, where you can print layouts and configurations and also program the printers memory (PROM) with the layout of the STE-labels. You open the control panel via the Zebra control panel button under the Window functions or via the File menu. Below the different sections in the Zebra control panel are described.

Info

Here you see the Port settings that are loaded from the printer that has been selected in the Ship.label field for the current user in the Users procedure in the Global Settings procedure. The printer driver first has to be installed in Windows and then configured in the Printers procedure in MONITOR.

Which Type that is selected is decided by the global setting Type of shipping document printer, under the Shipping heading under the Sales tab in the Settings procedure.
