Printing a ZPL label virtually in SAP Digital Manufacturing

[angelbryan]

Hello SAP Community.

In SAP DMC I want to print a ZPL label through production processes but I don't have any Zebra printers available at the moment. Does anyone know if there is a way to test it virtually and print a digital version?

Any help is appreciated.

Yes, you have two options.

Firstly configure the complete printing setup including the cloud printing service and the cloud print manager on a local machine. The last step of the process is to link the cloud print manager to the printer and this is where you have two options. The first option is connect it to any non zebra printer (a standard desktop printer will work) then whatever you print will come out of the standard printer. The second option is select the print to file check box and it will save whatever you print to a local PDF file instead (or as well as) the printer.

Hope this helps

Thanks

Hello Kevin, thanks for your answer.

Is there any other way to do it without using the printing service?

Best regards.

Edit: The documentation about Automatic Printing mentions that is possible to do it using Production Connector / SAP Plant Connectivity but doesn't mention a guide to do so. Do you know how to do it this way or if is it even possible?
