System Data Courier Printer Mapping
Table Of Contents
Courier Printer Mapping allows you to route courier labels and supporting documents to specific Windows printers for individual Khaos Control users. This is useful where users work with different label or document printers.
Before setting up user-specific mappings, enable the relevant option in:
[ System Operations | Edit System Values | Couriers | General ]
For more information, see Allow printing by user.
Courier Printer Mapping fields
The main grid contains the following fields:
Courier
Select the Courier that the printer mapping applies to.
This determines which courier integration will use the printers specified for this mapping.
User
Select the Khaos Control user that the printer mapping applies to.
This allows different users to use different printers for the same courier.
Printer Name
Enter or select the Windows printer that should be used to print courier labels for this Courier and User combination.
For example, you could map a user's courier labels to a dedicated label printer.
Document Printer Name
Enter or select the Windows printer that should be used for other documents generated by the courier integration.
This allows you to use one printer for labels and a different printer for supporting documentation, such as:
- customs documents
- manifests
- other courier documentation
This is particularly useful where labels require a specialist label printer but standard courier documents need to be sent to a conventional office printer.
How printer mappings are applied
When per-user courier printer mapping is enabled, Khaos Control can use the printer configured for the relevant Courier and User combination rather than relying solely on the printer specified in the courier configuration.
This allows individual users or packing stations to have their own printing setup while working with the same courier.
