This page explains what you need to do in order to set up the label printing to work with Skrym.

Log into Scope and create a Printnode account for your organization. We suggest creating one per warehouse location.

An account name can be max 16 characters long
This is currently done on TMS > Admin page
Only admins can do this for their organization
Make sure to store your login details to Printnode as Skrym will not store this for you


Download the Printnode Client from their website.

There is a potential for us to build a "branded" version of the client if we want
They have versions for most operating systems, but we have mainly tried it with Mac


Install and open the Printnode Client

You will need to log in with the account you created in step 1
You will need to allow printnode to access keystroke events on your computer


Log into the Printnode client using the login details you entered when creating the account in step 1
Add the printer you want to use

Make sure to first connect the printer to the computer and change the name of the printer on the computer, as this will propagate to Printnode
For Mac

When adding the printer on a Mac, go to System Settings > Printers & Scanners > Add Printer/ Scanner or Fax and choose the label printer you have connected.
In the "Use" field, make sure to choose the driver needed, normally "Select software" > Zebra ZPL Driver.
You can add a printer by clicking the "Add Printer" button in the Printnode client


You can also add a printer by going to the Printnode website and adding a printer there


The printer and computer should now appear in Scope on the TMS > Admin page
Now try to make a booking and then print the label from the shipment page
If using through an external system like Ongoing, you may need to add a computer alias for the printer to enable matching the request from Ongoing to the correct printer.


- If your printer doesn't seem to print the right size for the label, you may need to explicitly set the label size for the printer output in Printnode
- To set the size, open the the Printnode client and just write the length and width in inches in the fields


Printing

Labels are retrieved and stored when a booking is made with a carrier. The labels are stored in Google Cloud Storage together with a reference to it and some metadata in the database.
You can use the following to retrieve the available labels for a booking using the external reference of the booking.
