About This Manual

This manual explains the use of the XML language with the Printronix®

SL5000r/T5000r and SL4M/T4M XML Direct printers. Use this manual with

your

SL5000r/T5000r or SL4M/T4M User’s Manual

for complete printer-

protocol operation.

XML Direct

Printronix XML Direct enabled printers come equipped with an internal XML

Forms Module. This interface software has been certified for use with Oracle

WMS and MSCA applications. This solution allows users to quickly leverage

RFID technology by connecting tagged objects with the business view of an

ERP system.

Here is a high level overview of how XML Direct works in 4 easy steps:

•The user creates the PGL formatted label template. Use XML Direct label

design software provided by Printronix or follow the examples in chapter

•The template is downloaded to the printer's permanent memory.

•The host application sends XML formatted run time data to the printer.

•The run time data is merged with the stored template, the RFID tag is

encoded and the label is printed.

Details of each of these steps are as follows:

1. Create the label format. This may be done by any of the following

methods:

(a) Use the XML Direct label design software provided by Printronix.

(b) Use commercially available XML enabled label design software.

an XML enabled PGL template. Chapter 2 also provides directions to

sample template files.

Chapter 1 XML Direct

2. Download the format to the printer. This may be done via the following

methods:

(a) Use the Format Download Utility supplied with XML Direct label

design utility. (see Chapter 4, Download Template Utility)

(b) Send the XML enabled template to the printer directly from the

operating system the same way you would any other file. For example,

from a DOS command line prompt on a parallel interface you could type

"copy/b <filename> lpt1:".

3. Host application sends XML formatted run time data to the printer. See

chapter 2 for an overview of configuring Oracle to send XML.

4. Merging run time data with the stored template - this step is performed

automatically by the XML Forms Module that is resident on the printer. If

the above steps are followed, the Printronix XML enabled printer will

encode and print RFID smart labels directly from your SAP system.

2Oracle Solution

This section discusses the full implementation of the XML printing solution for

Oracle, including an Oracle specific overview, along with instructions for

installation and configuration on the Oracle system.

Introduction

Oracle Warehouse Management (WMS), Oracle Mobile Supply Chain

Applications (MSCA), and Oracle Inventory are applications in Oracle’s

Logistics products. The Oracle WMS and MSCA applications have integrated

label-printing capabilities using XML. Oracle has created 10 XML label

formats that correspond to common transaction created by WMS and MSCA.

When printing a label, the Oracle application determines the correct label

printer and label format to use based on the data included in the request and

rule configuration. Using the format definition, the label data are extracted and

combined into a standardized XML document that is sent to the label printer.

When Oracle receives a label print request, it searches for a printer

assignment in the following sequence: User, Subinventory, Responsibility,

Application and Site level. If no printers are assigned to Label Types, no

labels can be printed.

The 10 label types available with Oracle WMS and MSCA are defined below:

LABEL TYPE DESCRIPTION

LPN License plate information

LPN Content LPN plus content information

LPN Summary Nested contents summarized

Material Item, quantity, lot, etc.

Serial Material information plus serial number

Location Subinventory & locator information

Shipping Customer & address information

Shipping Content Shipping plus material info

WIP Contents LPN plus discrete job information

Flow Contents LPN plus flow schedule

Oracle supports three modes of label printing integration: Asynchronous

mode, Synchronous PL/SQL mode, and Synchronous TCP/IP mode. Of these

three printing integration mode, the Synchronous TCP/IP mode is the easiest

and most powerful method. In this mode, print requests are sent directly to

Chapter 2

printers over a TCP/IP connection opened by Oracle. This mode does not

require any 3rd party software to be loaded in the Oracle database.

In addition to the information provided in this chapter, selected Oracle

documentation has been provided for your reference in the Manuals sub

folder:

Installation

To use the Synchronous TCP/IP mode, the printer must be setup within

Oracle. Printers are setup in the same way they are normally setup within

Oracle except you do not need printer drivers for the label printers. Setting up

printers within Oracle requires the following steps:

1. Create a Label Type (performed only once)

2. Define label print mode (performed only once)

3. Register a printer in Oracle

4. Define printer IP Address

5. Assign printer to Label Types

6. Define label formats

Create a Label Type

To use Oracle’s XML enabled label-printing capabilities, a printer type, named

Label, needs to be defined. This printer type does not have to be associated

to any styles or drivers. Only one printer type, named Label, should be

created. To create a Label Type, do the following:

1. Using the System Administrator Responsibility Role, navigate to Install >

Printer > Types.

2. Create a type called Label and enter a description.

Define Label Print Mode

To ensure that Synchronous TCP/IP mode is used for label printing, we need

to set the WMS label print mode. To specify the label print mode, do the

following:

1. Using the System Administrator Responsibility Role, navigate to Profile >

System.

2. Select the profile option named: WMS: Label Print Mode

3. In the WMS: Label Print Mode option dialog, select Synchronous –

TCP/IP.

4. Save your settings.
