How to Print Labels with EPASS WMS

EPASS Support

The Label Printing option is only available while receiving items in EPASS WMS.

How Label Printing Works

The label printing process follows these four steps:

• During receiving on the EPASS WMS scanner, you will be prompted whether to print a label.
• Selecting Yes does not trigger an immediate print — it queues the item in the label file.
• After all items are received, open EPASS to access and print the queued labels.

This process is designed specifically for item receiving workflows. Many items already contain manufacturer barcodes for scanning during receiving, but companies may still want to print their own internal labels afterward.

Label Printer Setup

No printer configuration is required in EPASS WMS. Label printers — including Zebra printers — are configured through EPASS Terminal Settings. Any compatible label printer can be used.

Setup:

File > Terminal Settings > Printers Tab

1. Select the label format ‘Item Labels” in Label 1
2. Select the desired printer in Label 1 Printer
3. Click OK to save the settings

Important Notes

• Labels cannot be printed directly from the EPASS WMS scanner
• Label printing is managed through EPASS
• Any compatible label printer (including Zebra printers) can be configured in EPASS Terminal Settings
• EPASS WMS Print is a separate feature used only for printing reports from the scanner. It is not used for item label printing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can we set up a Zebra label printer to print directly from the WMS scanner?

A: No printer setup is needed in WMS. Label printing works from EPASS, not the scanner. You can use any label printer — including Zebra — and configure it in Terminal Settings in EPASS. Selecting Yes on the scanner adds items to the label queue; you then print from EPASS after receiving is complete.

Q: Can we use WMS Print for item label printing?

A: No. WMS Print is for printing reports from the scanner only. Item label printing works through the label queue — select Yes on the scanner during receiving, then print the queued labels from EPASS. These are two separate functions and should not be confused.
