Enabling Label Printing

Before Harvest Webstation users can print labels, Harvest must be configured to allow Harvest Webstation users to print labels and to determine what label printer to use, how many labels to print, what information to print on the labels, etc. This is done in Harvest by modifying the Preferences for Harvest Webstation users. See the Harvest online help for additional information.

Once Harvest Webstation has been set up in Harvest to print labels, you must download and install label printing on the workstation that runs Harvest Webstation. If you do not do so, you will not be able to print labels.

You must complete the following steps to install label printing for Harvest Webstation. You may want to print these instructions to use as a reference before continuing.
