How can I print shipping labels to an alternate device when using FileMaker Pro?

You can adjust the output label type by setting the Ship::LabelType value to one of the following settings in your scripts.

  • Laser - If you will be outputting the label to a laser printer
  • Thermal - For a standard 4x6 thermal label (Zebra or Eltron)
  • Thermal DocTab - For a 4x6 thermal label (Zebra or Eltron) with 4x2 DocTab information

Note that labels are device dependent - if shipped with a Thermal LabelType then the label can only be printed to a thermal device and vice versa. In order to change the output after shipment you would need to void the shipment, change the LabelType vaue and then re-ship.
