Mobile App Inventory: Print Package Labels

Print Package Labels from the Flourish Mobile App

Purpose: This article is for teams printing package labels straight from the Flourish Android app to a Zebra label printer over Bluetooth or the facility network — no trip back to a workstation.

Before you start:

• Bluetooth printers must be paired with the device first in Android's Bluetooth settings.
• Network printers must be set up for your facility in the web app with their IP address. [VERIFY: settings path]
• Printing uses your facility's ZPL label templates — the same templates as the web app.

Where you can print from:

• A package's detail screen → Print Labels
• Multiple packages at once — scan them into the inventory action queue and choose Print Labels
• Right after creating packages (create, split, convert, combine, or take lab sample) — the app asks "Print a label for the new package?" — tap Print or Not Now
• The harvest Package Weights success screen → Print Labels
• An inbound transfer's receive screen, once packages are received → Print Labels

Steps:

1. Choose what to print
   • Pick the Label Type: Package Label or Unit Barcode.
   • Pick the Label Template — Facility default uses your facility's default template for that type.
   • Set the number of Copies.
2. Select the printer
   • Tap the printer card (Tap to select printer). The first time, allow the Bluetooth permission when prompted.
   • The Select Printer list shows your facility's network label printers and nearby paired Bluetooth printers. If your printer isn't listed, tap Show all devices….
3. Print

   Tap Print. You'll see "Labels sent to printer." The app remembers your printer choice for next time.

Troubleshooting:

• "No printers found" — pair the Bluetooth printer in Android Settings, or check that the network printer is configured for your facility with an IP address.
• "Could not connect to printer" — make sure the printer is powered on and in range (Bluetooth) or reachable on the network; the app waits up to 20 seconds.
• "Bluetooth is off" — turn on Bluetooth, or pick a network printer instead.
• "This template is not a ZPL template and can't be printed from the device" — that template is image-based; choose a ZPL template or print it from the web app.
• "This printer is paired over Bluetooth LE, which the app can't print to" — re-pair the printer over Bluetooth Classic in Android Settings, or use its network address.
