The SafetyStratus Chemical Management System (CMS) supports Zebra Label Printers for printing barcodes and container labels directly from your chemical inventory, streamlining container labelling for faster tracking, regulatory compliance, and consistent reporting across your organisation.
1. Printing a container label
To generate a barcode label for a specific container without leaving the Chemical Inventory interface, follow these steps:
- Open Chemical Inventory, use default view or search and filter to locate your container.
- Click the ellipses menu, next to the container.
- Select Create Label.
A printable barcode label will be generated based on your configuration settings.
2. Installing printer requirements
Note: SafetyStratus does not supply Zebra printers or provide direct hardware support. Contact Zebra Technical Support for setup or troubleshooting.
Zebra Browser Print must be installed on any computer directly connected to the printer.
