    Is anyone using a bar code printer that isn't on the list of Lawson recommended ones, successfully with RAD?

    The reason I ask is because we have a Datamax i series that was leftover from another implementation that we were hoping to be able to use for RAD. However, initial testing hasn't proved to be successful for us. We just can't seem to get connectivity to the device from within MSCM. If there is no way it will work, then I'll just have to put in a request for a Zebra supported model, but would love to save the funds if possible.

      For MSCM, you need to configure all of the printers on the MSCM Windows server. Have you done that?
      We've had to use a little trick to the system and added the hostname for the printers to the Windows hosts file in the past, as we couldn't configure west.printers.genesishealth.com as the printer name. MSCM needs it to just be west (in this case).
      I can step you through if you need more info.

          I don't have a "list". But we are using a Zebra S4M printer throughout the hospitals to print the labels. I think that they use a thermal label stock too, but it's been a while since I set one up, so I can't be sure without some digging.
