Account setup
Cloud-based printing is also referred to as PrintNode; the terms are used interchangeably here.
Cloud-based printing can be set up as the default for label printing for your entire company, your winery (if in a multi-winery setup) or individual user.
Important: Please note that you need to be a local vintrace administrator to be able to do an initial setup for the cloud print. After the initial sign, non-admin users may add the PrintNode utility to their System user profile.
To setup your cloud printer go to Winery Setup > General > System Policy and click the Cloud Print icon beside the Lab label printer field.
In the vintrace Cloud account setup screen, enter all the necessary information such as Firstname, Lastname, Email, and Password. Then click on Save button.
Important: Please note that the email and password you enter to setup the cloud print account will be the same email and password that will used to sign-in by other non-admin vintrace users in your winery to use the cloud printer.

Selecting a system wide printer

Setting up printing at the Winery, Laboratory or User levels
System is the highest level – this print service can be used by other non-admin vintrace users. Follow the instructions above.
Winery is for those clients working in a multi-winery environment. Setting Cloud print up at this level restricts usage to just that winery for that printer; other wineries in the group may set their lab printer independently.
Laboratory is used when you want to print a specific lab’s label to a specific printer.
System user is used when a user wants to specify a printer for all lab requests submitted by them.
