Introduction
Oracle Warehouse Management (WMS), Oracle Mobile Supply Chain
Applications (MSCA), and Oracle Inventory are applications in Oracle’s
Logistics products. The Oracle WMS and MSCA applications have integrated
label-printing capabilities using XML. Oracle has created 10 XML label
formats that correspond to common transaction created by WMS and MSCA.
When printing a label, the Oracle application determines the correct label
printer and label format to use based on the data included in the request and
rule configuration. Using the format definition, the label data are extracted and
combined into a standardized XML document that is sent to the label printer.

Application and Site level. If no printers are assigned to Label Types, no
labels can be printed.

The 10 label types available with Oracle WMS and MSCA are defined below:

Oracle supports three modes of label printing integration: Asynchronous
mode, Synchronous PL/SQL mode, and Synchronous TCP/IP mode. Of these
three printing integration mode, the Synchronous TCP/IP mode is the easiest
and most powerful method. In this mode, print requests are sent directly to
mode, Synchronous PL/SQL mode, and Synchronous TCP/IP mode. Of these

and most powerful method. In this mode, print requests are sent directly to
