Asset Tagging

Each asset in the system has a unique identifier that is retained throughout the life cycle of the asset.

The identifier consists of a sequence of letters and numbers, 38 characters in length, and is displayed as follows:

a=a407e548-e408-43a8-ab51-7bde5309fd61

Using this identifier, you can generate:

• A label to mark the asset
• Store the identifier on an NFC tag, which can be attached to the asset as a sticker or keychain

The label is 58x30mm in size and contains the following information:

• Unique identifier in the form of a QR code
• Asset ID – a unique value
• Asset type
• Asset name or vendor and model

Printing the Asset Label

There are two ways to print an asset label:

1. Using the operating system’s print subsystem (printing on a regular printer or label printer)
2. Using the label printer’s command system

It is recommended to use specialized label printers for printing labels.

To print an asset label, go to the asset’s profile and click the print button, choosing one of the options:

• 58x30mm label PDF – for printing on a regular or label printer in 58x30mm format
• A4 label PDF – for printing on a printer in A4 format
• TSC Printer – direct printing on a TSC printer using the command system
• G-Printer – direct printing on a Gainscha Gprint printer using the command system

For the first two options, a PDF document containing the label for marking will be generated. This document can be printed on any office or label printer using the operating system’s print subsystem.

When printing, make sure to check the selected printer and print settings:

• Orientation – portrait
• Paper size – 58x30mm

If the required paper size is missing, it must be configured beforehand.

For the last two options, UNIO24 will send the command system to the label printer connected via USB, using your browser.

Setting up Label Format for a Label Printer in Windows OS

To configure the necessary 58x30mm format for the label printer, follow these steps:

1. Go to printer settings in the operating system
2. Select the label printer
3. Choose Printing Preferences

4. In the window that opens, create a new paper size

5. Specify the paper parameters (58mm width, 30mm height). All other parameters should be 0. Name the format 58x30 and save.

6. In the printer settings window, be sure to select the paper size as the default and save the settings.

Direct Printing on a Label Printer

UNIO24 supports direct printing on specialized label printers.

Note

The direct printing technology in UNIO24 uses the WebUSB API in modern browsers, but this technology is experimental, so it may not work or may require additional setup in some versions of Windows.

If you encounter issues, contact our support team.

Currently, the WebUSB API is supported by the following browsers:

Note

If you receive an “Access denied” error when trying to print, you need to replace the installed Windows driver with WinUSB using the zadig utility.

Note

If the label printer does not print Cyrillic characters, the printer needs to be configured or flashed.

Currently, we support thermal transfer printers from TSC with TSPL/TSPL2 printer language support and from Gainscha with EPL/EPL2 printer language support.

Tested models:

• TSC TTP-244 Pro
• TSC TTP-247
• TSC TTP-345
• Gainscha Gprint 2406T

We recommend using polypropylene labels sized 58x30mm for high-quality asset labeling.

If you are using label printers from other manufacturers, we are open to discussing their integration into the UNIO24 system.

Contact us via the feedback form on our website or email us at email.

Label Printer Setup

If your label printer does not print Cyrillic characters, it needs to be configured or flashed.

WARNING

It is recommended to consult a specialized service center or the printer vendor for these actions.

Configuring Cyrillic Support for TSC TTP Printers

To configure Cyrillic support, set the printer’s code page to UTF-8. Use the TSC Console utility (bundled with the printer or available from the official website), connect to the printer, and follow the steps shown in the image.

Configuring Cyrillic Support for Gainscha Gprint 2406T Printers

To configure Cyrillic support, you will need:

• A printer firmware update utility
• A printer service management utility
• A firmware version that supports font loading
• A Cyrillic font

Update the printer firmware to support Cyrillic font loading

Note

Your printer firmware may already support font loading, so you can skip this step if needed.

Launch the Firmware Tool v2.3.12(r).exe utility.

1. Select the printer
2. Read the printer information
3. Select the firmware file with the .gdac extension
4. Start the firmware update and wait for it to complete

Uploading Cyrillic Fonts to the Printer

Launch the PrinterUtility v3.2.63(b).exe utility.

1. Connect to the printer
2. Follow the steps shown in the image

Steps 1-5 in the image are the process for uploading the font to the printer. Steps 6-8 verify the correct font upload.
