Oracle & XML Printing

XML printing using SATO printers

Traditionally, middleware is required to store data in an acceptable format in its database. However, large-scale database systems, such as Oracle Warehouse Management System (WMS), SAP, and other custom applications, can now store information in XML format.

By using XML Printing with SATO printers, users can print labels directly via any database system without the need for additional print server hardware or middleware applications.

An Introduction to XML Printing

Using information in XML format offers more flexibility because it can directly integrate with various systems. Unlike other markup languages such as HTML, XML is not limited to preset tags, allowing for greater flexibility. In practical terms, XML enables each vendor in a specific industry to create its own set of tags tailored to that industry without sacrificing compatibility.

In the traditional approach, comparing stored information requires third-party software, typically middleware, to store the data in an acceptable format in the database. However, large-scale database systems such as Oracle Warehouse Management System (WMS), SAP, and other custom applications can now store information in XML format.

  • Direct printing without additional investment

    Perform direct printing with any database system without additional print server hardware and middleware applications.

  • Reduce cost and save time

    Achieve an overall printing system infrastructure that saves time, improves efficiency and reduces unnecessary costs that would have otherwise been used to develop middleware applications.

  • Integration with any ERP system that can generate XML format file

    Print labels from ERP systems such as Oracle Warehouse Management System (WMS), SAP or any other custom application which can generate label information in XML format.

HOW IT WORKS

Oracle WMS Integration

SATO XML-enabled NX-Series printers can parse XML output into barcode output format and print directly from Oracle’s WMS and MSCA.
