Check and print a label list

Review held rows before accepting a CSV for controlled delivery to a routed printer.

Review edition · 25 October 2026 · For Supervisor

On this page

A label list checks the rows of an imported file and sends accepted work to a routed PrintStation destination in controlled chunks. You need Supervisor, an eligible routed station and an active workflow that supports the file's source type.

Start and wait for checking

On Production jobs, choose the supported works-order or stores-location file and select Check every row as a label list. Submit the import and open its list.

Use Check progress to see the check advance. Checking prepares the rows; it does not mean the entire file has printed. The list shows checked labels, held rows, chunks and individual rows.

Review ready and held rows

Inspect the checked labels and their quantities. Read each held row and its reason. A duplicate or changed source row may be held even when another row is ready.

Decide whether the ready work should proceed while held rows remain. If so, acknowledge those held rows as the acceptance screen requires. Acknowledgement does not fix or print them.

Accept deliberately

The Supervisor who started the list must accept it, with a recent second factor. Another Supervisor can follow the work but cannot silently take over that acceptance.

Check the total ready work and destination before accepting. Prepared row evidence can expire or become stale. If a row has changed since checking, acceptance can hold it instead of using its earlier result.

Follow delivery

The scheduler releases whole rows in chunks. Open the list and follow its progress; individual run pages identify their list and row. A run waiting for its chunk must not be sent independently.

Failed, refused, expired or uncertain output can pause further delivery. Investigate the specific printing issue before resuming. For uncertain output, use the PrintStation procedure rather than starting the file again.

Pause, resume or stop

  • Pause: stop further list progress while you investigate or organise work.
  • Resume: continue when the blocking situation is resolved and the current state permits it.
  • Stop: withdraw work that has not been sent; it does not recall printed output or erase attempts already made.

Always inspect the resulting state. A pause or stop request is not proof that every earlier copy was prevented from printing.

Handle remaining rows

Keep held-row reasons and the original list reference when arranging corrections. Reimporting the whole file without reviewing earlier accepted work can create avoidable duplication questions. A site restore stops list work and requires the site's recovery process before further action.
