An exact reprint reproduces selected copies of a retained label. It preserves the original label content and its connection to the earlier run. It is not a way to recalculate old work using today's rules.
You need Supervisor. Before starting, identify the exact original run and establish what happened to its earlier copies.
Decide whether reprinting is appropriate
Use an exact reprint when the retained content is still the content you need, for example a damaged label that must be replaced. If the product, customer code, quantity or approved content must change, investigate the underlying work and configuration first.
If output is uncertain, investigate it in PrintStation before treating the copy as missing. Not finding a label is not proof that it never printed.
Review and request the copies
- Open the original accepted run from Print history or the job page.
- Check its work-order revision, stored label, units and previous attempts.
- Select only the unit/copy entries that need replacement. Check the selected count.
- Enter a clear reason identifying why those specific copies need another attempt.
- Complete the duplicate acknowledgement. Account for existing output according to your site's procedure.
- Submit the exact-reprint request and read the resulting run or review state.
For work that used an operator form, current policy may require a separate form reprint review. Follow that review as presented. Its purpose is to check the retained form evidence against current requirements while keeping the original label bytes; do not replace it by preparing a fresh, unrelated label.
Follow the new output
A reprint uses the station's available printing route. At a routed station it goes to the named destination. Use the new attempts and history to follow it, keeping the link to the original copies.
Do not interpret a reprint request or submitted attempt as physical success. Check the printer and resolve uncertainty in PrintStation where required.
If the request is refused
Read the reason and check whether the original evidence remains available, the station is qualified, a review is required or a site hold applies. Do not select extra copies or switch jobs to bypass the refusal.
If the original retained content is unavailable, escalate the case. Recreating a visually similar label is not an exact reprint and cannot replace the original evidence.
Record the handover
Give the operator the original and new run references, which copies were replaced and what should happen to the earlier labels. Your site procedure should address duplicate physical labels explicitly.
