How to setup Automatic Printing?
Picqer uses PrintNode to allow real time printing of picklists, packinglists and shipment labels on every printer.
Automatic printing is available from the Team plan.
When does Picqer print?
- Picklists are printed when created. For example, after closing an order or processing a backorder.
- Packingslists are printed immediately upon a picklist is closed.
- Shipping labels are printed when a shipment is created.
Usually, documents are printed within seconds. However, the speed depends on how busy Picqer, PrintNode, your computer and printer are. Taking longer than expected? This issue may occur if the computer or printer settings are not correctly set. Please ask us for help.

In Picqer, go to Settings > Automatic printing and specify which printer should print the picklists, packinglists and shipment labels. You can use multiple printers or choose to work with only one printer.
