Peripheral Presets for a DYMO Label Printer

What Is a Peripheral Preset? #

In Azumuta, a peripheral device-supported product check can be configured extensively to meet your shop floor needs. However, setting up a product check takes some time. If you have to manually set up a product check every time you would like to use it in an instructions step, it will take a large chunk of your valuable time.

What if there’s a way where you only need to set up a peripheral device-supported product check once, save this configuration, and then reuse it again in the future?

Well, peripheral presets are the answer to that. A peripheral preset is a peripheral device-supported product check configuration that has been saved and can be reused again perpetually. That way, you don’t have to manually configure it each time you would like to use it on an instruction step – saving you time in the process.

 

Note: Creating a peripheral present is optional. You can still use peripheral devices with Azumuta without peripheral presets.
