Set up WMS Mobile to send returned shipping labels to your device’s print flow. Choose the device printer separately from your warehouse’s packing and dedicated-shipping settings. ## Before you begin Install [WMS Mobile](/articles/14700000000023-set-up-wms-mobile) and make sure the device can reach its printer. For a test pack job, prepare the required order, package template and carrier. If the account uses a dedicated ship process, complete the separate shipping job to create its label. ## Choose device printing 1. Open **More > Settings > Print settings**. 2. Turn on **Print labels from this device** if this device should print returned pack labels. 3. On iOS, tap **Select printer** and choose the required AirPrint printer. Other supported devices use their operating-system print flow. 4. Leave device printing off when you only need label creation without printing from this device. Device printing is unavailable while the account uses **Dedicated Ship Process**. Finish the separate shipping job through an enabled mobile or web shipping workflow. ## Make non-AirPrint printers available on iOS WMS Mobile uses the iOS system print flow. Turn on **Print labels from this device** under **More > Settings > Print settings**, then tap **Select printer** to choose an AirPrint printer available to the iPad. If your label printers do not support AirPrint, a third-party bridge can make printers connected to a Windows PC or Mac available to iPads on the same network. This lets each iPad user select the required shared printer in WMS Mobile. ### Share printers from a Windows PC [PrintBridge](https://printbridgeair.com/) can share one or more printers installed on a Windows PC. Before you start, make sure the Windows PC meets PrintBridge's system requirements, can already print to each label printer, and is connected to the same local network as the iPads. Keep the PC powered on and awake so PrintBridge and its shared printers remain available. 1. Download and install PrintBridge on the Windows PC. 2. Open the PrintBridge Admin panel. 3. Select the printers you want to share, then select **Save & Apply**. 4. On the iPad, open **More > Settings > Print settings** in WMS Mobile. 5. Enable **Print labels from this device**, then tap **Select printer**. 6. Select the shared printer required for that device and print a test label. ### Share printers from a Mac [Printer Bridge](https://www.generouscorp.com/printer-bridge/) can share one or more printers configured on a compatible Mac. Before you start, make sure the Mac meets Printer Bridge's system requirements, can already print to each label printer, and is connected to the same local network as the iPads. The Mac must remain awake for its shared printers to stay available. 1. Download and install Printer Bridge on the Mac. 2. Open Printer Bridge and enable each printer you want to share. 3. Keep the Mac awake and connected to the local network. 4. On the iPad, open **More > Settings > Print settings** in WMS Mobile. 5. Enable **Print labels from this device**, then tap **Select printer**. 6. Select the shared printer required for that device and print a test label. :::important PrintBridge and Printer Bridge are not developed, provided, or supported by Starshipit. Review each vendor's current requirements, security information, pricing, and support options before installing either product. ::: ## Verify mobile printing Before processing live orders, complete one test pack job: 1. If this device should print, open **More > Settings > Print settings** and enable **Print labels from this device**. 2. On iOS, select the expected AirPrint printer. On other supported devices, confirm the printer is available in the operating-system print flow. 3. Complete the test pack job and confirm the label reaches the expected printer at the correct size. If device printing is off, confirm that WMS Mobile creates the label without opening the device print flow. Accounts using the dedicated ship process create a separate ship job instead; printing happens when that job is completed. WMS Mobile uses direct device printing and does not use Pick & Pack's Desktop App/Print Client fallback. See [how Starshipit printing works](/articles/90200000000155-understand-how-starshipit-printing-works) for the differences between printing routes. ## Troubleshoot a missing label Check whether the shipment and tracking number already exist before retrying label creation. If they exist and only printing failed, reprint the existing label from desktop WMS.
