# tallyflow-print Review
|
||||
|
||||
**Tech Stack:** Rust (Cargo)
|
||||
|
||||
## Purpose
|
||||
Backend print service for TallyFlow Print. Handles label generation, RFID encoding, print job queuing/orchestration, and optional registration of printed assets into TallyFlow Core.
|
||||
|
||||
## Current Capabilities (post git pull - Jun 2026)
|
||||
- Label config system with templates (simple_text, simple_text_2_5x1_25, datamatrix, etc.) and field_registry
|
||||
- Parent/child label support
|
||||
- Category names on tags
|
||||
- orgsettings integration from TallyFlow
|
||||
- Printing queue with enhanced orchestration and worker logic
|
||||
- API endpoints for job submission and status
|
||||
- Windows installation scripts and release support
|
||||
- Updates to simple tag printing including RFID
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Components
|
||||
- **api**: Main API service (port 8040)
|
||||
- **orchestrator**: Proxies categories/zones and runs "print then register" flows (port 8041)
|
||||
- **printing**: Core label generation and ZPL handling
|
||||
- **worker**: Pulls jobs and sends to Zebra printers (raw TCP 9100)
|
||||
- **label_configs**: Template definitions and manifest
|
||||
- **web**: Web interface elements
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture (from USER_GUIDE)
|
||||
Operator → TallyFlow Print app → Print API → Print worker → Zebra printer
|
||||
└── (optional) Orchestrator → TallyFlow Core
|
||||
|
||||
## Relevance
|
||||
- Backend for the TallyFlow Print ingestion method (new tag assignment + optional data association)
|
||||
- Works alongside tallyflow-print-ui (Flutter frontend)
|
||||
- Supports all tag ingestion paths that involve printing/encoding

## Recent Changes (Jun 17, 2026 pull)
|
||||
**Major theme:** GS1-128 / Case Label support + FSMA204 label templates + Windows reliability
|
||||
|
||||
**Key additions:**
|
||||
- New `printing/src/gs1_trade_item.rs` for GS1 handling
|
||||
- New `docs/CUSTOM_LABEL.md` documentation
|
||||
- New FSMA204 300dpi label config + sample ZPL template
|
||||
- Support for multiple case types (0=each, 1-8=fixed qty, 9=variable)
|
||||
- GTIN-14 now treated as case label (starts with '1')
|
||||
- Bug fix: GS1-128 serial AI (21) now properly included
|
||||
- Voice pick algorithm correction (CRC-16)
|
||||
- Enhanced Windows install/bundle scripts

|
||||
## Enhancement Suggestions (from clarification - Jun 2026)
|
||||
**RFID Encoding Scope**
|
||||
- Currently limited to EPC memory bank only
|
||||
- Suggested: Add support for TID, User Memory banks
|
||||
- Suggested: Add password protection / lock bits support
|
||||
|
||||
**Serialization & Numbering**
|
||||
- Currently customer-managed via policy (different starting serials per printer instance)
|
||||
- Suggested improvement: Allow per-printer serial number **range configuration** in Settings
|
||||
- Range should **wrap around** when the end is reached
|
||||
- Local serial tracking + increment already exists
|
||||
|
||||
**Multi-Printer & Orchestration**
|
||||
- UI already supports multiple printers
|
||||
- Core returns error on duplicate asset registration attempts (good safeguard)
|
||||

## Roadmap / Integration Opportunities
|
||||
- **Mobile (Assets) integration** for Scan-and-Print workflows — Allow the mobile app to trigger print jobs (e.g., reprint, on-demand encoding during field scans or enrollment). Closes the gap between mobile asset management and the Print pillar.
|
||||
- **IoT integration** — Expose print job status/events and printer health to TallyFlow IoT for unified dashboards and alerts.
