Scale Your Business with AI-centric,
Agile Cloud Printing
Connect your Business Central to any printer, anywhere.
Your Printing Process Doesn't Work the Way It Should.
Printing delays can slow down operations, disrupt shipments, and increase manual effort across teams. Businesses can lose up to 5% of productivity annually due to inefficient printing workflows and disconnected systems.
Users download PDFs just to print documents because direct printing isn't configured.
Warehouse teams wait on office staff to print labels or reports.
Documents may print to the wrong printer or fail to print altogether.
Printers are manually set up on each device, leading to errors and inconsistencies.
Managing printers across multiple locations becomes an ongoing IT challenge.
From Click to Controlled Print, Here's How VLC PrintNode Works
VLC PrintNode streamlines printing from request to execution, ensuring every document prints accurately and securely. Track, manage, and control print jobs across your network with ease and confidence.
Standard Print Action Triggered in Business Central
A user clicks "Print" inside Business Central—whether it's a Purchase Order, Sales Invoice, Production Order, or Label. The experience doesn't change, but behind the scenes, PrintNode intercepts the request for secure handling.

Print Job Capture and Structuring
The intercepted print request is converted into a structured print job packet. It includes:
This ensures every print is treated as a controlled system event rather than a raw OS-level print action.
Print job structure — metadata fields populated in real time
Rule-Based Printer Routing
PrintNode evaluates routing rules to determine the correct output destination. Routing logic includes:
The system automatically assigns the correct printer without user selection.
Routing engine — decision tree from PrintNode → Office, Warehouse, Production Floor
Template Resolution and Standardization
Before execution, PrintNode applies the correct document template. Examples:
This ensures all printed outputs follow standardized formats across the organization.
Template selection — Invoice, Label, Job Card dynamically resolved
Secure Print Execution to Device
The finalized print job is sent to the assigned printer. Supported outputs:
PrintNode manages device communication and ensures consistent execution across environments.

Automatic Audit Logging and Trace Capture
Every print event is automatically logged inside Business Central. Captured data:
No manual logging is required.
Audit log — print history with user, document, printer, time, and transaction ID
Reprint and Traceability Control
Each print job is assigned a unique transaction ID. This enables:
Reprints follow the same routing, template, and logging rules.
