Long before advanced manufacturing and the internet of things became at one’s disposal, cab devices did far more than just printing on a label. Since the beginning, cab has been one step ahead. Introducing the ultra-versatile, customizable cab SQUIX label printers. The SQUIX printers are reliable and fast, easy to operate, have a compact design, and meet maximum quality standards. The SQUIX printers support use in a wide range of applications, including PCB labeling, type plate labeling and cardboard and pallet labeling. They have been developed with a constant focus on easy and intuitive operation as well as high reliability. Due to comprehensive peripheral equipment, the SQUIX label printers altogether tackle any task, allowing them to demonstrate their reliability in continuous operation in any working environment.

With a plethora of applications in mind, SQUIX label printers provide solutions for the home and any business, including cannabis. Ultimately when seeking solutions, there are always going to be high standards and important regulations to take into account. Emerging cannabis business owners are met with all kinds of considerations, including monitoring the supply chain and how products move from seed to sale. Having the ability to provide complete seed-to-sale traceability from cultivation to customer requires effective technologies. SQUIX label printers enable all stakeholders, including growers, manufacturers, processors, and dispensaries to meet their regulatory requirements. With METRC tag printing capabilities, SQUIX printers provide solutions for the cannabis workflow that allow cannabis operators to remain within the bounds of regulatory compliance with ease. METRC tags are used by a number of states to track products from seed-to-sale at both the internal operations and state compliance levels.

It has become evident that after installing KB5003690 or later Windows Security updates (including out of band updates, KB5004760 and KB5004945), users are having issues printing to certain printers. The issues are primarily found with receipt and label printers that connect via USB.

Printers affected include all printers running Windows 10 versions 21H1, 20H2, or 2004 and all printers running Windows Server 20H2 or 2004. Zebra printers have been impacted, as well as other brands and models.

Windows is aware of the issues affecting multiple brands of printers when printing from PCs that have been recently updated via the Windows Update Service (KB5004945, KB5004760, or KB5003690). They have found that the most common symptom is print jobs being sent, but not actually printing.

This issue is observed after users install the Windows 10 out-of-band security update KB5004945 (or previous updates, KB5004760 and KB5003690). The KB5004945 security update addresses a remote code execution exploit in the Windows Print Spooler service, known as “PrintNightmare,” documented in this article.

The following are the affected Windows 10 versions and their Update KB IDs (build numbers):

• Windows 10/Windows Server version 21H1, 20H2, 2004 – KB5004945 (Builds 19041.1083, 19042.1083, and 19043.1083), including previous updates KB5004760 (Builds 19041.1082, 19042.1082, and 19043.1082) and KB5003690 (Builds 19041.1081, 19042.1081, and 19043.1081)

Price, convenience, and speed are key trademarks when it comes to current customer expectations. However, positive customer experiences have also become a driving factor in securing customer loyalty and profitability. Studies show that shoppers can spend up to 140%¹ more after engaging in a positive shopping experience. On the flipside, negative experiences are more likely to be shared between current and prospective shoppers, impacting brand identity and decreasing sales. While expectations can vary from brand to brand, today’s customers generally anticipate…

1. Omnichannel options – Online shopping is most certainly here to stay. It is expected that as much as 70%² of shoppers in the US will be purchasing groceries online since it serves as both a convenient and safe way to shop.
2. Contactless pickup – Similar to online shopping, BOPIS and curbside pickup have also grown in popularity due to their convenience and safety.
3. Personalized experiences – Studies show that 43%³ of customers expect some sort of personalized service from stores in response to their loyalty. 

What would seamless hassle-free grocery shopping look like?

To surpass these three common expectations, Barcodes, Inc. recommends targeting the following areas within the supply chain.

• Faster shelf replenishment – Simply put, if products aren’t visible on shelves, customers can’t buy them. That’s why quick cycle counting and fast replenishment are crucial to avoid out-of-stocks. Mobile technologies such as Zebra’s touch computers and hands-free scanners can enable real-time inventory updates as associates scan products immediately during stock counts.
• Intelligent point-of-sale – The longer customers wait in line, the less likely they are to return. Faster data capture through devices like Zebra’s enterprise scanners and MP7000 scanner can help accelerate checkout while empowering self-checkout lanes and loyalty scanning.
• Quicker order picking – As associates adapt to accommodate BOPIS transactions, they must move faster and more efficiently to assemble orders within stipulated time frames. Real-time inventory locationing can help reduce pick paths, accelerating order assembly.

Download our solutions brief for more areas of optimization.

While these are optimum areas to start enhancing the grocery storefronts, there are many other ways to deliver seamless shopping experiences. Leverage Barcodes, Inc.’s expertise in developing a smoother shopping experience, equipped with user-friendly technologies that put the customer experience first.
