I am currently researching the best implementation path for barcode label printing and scanning in Maximo Manage 9.1. I have been reviewing IBM’s online documentation but am looking for practical guidance from the community on the following:

  1. Label Generation & Printing: What is the recommended method in Maximo 9.1 to print barcode labels containing Item Numbers and/or Asset Numbers? (native Automation Scripts utilizing ZPL, BIRT report templates, or third-party utilities?)

  2. Scanner Integration: What configurations are required to ensure these generated barcodes are successfully recognized and parsed by standard scanners within the native Maximo Desktop framework?

Any documentation links, architecture advice, or real-world examples of how you have set this up in 9.1 would be highly appreciated!
