What Is a Peripheral Preset?
In Azumuta, a peripheral device-supported product check can be configured extensively to meet your shop floor needs. However, setting up a product check takes some time. If you have to manually set up a product check every time you would like to use it in an instructions step, it will take a large chunk of your valuable time.
What if there’s a way where you only need to set up a peripheral device-supported product check once, save this configuration, and then reuse it again in the future?
Well, peripheral presets are the answer to that. A peripheral preset is a peripheral device-supported product check configuration that has been saved and can be reused again perpetually. That way, you don’t have to manually configure it each time you would like to use it on an instruction step – saving you time in the process.
Note: Creating a peripheral present is optional. You can still use peripheral devices with Azumuta without peripheral presets.
How to Create a Peripheral Preset
Before creating a peripheral preset, make sure that you’ve integrated your DYMO Label Printer into your workspace.
With that being said, here’s how to create a peripheral preset for a DYMO label printer:
- Click Peripherals under Management.
- Click the Presets tab.
- Click the yellow plus button.
- Under the Name field, type in the peripheral preset’s name.
- Under the Hub plugin dropdown menu, select the hub plugin type that matches to your DYMO label printer type. Should you have any doubts, please contact us through our support@azumuta.com email.
- All fields under Peripheral options are the same as those in any procedure check. See procedure check configuration options for label printing for more details.
- When you’re done, click Add at the bottom of the menu.
How to Add a Peripheral Preset to a Product Check
After you’ve created the peripheral preset, you can use it on a procedure check (so you won’t have to manually configure that procedure check anymore in the future). Here’s how:

- Click the Check tab.
- Select Procedure.
- Click the dropdown menu under Peripheral group, and select the corresponding peripheral group.
