Overview
The system allows for remote printers to be managed.This option will help users create and manage default printers per location, per carrier. There will also be an option to select the printer when printing a document in the Order Summary, Truck Summary and Shipping tabs.
This only applies to companies that have the remote printing component installed.To add a new printer for your Carrier:
- Go to Setup > Settings > Under Shipping, click on Manage Remote Printers.
The system will display a window named Manage Remote Printers, click on the "Add a new printer" link.
When entering the name of the printer, please make sure it matches the exact name on your computer when the printer was installed.
- Type in the information requested for the new printer, the document type and select a specific carrier if needed. There is also the option to select the printer as default. Enabling the default option, upon confirmation of an invoice order, the system will automatically use the printer based on the location, carrier and document type being printed.
- Click Save.
The printer information will need to be updated for each document type. You can setup different default printers as long as they have a different Carrier Name and Document Type selected. If a remote printer is created with the same Docuement Type, Location and Default, the default for the existing remote printer will be removed automatically.
