Making a standard printing

Standard printing is used for making single, manual, print jobs.

If you need to produce multiple shipments with the same sender, carrier, services etc. , we recommend creating a printing favorite so you can reuse the same settings for other cases.


Follow these steps to make a single print job using Standard printing:

  1. Go to Shipments > Standard printing in the top menu.
     
  2. Select a Sender from the sender list or enter a new sender by clicking the New tab. You can search if you have a long list of senders. 
     
  3. Select a Receiver from the sender list or enter a new sender by clicking the New tab.

  4. Select a service and click Next.
     
  5. Fill in any additional information needed in the Shipment section. Any default information saved on the Sender will already be prefilled. 
     
  6. Check any Additional services if relevant.
     
  7. Fill in any relevant information in the Parcels section. Any mandatory fields will be marked with * and the fields vary from carrier to carrier. Some carriers also have a Freight measure section where information about volume, load meter, etc. can be entered. (See the section about adding multiple parcels).
     
  8. Click Print to print immediately. This requires that the OnlinePrinter application is installed on your computer. Print PDF opens the label in a PDF viewer on the screen. You can print the PDF or download it. Alternatively, choose Store to save the shipment for later printing under Shipments > Stored printings.

Options on the Print screen

The Print button will launch the OnlinePrinter application after which you have several options:

 

  • Click Print report or Back to start a new print job if the printing went well and should be used.
     
  • Click Discard if the printing went well but should not be used.
     
  • Click Discard & print again if the printing was not successful but the problem can be solved immediately, for example, by loading labels.
     
  • Click Discard & store of the printing was not successful but the problem can be solved later, for example, if the printer is out of order.
     
  • Click Book to book at pickup if this is offered by the carrier. You can also book it later under Shipments > Booking.

 

 

Adding multiple parcels

If you have different types of parcels, for example, 2 parcels of 3 kg each and 1 parcel of 4 kg, you must enter the types separately.


Example:

  1. Set Number of parcels to "2" and Weight (kg) to "3". Click Add. A line will be added.
     
  2. Set Number of parcels to "1" and Weight (kg) to "4". Click Add. A second line will be added.

You can choose to specify parcel information per parcel or per row. All parcels in a shipment must be specified in the same way.

  • "Specified per parcel" – the weight and/or the volume are calculated per parcel (2 parcels and 3 kg equals 6 kg).
  • "Specified per row" – the weight and/or the volume is the total for the parcels (2 parcels and 3 kg equals 3 kg).

Example:

2 parcels and 3 kg, and 1 parcel and 4 kg, specified per parcel is 3 + 3 + 4 = 10

2 parcels and 3 kg, and 1 parcel and 4 kg, specified per row is 3 + 4 = 7
