Pacejet

Setting up workstations and printers within Pacejet

Overview

These are the steps to add printers to Pacejet for use, as well as get them tied into your Workstations to allow them to be used for automatic printing of documents once an order is processed.

Steps for Printer Setup

  1. From the menu, click List, and then click Print Connectors to see the list of print connectors that are running, and their shared printers.

  2. Copy the printer path for one of the printers being shared from the print connector.
    If there is more than one printer being shared, they will all be listed and separated with a comma.

  3. From the main menu, click Setup, and then click Workstations, Printers & Scales.

  4. Click the All Printers tab and select the Add Printer button at the bottom of the page.

  5. Paste the printer path you copied into the Network Path field, making sure there are no extra spaces or commas.

  6. Enter a printer description, the paper size, and the document type.

  7. Click Save.
    You     should now see the printer listed for use for reprints and reports.


Steps for Workstation Setup


Now that the printer is added, you should be able to use it to setup workstations.


  1. From the main menu, click Setup, and then click Workstations Printers & Scales.

  2. Verify that you are on the All Workstations tab.

    • If you are creating a new workstation, simply select Add Workstation at the bottom of the page, and make sure a name and area are set.

    • If you are updating printers for an existing workstation, simply select the workstation from the list.

  3. Once the workstation is selected, it will have its own tabs listed, and we will want to select the "Printers" tab

    • From here, you can then find the printer key you wish to set the printer for, and then select the proper printer from the drop down menu.

    • After printers are set, simply hit save at the bottom of the page to save changes.

Generally speaking, you will want to use your ZPL label printer for any labels, and a PDF printer for any of the full-size documents like the Bill of Lading or Commercial Invoice.

After the workstation is setup, you should be able to select it from the login page, or from the upper right-hand corner of the rate and ship page when processing an order. The workstation selection is what determines where documents print and can be changed at any time before the ship button is selected.
