Defining Printer Settings

The TrueCommerce Labeling Utility gives you the option of defining up to four printers (laser or thermal) for use when printing labels. To define printers: Open the Labeling Utility by clicking Start | All Programs | True Commerce | TrueCommerce Labeling Utility | Launch TrueCommerce Labeling Utility.

To define printer settings in the TrueCommerce Labeling Utility:

  1. Click Tools and then select Printer Settings.

By selecting the default option, this printer will be used when you click the Print to Default Printer button.  

NOTE

Only one printer can be set as the default.  See Printing Labels for more information.

  1. Click the Available Printers menu to select any printer installed on your computer.

By default, the Printer Name is Printer1, Printer2, etc.  You can change this name to something more descriptive.

By default the Printer ID numbers are 1-4.  You can modify these numbers as needed.

  1. By selecting the Active option, you can make any of your defined printers active or inactive.

The TrueCommerce Labeling Utility gives you the option of setting a default “Ship From” address for each printer. If the Ship From Name and Address is not setup on the Trading Partner, the Ship From Name and Address setup within Transaction Manager for the printer will print on the label.

  1. Repeat the above steps for each printer you wish to define.

NOTE

Thermal printers and Laser printers can both be used with the TrueCommerce Labeling Utility, but certain modifications need to be made to the directory structure. If you are using a thermal and a laser printer, please contact TrueCommerce Professional Services for instructions.
