Available for users with Administrator, Operator, and Supervisor roles only. Here you can specify workstations (packing stations). There is no need to use this function only for one workstation or if you are using PrintNode with only one set of printers.
iPacky Dashboard→Tools→Workstations
At the startup of iPacky, a drop-down list with registered workstations will be shown for selection.
This makes it possible to identify which workstation has checked the order and also to connect to the right printer (if PrintNode is connected). This information will also be shown in the order details in Dashboard reports.
To add a Workstation, fill in the fields in the Add workstation section, and click on the + button. To delete a workstation, click on the X button. It’s highly recommended to re-use a workstation listed if it is replaced by a new one. There is no need to change the workstation if new hardware is used.
The printers will only be visible if the PrintNode connector is set up.
NOTE: remember to add the workstation, and then click Save.
Field | Explanation |
|---|---|
Name | Free text name to identify the workstation. Don't use a whole sentence to name the workstation. One word is usually enough. |
Description | A longer description of this workstation. For example type or location. This will only be visible here. |
Order tags | Specify the tags that will be set on the order (if any). This makes it possible to see what workstation was used in the order list in Shopify admin. Regardless of order tags the workstation will always be recorded internally in iPacky to be visible on order details in Dashboard reports. Separate tags with comma. |
Label printer | Only applicable and visible if PrintNode is connected. Select from the drop-down list the printer that will be used on this workstation. If a printer is not listed here, please check the PrintNode setup. |
Scale to fit label | Usually on. It will stretch the shipping label to fit the label of the label printer |
Printer for packing slip | This is the printer that will be used when automatically print packing slips, and if selecting Packing slips with PrintNode in the Packing lists/Packing slips screen. |
Packing slip page size | Select the page size for picking slips. It can be A4/Letter or 102x152mm/4x6in (Shipping label). This last one makes it possible to print out on smaller media, like the shipping label size. Make sure that you're not using the wrong page size. It will scale to the format selected on the printer. |
Small address label printer | The printer to use for small address labels, NOT shipping labels. This is usually not used. Only when printing out address labels for shipments with stamps. |
Print small address label after order check | Prints the small address label after order check automatically. This is usually not used. Only when printing out address labels for shipments with stamps. |
