Automated printing

Scan to Ship can be configured to automatically print documents or labels at certain points in the shipping workflow. For example, this feature can be used for:

• Printing a paper invoice after starting to pick the order.
• Printing a packing slip after packing.
• Printing an instruction document for a particular product.
• Printing warning labels for hazardous products.
• Printing a generic address label for the order just packed.
• Printing a courier company’s shipping label for the order just fulfilled.

The documents or labels will be sent to the printer automatically through the Printer Connect desktop application. This means that the user will not need to manually print the document. The user can continue scannin g and shipping within Scan to Ship while the document is being printed.
