In the Orders/Shipments list, red and green indicators may be displayed at far left for certain line items. See the graphic below for explanations of the indicators.

Copy Data/Information with One Click

The small, green copy icon (highlighted in the graphics, below) is displayed next to certain data or information. A copy link may also be available. To copy the data or information to Windows Clipboard, click the green copy icon or copy link. You can then paste the information elsewhere.

Use a Thermal Printer

You can acquire a new thermal printer (e.g., ZP450 or ZP500) through eBay for around $200-250+, delivered. Thermal printers provide several advantages:

• The labels pop out super-fast with no warmup time.

• No ink or toner needed.

• The printer almost never jams.

• The printer can be used on MS Windows™ and Mac™.

• The printer can be set up on one station. All other stations can print to that printer (including from home or a tablet).

Acquire a Scale

Scales accelerate your work. Acquire a scale that connects to your PC or Mac and will read directly from the scale, automatically. See scale for additional information.

Use Bar Code Scanners

Eliminate many computer keystrokes by using a bar code scanner.

Tag Shipments to Create Groups (Batches) of Shipments

You can tag pending Shipments to create groups (or batches) of Shipments in order to simplify your work. Later, you can view the Shipments based on the tag and then process the Shipments. See Tagging Shipments for additional details.
