Defining workstations and assigning users

You must first define workstations and assign users before you can automatically print out your shipping documents such as shipping labels and loading lists on a specific printer.

Defining workstations

Proceed as follows:

• You must first define your printers: See Connecting printers.
1. From the Office, go to Master data – Workstations, then click New.
2. Enter a unique Identifier and Description.
3. Switch to the Printer assignment sheet.
4. In the Assigned printer column, select the printers of your choice for the Labelprint and Standard entries:
   – Labelprint is used for documents to be printed on thermal printers (typically: shipping labels)
   – Standard is used for documents to be printed on laser printers (typically: loading lists or shipping labels as a PDF or laser printout)
5. Click Save & close to save your changes.

Selecting workstations

The workstation you select determines which printers and barcode scanners you can access.

Proceed as follows:

1. Log in to Carrier Connect.
2. From the Office, go to User administration – Specify workstation.
3. Select the desired workstation configuration from the Workstation field.
4. Click Save & close to save your changes.

• The “No workstation has been selected” message when printing a label indicates that the active user has not yet selected a workstation.

• The browser in which the user is accessing Carrier Connect must allow the use of cookies. Otherwise, the workstation assignment will not be remembered.
