Scan to open and print

Overview

• The Print order and Open to order details function are designed to streamline your order fulfillment process and minimize errors. 
• The Open to order details function allows you to quickly locate and edit orders before printing. 
• The Print order function allows you to automatically print labels based on the order number input. This option supports printing orders from across all your eShip accounts.
• You can set direct printing up using the Print Client, which sends labels directly to your printer for added convenience.

These require a barcode scanner and a packing slip with a barcoded order number. You can use many different types of scanners. We recommend you use something similar to the LS2208 General Purpose Barcode Scanner.

Workflow

1. Generate a Packing Slip
   A packing slip with a barcoded order number is required for the scan to utilise the printer order function. You can generate packing slips in eShipby going to Orders, selecting the New tab, selecting the orders you want to generate packing slips for, clicking Print, and selecting Print Packing Slips.
2. Scan the Packing Slip
   After picking and packing your items, go to Quick Print and scan the barcode on the packing slip. This will initiate the Print order or Open to order details function, depending on your configuration.
3. Select your scan option
   1. Print Order Directly: The shipping label is printed immediately when a matching order is found.
   2. Open to Order Details: When a matching order is found, the order details page is opened and you can make any necessary changes before printing the shipping label.
4. Scan your barcode

Additional notes

• If you use pre-paid labels with QR codes instead of barcodes, you will need a scanner that supports scanning QR codes.
