Fraktjakt's Print Assistant

Print Assistant, our premium service for automatic printing

With Print Assistant, you speed up and secure the handling of your shipping documents.

Instead of manually clicking and printing the shipping documents, everything happens automatically - directly to the right printer, linked to the right package.

Faster handling with automatic printing

Print Assistant acts as a local print server for each user. It connects your order flow with your printers and ensures that the right document is printed in the right format to the right printer. You decide how prints are handled, regardless of whether you have a single computer or multiple packing stations.

  • Shipping labels can be printed directly when they are created
  • Shipping slips are printed to the right printer depending on the document format
  • Everything happens without manual handing
The result is a faster, smoother and more reliable workflow.

Right document to the right printer

With Print Assistant, you can configure exactly how your prints are handled.

  • Shipping labels are automatically sent to a dedicated label printer
  • A4 documents such as packing slips and customs documents are printed on a regular paper printer
  • Each packing station can have its own printer and settings
It eliminates mix-ups and saves valuable time in daily work.

Support for different workflows

Print Assistant supports several different workflows depending on how your business works
  • Automatically print all shipping documents directly
  • Automatically print just your pick lists
  • No automatic printing at all, so each user can decide when their printing happens.

Efficient picking & packing with barcode

Print Assistant supports a structured workflow where you can separate picking and unpicking, by setting up so that only your picking lists are printed automatically:
  1. The packing stations get printouts of their pick lists
  2. The goods are picked and packed according to the instructions on the picking list
  3. When packing is ready, the barcode on the picking list is scanned
  4. The picker gets all the associated shipping documents directly to his printer
This ensures that the right goods are packed and also minimizes the risk of mixing up shipping documents, as the printouts are linked to the right packages while increasing the pace.

You get a complete overview of all your prints.

Scalable for the entire business

Regardless of whether you have one or more packing stations, Print Assistant can be adapted to your organization.
  • Install per computer / packing station
  • Connect different printers to different print roles (labels and other documents) as well as print formats
  • Scale up easily without increasing either administration or cost
It makes the solution just as effective in smaller warehouses as in larger logistics flows.

FAQ about printing of shipping labels

How do I set up a barcode scanner

Most hand scanners work with Fraktjakt, provided they are set to HID mode. In HID mode, the scanner works like a regular keyboard and sends the scanned information directly to the computer. HID mode is the default on most hand scanners. If you are unsure, you can read in the scanner's manual how to check or change the setting.

Test that the scanner is working
The easiest way to check that the scanner is connected correctly is to: Open a text program, such as Notes, Notepad or Word, and scan a barcode. If the barcode content is displayed as text in the document, the scanner is correctly installed and ready to use with Fraktjakt.

Fraktjakt supports two different printing formats for regular printers. Printing on regular A4-sized paper and printing on shipping labels on A4 sheets.

Wrong print size?

If you experience problems with the size of the prints, then you should first check that you entered the correct print format in Fraktjakt before you created the shipment. This setting should correspond to the dimensions of the paper format you intend to use. You can not change the print type retroactively on already purchased shipments.

You may also need to change the printer settings on your computer.

How do I setup a label printer?

You print shipping labels cheaper and more easy with a label printer.
We recommend the label printers TSC DA210/DA220 and Zebra GK420D.

What is a shipping label?
Print the shipping labels using a label printers or on plain white A4 paper and then tape them to the top of the package. Also remove any old shipping labels from the packages.

Barcodes and the QR codes on the label are extra important for the transporters' sorting machines to be able to handle the goods correctly.

Make sure that the label is completely visible on one side and does not cover any seams. Also remove any old shipping labels from the packages.

What is a waybill?
A waybill is a document that contains details and instructions on the transport of a shipment. Unlike a shipping label, the waybill is placed in a plastic pocket.

It should not be confused with a manifest which is a receipt that the carrier has received the goods.

Print the waybills on a plain white A4 paper, which should be put in a transparent pouch attached to the package.

What does CMR mean?
CMR stands for Convention relative au contrat de transport international de marchandises par route. It is an international convention that regulates the international transport of goods by road. The convention subjects the carrier to mandatory liability for the goods they transport, but the sender is also subject to certain mandatory obligations. The convention was adopted in Geneva by the United Nations on May 19, 1956 and applies in all Nordic and European countries. The convention is therefore of great importance for the design of liability for damage to goods during road transport.

What is a manifest?
A manifest is a summary of all goods included in a shipment. It serves as a receipt that the carrier has received the goods.

Fraktjakt automatically creates manifests in duplicate. A copy signed by the carrier to confirm collection of the goods and a copy that the carrier can keep.

You can disable the creation of manifests in your print settings if you create your own manifests, but avoid sending goods without using manifests.

These documents are important for you to be able to prove the shipment if the goods should disappear. Be sure to get the driver's signature on the manifest. It is your receipt that the carrier has received your shipping and is required for you to be able to reclaim the shipping.

What is a pick list?
A pick list is a document that is primarily for the sender to check off what is to be packed up and what belongs to a shipment.

Our pick list also contain a QR code that can be scanned with a regular mobile phone to quickly access all shipping documents that belong to the same shipment and then also print the documents that belong to the package when the package is ready. When the shipment is set as sent, the link no longer shows the shipping documents but a delivery notification, reference text and your message to the customer.

Fraktjakt can automatically create pick lists for your shipments. If you do not wish to use Fraktjakt's pick lists, you can deactivate these documents under your print settings.

What is a delivery note?
A delivery note is a document for the recipient that specifies what the goods contain. When the recipient opens the goods, they can make a reconciliation with the delivery note.

Fraktjakt can automatically create delivery notes for your shipments. If you do not wish to use Fraktjakt's delivery notes, you can deactivate these documents under your print settings.

What is a Commercial Invoice?

Correct and complete information on a commercial invoice is very important to get fast and problem-free customs processing. Most shipping companies require a commercial invoice in three copies, all individually signed. Two copies, you put a place pocket attached to the outside of the goods and a copy that you put inside the goods.

However, it is still your responsibility to check that the information is correct and if any information is missing.
