Transaction Manager offers you the ability to print your labels either through the Standard Print or the Asynchronous Print. While using the Standard Print option will generate and display your labels for you immediately it prevents you from being able to perform other duties while those labels are generated.

By utilizing the Asynchronous (Async) Print the generation of the labels are done in the background allowing you to freely navigate and perform other operations (such as Import/Export) within Transaction Manager while the system completes the task for you behind the scenes.

Selecting your Transactions

You'll need to select the Transactions you wish to Print Labels for. You can select them one at a time or in batches.

Navigate: Transactions → Outbox

Select: Transactions

You can select multiple transactions within Transaction Manager by either holding down Ctrl on your keyboard and selecting each individually one at a time

or by selecting the first Transaction and then holding down Shift and selecting the last in a list to select everything in between

Initiating an Asynchronous Print

Performing an Asynchronous Print will run your prints in the background allowing you to continue using Transaction Manager - as such you'll be prompted to create an Async Event which can be given a custom name to be referred to later when you need to print your labels.

Select: Print → Labels → Asynchronous Labels

Naming the Event

Once you select the Asynchronous Labels button you will be prompted with a popup box asking you for a name for your event - entering this will make it easier to find them to print the labels afterwards

Enter: Async Event Name

Select: Start Event

The name provided here will be displayed within the Asynchronous Events screen where you'll print the labels after the event has completed

Selecting your Labels

You'll be prompted to select which labels you wish to print - you can use the checkbox on the left hand side of the transaction's list to select/unselect labels prior to initiating the Print

Select: Labels (all selected by default)

Set: Ship From Location (otherwise will use default)

Select: Print

Print Notification

Once you've selected Print you'll receive a notification at the bottom of the screen indicating the event has started in the background - allowing you to freely exit the screen and continue your work

Viewing Your Shipping Labels

Since your labels will be generated in the background you'll need to use the Asynchronous Events screen in order to view them for printing once they've completed. You can check the status within this screen - some large batches may take a while to process

Navigate: System Activity → Asynchronous Events

Select: Async Print Event

Select: View (alternatively you can select the Printer icon to the left)
