Click on the Blue Expander Triangle beside the word "Modules" to open this menu tree
Click on Add Module
Click on the upload file icon to the right of the text field
A popup window will appear. Click BROWSE and find the Module you have just saved on your local drive.

Click on the blue Expander triangle to the left of the store name to open its menu tree.
Click on 'Order Fulfillment Configuration'
Check the 'truXoft Shipping Labels' and click the Update button
Click on the 'truXoft Shipping Labels' tab, verify and modify parameters
In your MSIE6 browser's menu, go to
File » Page Setup
, remove the
Header
and
Footer
and set all
margins
to zero. Some printers do not allow printing from the sheet edge and MSIE will reset the margins to a minimum value respecting the printer settings. In that case take the value of the left and top margins and insert them into the
Page Offset
parameters on the MmLABEL admin screen. Left margin comes to the left field (horizontal values) and the top margin into the righ field (vertical values).
Edit the default text of the label to fit your needs. Use any correct HTML, including CSS and the variable tokens listed at the bottom of the admin screen.
Please note that the free support does not include help with designing your HTML code!
Please refer to
HTML
and
CSS
manuals for details. Requests for help with the HTML formatting of your labels are provided with the purchase of the
devloper installation
only.
After
you have set your default label (especially the
Page Offset
and the
Label Text
fields), download the pre-defined label sheet formats from truXoft server. The named parameters from the default label will be copied to each of the new downloaded label definitions.
You can reset the settings at any time - disable and re-enable the module from the
Order Fulfillment
screen. In this way you can change your default settings and re-download the predefined label formats.
Launch the Ultra Batch report, select the 'Labels' mode, select batch to use, click the OK button and when a new page loads, select the label type, wait till the page reloads and print the frame. You can use the search/filter function to look up a desired label quicker. You can search labels by different criteria (name, size, number of labels per sheet, color, etc.).

Add
button after uploading the file in
Modules/AddModule
How do I update the module?
Click on the
update
link in the header of the module's control panel in Admin. Download the updated module from the upgrade center. In Admin Go to
Modules
» module name »
Files
, click the upload icon button right to the
Module
input field, check
"Overwrite"
, locate the new file on your disk, click
UPLOAD
and when you are back in the big window
do not forget
to click the
UPDATE
button! Click back to the
Information
tab and verify if the version was updated. Now enter the module's Admin screen in the
Order Fulfillment
. The last step is necessary at updates where the settings database structure has changed - the changes are activated only upon opening the Admin screen.
Please note that if you have bought the module at other reseller than
MvCool
, usually you have to use the address of the reseller as the "
e-mail address assotiated with the license
" (for example sales@vikingcoders.com). You should have received intstructions from the reseller when purchasing the module.
What ist he ideal size to make my logo so it works well with this module?
In fact it should not matter too much, because you can scale it to any desired size with the use of CSS. See the default label HTML code - the truXoft logo is resized exactly in this way. The size in pixels depends on the resolution of your printer. If you have a laser printer of 300 dpi, making the logo of more then 0.9*300 pixels high would have few sense.
Why does it print out an extra sheet of paper?
Unfortunately there is not a lot I could do about it. This is the way the browser handles it. The orignal images are in fact bigger that they appear on the screen or on the paper. The module resizes and crops them, but some browsers still may get confused and add an extra page anyway. Just put the blank page back into the printer - that's the only advice I have :)
How do I display additional user data such as from the
Addendum
or
OrderXtra
on the labels?
With the help of the
MmEXT
module. Use the following syntax to insert the external variables (case sensitive!):
