In this way you can use different types of paper for different documents and set ShipStation to automatically print selected documents with the paper used in each tray.įor example, in Tray 1 you might use Avery half-sheet labels to print 2 labels per page and in Tray 2 use standard letter or A4-sized paper to print your packing slips. If your standard desktop printer contains multiple trays, you can add another instance of your printer to your printer workstation System Preferences and use CUPS to assign a specific tray to each instance. Review the ShipStation Print Settings article for details.
Your next step is to ensure your ShipStation label format is set correctly. If you want to check and adjust the printer defaults for your standard printers, you should do so through the Mac CUPS option. In most cases, the default settings do not need to be adjusted on standard printers to accommodate printing in ShipStation. Your standard printer is now ready to use. Once installed, your Mac should then auto select the correct driver in the Add pop-up screen.
Check the documentation for your make and model of printer on the manufacturer's website, then download and install the correct driver for your printer.
If the name of the driver does not match the model of your printer, you may need to install a printer driver before proceeding.
