Follow this link for a list of the fields which TradePeg can send to BarTender for label printing:
What fields can TradePeg send to Bartender for label printing?
- Telling the system about templates and the file name
Once you have created a template for a label you must add the label on the system - you do this by providing the template filename.
Go to Settings>Settings
Select the Label Templates tab
Select New Label 
Fill out the form with the relevant information
Template Name: This is an easy name to save the label template as on the system.
File Name: This is the filename you saved the label template as.
Once complete click Save
- Print queues, what they are, setting up new queues
Print queues are the systems queue manager to ensure printing jobs are executed in the order that they are sent to the printer - this queue then transfers print jobs from the system to Print Station on the computer the printer is connected to
Go to Settings>Reports
Select New Queue
Give the queue a name and then save
- Installing the Print Station on a computer
Download Print Station setup from your dedicated Print Station link. This can be found by:
On your TradePeg portal, navigate to Settings > App Settings
Under Print Station, you will find your dedicated link to install. Please copy that into your browser and hit enter.
Run Setup.exe to install the software on a computer that connects to the label printer - you may need to install Ghostscript to run the software - you MUST install the 32bit version of Ghostscript even if you are running a 64bit computer
Once the software is installed and running you will see this screen
Queue: Choose which queue should feed print jobs to Print Station - you require API access to be able to connect to the system to select a queue
Template Folder: Select file of the template made in Bartender/Telerik
Label Printer: Select which printer should print labels
Doc Printer: Select which printer should print documents
Barcode Printer: Select which printer should print barcodes
Shipping Slip Printer: Select which printer should print shipping slips
First we need to provide Print Station with API access to be able to select a queue to receive print jobs from.
Go to Settings>Team, Users, Sales Rep & Roles
In the API Access select New Access
You can now provide details for a new API access
Choose a Display name for the API access as well as a user name and password
The other fields can remain empty for Print Station access
Click save to save the API access
The new API access is now added to the list of API accesses
To add the API access to Print Station select the download button for the printers API to save the config file
Once you have the file downloaded from Print Station click Select Config File to add the API access
Browse to the file you downloaded (api.config) and select Open
Once Print Station has API access you should then be able to select the queue we created earlier from the dropdown menu
Click the ... to add a folder with the templates - navigate to the folder the templates are saved to and click OK
The template folder is now added to Print Station
You can now assign different rules for labels, documents, barcodes and shipping slips
System default: Use the default printer for the OS (Windows)
ASK: Ask which printer to use for each print job
SKIP: Do not print this item
Installed printers: Select one of the printers installed
Once you have set the rules for each item press OK
You can now print from the system selecting the template to use and the print job will be sent to the queue to be processed
