Once the MachShip Printing Application has been installed you will need to generate the following in MachShip:

• Create the Printer
• Create the Printer Configuration 
• Create Printer Configuration Evaluation (if required)

This configuration will be what will tell MachShip when, what, and where to print. 

Create the Printer in MachShip

Navigate to the Printers Page:

• Go to Admin and Other Options.
  
  
  
  

• Under the Advanced section select Printers.
  
  
  
  

• Select the Add Printer Button.
  
  
  
  

Alternatively, go to the following link.

Create the Printer:

Provide MachShip with the Printer's Name, Description and assign to a Company. 

Note: The Name and the Description are free text, it is suggested to indicate what printer you are creating.

See example below:

If the printer will be required for use by a series of child companies it is suggested that you make it Inheritable.

                                                         

Once complete Save the Printer.

Upon successfully setting up the printer, it will appear in the Printer Grid. Here you will be able to see the connection token. This token will be placed in the field on the application and will maintain a connection between the Printer and MachShip.
