This feature allows you to ship your packages with either the USPS or UPS Mail Innovations, or both.
1. Go to the Mailer Configuration screen (File, Program Setup, Mailer Configuration) and click on the "Preferences Tab".
2. Make sure the label type is either 4x5" thermal or 4x6" thermal. In the future we will also support 4x5 Laser (or inkjet).
3. Select UPS Mail Innovations.
4. If you will be shipping with UPS Mail Innovations more than the USPS, check the "default to consolidator entry" checkbox.
5. If you check the "Use Package ID in PIC", it will allow you to manually assign the package ID instead of letting Window Book autonumber it. The next release will also include a setting to allow you to set the fixed length of the package ID field.
6. If you wish the order number to appear at the top of the Mail Innovations label you must go to Advanced Settings and check off the options to enter order number and print order number.
7. Click the OK button at the bottom of the screen to save.
Shipping Label:
Top barcode consists of the 5 digit destination ZIP Code and an 8 digit package ID.
SHIPPING WITH UPS MAIL INNOVATIONS:
In Daily Shipping, you can check the UPS Mail Innovations checkbox under the select rates button to indicate you want to ship that package with UPS Mail Innovations.
You will notice the shipping label looks much different than our normal USPS labels. Please make sure if you are shipping with both the USPS and UPS Mail Innovations, that you keep these packages separate so you give the right packages to the right carrier.
Your 'End of Day' report will now have two sections, one for USPS and one for UPS Mail Innovations.
Since the UPS Mail Innovations packages are not uploaded to the USPS, you will not see them in the communications tab. Tracking can be done using regular FTP or HTTP tracking methods.
E-MAIL Notification
If you are doing e-mail shipment notifications, you may wish to edit the shipment notifications, you may wish to edit the shipment notification message and check the 'Send Immediately' checkbox but include a warning in the e-mail message that the USPS may not show any record of this item for one or two days.
