 Printing and Faxing of Shop Papers

Use

You can print shop papers for an order or send them by fax. You can also print the shop papers for several orders collectively or send them by fax.

Prerequisites

You can generally only print shop papers if the control key for the operation allows this; that is, if the indicator Print is active for the control key.

The standard system also requires that:

  • The system status REL is set

  • The order has not been completed

To print out several shop papers collectively, you must generate an order list.

All of the shop papers that you can print, can also be faxed, provided that you have made the relevant specifications.

    ‑ In conjunction with the "Putting in process" function

    Refer to Printing Shop Papers .

  • Printing shop papers for individual operations from an order

    You can print out shop papers for particular order operations. For example, this is useful if:

    • The shop papers for an operation have been lost

      Refer to Printing Shop Papers .

  • Displaying and archiving shop papers

    Here you can save shop papers to an order in the ArchiveLink.

  • Calling up a print preview and print log

    You can use the print preview to display how the printout will look before you print the shop papers.

    The print log is created automatically by the system once you have printed the shop papers. You can use this to define:

    • Which papers have already been printed for an order

    • Who initiated the printout

    • When the printout was made
