FremanWeb Printing - Printer Management Tool
About the Printer Management Tool
FremanWeb is our fast and easy-to-use online freight management system which allows you to produce and print all transport documents to accompany your freight in just a few clicks.
The Printer Management Tool (PMT) is an extension of Quick Print and is ideal for network environments that are more complicated than a single computer with a locally installed printer.
Using PMT, the Quick Print client only needs to be installed in one centralised location (ideally a server). Once PMT has been set-up, a user can browse to Mainchain and print to a company printer, regardless of whether they are on or off their company network.
PMT as a printing solution can be used to solve:
- Windows Terminal Services Environments (as a work-around for Citrix environments),
- Multi-logins on the same computer (runs as a service),
- General network issues (slow company intranet/printing network, spread out company networks, remote users/operators in changing locations, java requirements on other systems),
- And can also eliminate steps in the dispatch process!
Features
Virtual Printing Tray
- PMT can be set up anywhere as long as it can access your company’s printer network.
- As long as your company’s printers and Mainchain admin account has been configured for PMT, you can print to those configured printers from your Mainchain account.
Solution to the Terminal Environment
- PMT can be set up to work with Windows Terminal Services.
- Once PMT has been initially set up, any user within the same company can browse to Mainchain and will be able to print to any of the company’s network printers.
Automatic Printing from Freman Web (when using EDI)
- PMT creates added functionality in Freman Web by automatically printing consignments that have been successfully imported via EDI.
- Automatic printing means that Mainchain does not need to be accessed on a day to day basis, reducing the steps and time taken for the dispatch process.
