The XPS WebshipLink app is an alternate method of printing that will automatically print labels from the Ship Tab after booking a shipment without any additional involvement from the user. In addition, when printing from the Batch tab, the labels will be generated one at a time and sent to the printer instead of waiting for all labels to generate before allowing the first label to print.
Note: The WebshipLink app supports both Windows and Mac computers, including Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
Click the Settings tab.
Under User Settings select Printer Setup.
To enable this feature, check the box next to Print labels via the ship and batch tabs using XPS Ship WebshipLink. Add a Printer Name and click Add Printer.
This will provide you with a printer token. Copy the token as you will paste it in a later step.
Tip: if you click the copy icon next to the token, it will copy to your clipboard.
Next, you will need to install the XPS Ship WebshipLink. Click the link to launch the installer appropriate for your computer.
On Windows, the download button leads with the 64-bit installer and also lists a Windows 32-bit installer link below it. On a Mac, the page shows an Apple Silicon installer button and an Intel installer button side by side, and highlights whichever one matches your Mac when your browser can detect the chip. If the chip cannot be detected, the Apple Silicon installer is highlighted by default. To confirm your Mac's chip, select Apple menu > About This Mac > Chip, or click the information icon next to the installer buttons for the same guidance.
The setup installer will show in the bottom right corner of the screen. (If using Google Chrome.)
Open the installer and let it run. When finished, you will be asked to provide the printer token from the previous step. Paste the token and select a printer from the dropdown.
The system will connect to the printer automatically. A green dot will display, indicating the printer is connected.
When successfully connected, you will also see the status of Connected within the Printer Setup page.
Multiple printers are supported with this process. If additional printers are necessary, repeat the above steps to add additional printers. Be sure to set a printer as a default, by clicking next to the printer you wish to be the default.
Click Save Changes after making your selections.
**In order for printing to work you will need to have the WebshipLink app open. On the right hand of the ship or batch screen, it should show connected.
If it is showing Printer Status: Not connected in red open the WebshipLink app.
It should now show a green dot and be connected.
