More in Documents & Labels is part of Documents & Labels in Windward System Five. System Five includes 26 documented capabilities here — 23 in the standard set and 3 optional.
These 26 capabilities sit within System Five's 1287-capability documented set — a selection, not a ceiling.
Design and print your own barcode labels
Design and print your own inventory, gift card and name tag labels with a barcode generated from the item data. Supports UPC, Code 39 (3of9) and Code 128 symbologies.
Print shelf labels on the printer you own
Dedicated barcode and sign printers are driven by entering their native print codes alongside System Five's own field notations, so professional labels and shelf signs can be produced on a wide range of makes and models.
Pick a barcode that carries your part numbers
The label designer chooses barcode type against the data being encoded, so alphanumeric part numbers and numeric-only codes each print in a symbology that can carry them.
Print cheques the bank will accept
The shipped cheque templates conform to the Canadian Payments Association cheque standard, and existing sites can pull the updated templates down from Windward's web form repository.
Print cheques that fit our cheque stock
Cheque layouts are chosen from laser and dot-matrix defaults with the cheque at top, middle or bottom, then adjusted to existing cheque stock. A MICR or MICR-with-amount field is placed at the foot of the cheque and printed with an installed MICR font at size ten.
Print the right receipt when a card declines
Card receipt templates print different lines depending on whether the transaction was approved or declined, so items such as the signature line are suppressed on a declined receipt.
Print to the label printer you own
Label formats are produced in the printer's own language for Zebra and Eltron EPL2, SATO CG408 and LM408, Datamax E-4204, Citizen CL-S700 and Toshiba TEC printers.
Attach paperwork to the sale
A documents button on the invoice screen lets staff import, link and open documents attached to that invoice without leaving the point of sale.
Email invoices and statements to customers
Any printed transaction or record offers Email and PDF buttons on the print dialog. PDFs are written to a nominated folder and emailed either through a direct SMTP connection or through a mail client such as Outlook, with contacts picked from the customer or supplier record.
Print multi-part forms fast
Any non-fax printer can be switched to the printer's native text mode instead of Windows graphics printing for invoices and inventory labels, trading graphics, shading and font variation for speed on pre-printed multi-part forms.
Fax documents to customers who still want them
Documents can be printed to a fax driver, using either the Windows Fax Server or WinFax Pro, with the recipient's fax number pulled automatically from the customer or supplier record and transmission status visible in the outbox.
Make your paperwork look like yours
Invoice, statement, cheque, purchase order, receiving report and payment receipt forms are all designed in the system, as are inventory, customer, supplier and user labels. Standard invoice comments and ship-via entries are held as pick lists so repeated text is chosen rather than retyped.
Move form designs between systems
Form and label definitions can be exported from one system and imported into another, and custom designs can be supplied by support or downloaded from a web repository.
Print tree tags that scan on light stock
System Five prints loop tree tags on 7 inch and 10 inch by 1 inch stock in hole-right, hole-top and hole-bottom orientations, four or five across to suit a thermal print head. Barcodes print scannably on light coloured tag stock.
Label potted plants at the right size
Plant identification labels print on 4 inch by 1 inch and 5 inch by 1 inch pot stick stock for potted plants.
Tag plants with the right size label
Label designs cover garden centre stock such as perennial stick tags and tree loop tags, with their own dimensions and print direction.
Put your logo on printed invoices
Images such as a company logo can be placed on standard printed invoice forms through form customisation.
Batch up labels and print them later
Labels can be queued rather than printed immediately, with one queue per label type, and a queued-labels menu appears while anything is waiting. Parts can be added directly to the queue from the items tab.
Print invoices on local paper sizes
Invoice forms ship in US and Canadian letter size and in A4 for Australia, New Zealand, Europe and Asia, with full sets of slip form definitions available for slip printers.
Pick each aisle from its own slip
Invoice lines are grouped by warehouse location code, with wildcards allowed, and each group prints its own pick slip on that location's printer. A warehouse pick list and a separate customer pick list can print together per location.
Open attached documents from a cloud session
Attached PDFs can be stored in native PDF format rather than the older OLE container. This lets them be opened and viewed from a cloud session.
Cut the paper and pop the drawer
Control code sets for raw text barcode, receipt and slip printers ship with the software and can be selected, edited or added per printer, including the codes that trigger the paper cut at the end of a print and open the cash drawer.
Put a scannable code on printed output
System Five can encode QR codes onto labels and printed output, including on SATO label printers, carrying a contact card, phone number, email address, calendar appointment, SMS or web address that a phone camera can act on.
Put our logo on every receipt
Star TSP600 to TSP900 receipt printers can hold between one and ten downloaded bitmap logos in the printer itself, and the receipt design chooses which logo to print.
Print forms from browser-based workflows
A document server component generates and manages the printed forms produced by browser-based workflows and routes them to a printer.
Send statements customers can actually read
Statements print separate payment and invoice grids with configurable heading-row colour and alternating row banding, an option to expand each invoice into a detail comment box showing part number, description, quantity and selling price with a set indent, and an option to suppress the built-in statement summary in favour of a hand-built one.
