Printer Setup for Windows 95/98/XP Home

1. Connect your printer to your computer as directed by the manufacturers instructions.

2. Install the print driver that is specific to your printer (if you are using a Lexmark 2300 series printer then use the IBM Proprinter driver). Again refer to the manufacturers instructions for the installation of your printer.

3. Rename the printer to “UPS” by right-clicking on the printer you have installed and selecting the rename option. If you have closed the window with the printer names you can always get back to it by going to the windows Start – Settings – Printer. When you have finished renaming the printer it should look like the printer in the bottom right-hand corner of Figure 1.

Figure 1: Notice the UPS Printer in the bottom right-hand corner.

4. If you are using the FedEx and/or Airborne forms then you will need to repeat steps 2 and 3 but instead of rename to “UPS” you would rename your printer to “FedEx” and/or “Airborne”.

5. Now we need to set up the custom form size for the printer. Right-click on the “UPS” printer and select properties from the menu. Select the paper tab and move the scroll bar in the Paper size box all the way over to the right and select the custom form (Figure 2).

6. Next double-click on the Custom form and the User-Defined dialog box will appear. Set the Width and Height for the following forms:

UPS = Width is 700 and Length is 467
FEDEX = Width is 624 and Length is 285
AIRBORNE = Width is 750 and Length is 851
FEDEXLARGE = Width 700 and Length is 425
FEDEXUSAAIRBILL = Width 850 and Length is 550

Figure 3: For the UPS form your box should look like this.

7. When finished press OK in the User-Defined Size box and then OK again in the UPS Properties box.

8. Haz-Shipper will automatically default to the UPS printer when printing a UPS form. The same will also happen for the FedEx and Airborne forms if you are using these modes of transportation.
