Overview

This document outlines how to enhance the printing of information on a 6x4 thermal paper using API customisation, achieved by adjusting keys such as "label_size" and "generate_packing_slip" to include order details, item specifics, and quantities on a single packing slip.

Efficient 6x4 Printing

To enable the printing of additional information on a 6x4 paper size using the API, adjust the following keys in the API request:

• "shipment": { "label_size": "8x4", "generate_packing_slip": true }

Once these keys are configured as specified, the output can still be printed on a 6x4 paper. This customisation appends the order reference number ID and the individual items within the package to the bottom of the paper. The printed details include the SKU, Item Description, and quantity (qyt) for each item.

It's important to note that this method can accommodate up to three items within a single shipping slip; however, if an attempt is made to include more than three items, an additional 6x4 paper will be utilised.

To observe the real-time functionality of this customisation, you can experiment with it in our API playground. Navigate to the API Playground and follow the steps outlined below to gain insights on effectively implementing this feature:

1. In the API request's shipment section, ensure "label_size" is set to 6x4 and "generate_packing_slip" is set to false.
2. Click "Send Request" then "View Label" to generate and view the shipping slip.
3. Observe the shipping label without the packing slip at the bottom.
4. Return to the API playground and modify "label_size" to "8x4" and "generate_packing_slip" to true.
5. Click "Send Request" again, followed by "View Label."
6. Witness the inclusion of a packing slip at the bottom on the same 6x4 roll used for shipping labels.

You can apply the same keys in your API requests for similar outcomes, compatible with any courier.
