How Do I Access The Shipping Station?

Users with the correct subscription can access the Shipping Station by following the next few steps. 
  1. First, users need to log into the system as shown below. Please follow this link to access - https://platform.kornitx.net/

Your login will have been provided to you before signing into the system.
Once the Shipping Station is loaded you will see the following screen shown below. 

Within this screen you can either begin scanning your items ready for shipping or entering in the allocated barcode to run shipping on the individual items one at a time. More details on how items can be added and what to do are detailed within the next section of this article. 

How Does The Shipping Station Work? 

This station accepts Job Item Barcodes with the prefix " ", it can also work in short run mode by scanning the Item ID with the prefix "01". Please note that only orders set to "In Production" will work here. Once scanned the platform will display the following which is telling us where the Order needs to be added to for shipping to be successful. 

In the below screenshot we can clearly see once we scan the barcode that we need to pick items from the "002" bin. Once we pick these items and scan again the system tells us to "Store Item in" bin 002. 

Alternatively the Shipping Station will display Shipping Documents that need to be printed and included within the item package.
A useful option on the Kornit X QC Station is the fullscreen mode. Where a single computer is going to be used only for that station it allows a cleaner view with now room for error or switching, it keeps focus on the stations intended purpose. Fullscreen mode can be toggled on and off using the icon in the top right of the station which looks like the below.



FAQS

We have included some Frequently asked questions regarding the use of the Shipping Station which can be found below. 

I am unable to access the Shipping Station?
If you are unable to see either the Floor Modules entirely or the Shipping Station within this is likely due to user permissions- it could either be that your user/company do not require the Shipping Station for your workflow. The best way to resolve this is the contact the Kornit X Support team who can confirm what access you need to have and if missing they can amend your users to access the station for you.

I am unable to load my barcodes within the Shipping Station?
Barcodes will not appear within your search if any of the line items have not yet reached the status of "In Production". Without this the page will display an error message like the below example. To resolve ensure the items are all set to "In production".
