If you have not already done so, ShipWorks will prompt you to select the printer that you will use to print your OnTrac shipping labels.

10. The Processing Setup screen allows for you to add and configure an email address in ShipWorks, set automatic email notifications, and to tell ShipWorks to what status the order should be set when processing or voiding a label. For the Local Status settings, we recommend leaving the defaults.
