Troubleshooting Printing and Appearance Issues

Shipping Label Scaling Problems If your shipping labels are not scaling correctly for your printer, note that LTL Select does not allow for changes to the printing format directly. Follow these steps instead:

  1. Download the document onto your device.

  2. Use your device’s editing software to adjust the size or format for your printer.

By doing this, you ensure your label fits the intended format and print settings.

Differences in Document Appearance On certain occasions, your BOL or shipping labels might appear different from normal. This often occurs because of temporary technical outages in the system. During such outages, LTL Select generates a generic document to avoid shipping delays.

  • Why it Happens: Temporary technical outages may hinder customized document generation.

  • What to Do: Use the generic document provided as it remains valid and functional for your shipment.

This section ensures users can manage any issues that may appear after printing labels or BOLs.

Lastly, the third and final way to Print the BOL or Labels is by going to the Dashboard page

Clicking on the LTL Select logo at the top or clicking on the Hamburger menu to the left of the logo and clicking Dashboard

On the Dashboard click on the DISPATCHED shipment to expand it

Under where it says Documents

Click on the BOL or Labels file icon, for the Manage Document box to pop up

Click the Print button and repeat the steps above
