Legacy Oil Sticker Configuration

This topic covers the legacy oil sticker configuration. There is a new oil sticker configuration process that is easier to configure. The new configuration also allows R.O. Writer DVI Suite users to print bar codes on the sticker.

Formatting the Oil Sticker

Click the Configuration menu and verify that Enable Legacy Oil Sticker is checked. Then, click Oil Sticker Configuration.

The Oil Sticker side menu.

The Oil Sticker Configuration window opens.

The following table describes the settings on the Oil Sticker Configuration window.
Setting Description

Shop Information

The shop information appears at the top of the label.

You can

  • Enter your shop name, address, and phone information in the fields provided.
  • Click the Copy button to insert the shop information contained in your license information. Your license information is what appears at the top of printed tickets and work orders.
  • Click the Reset button to replace the shop information with the factory default information. Use this option only under the direction of R.O. Writer Technical Support.

Comment and Position

The oil sticker will print the text you enter in the Comment field in the location you select in the Position dropdown list.

It is common to print something like "Your Next Visit is Due" at the top or your company's slogan at the bottom.

Prompting

 

 

 

 

The Prompting setting determines if R.O. Writer prints or prompts you to print an oil sticker from an open ticket if that ticket includes labor that is configured to print oil stickers.

Prompting dropdown list for legacy oil sticker printing.

When Never is selected, oil stickers never print automatically. You can only print oil stickers on-demand from open tickets.

When Prompt is selected, the Print Oil Sticker prompt appears when you print the work order or finalize the repair order.

The prompt appears only once.

  • If you print a work order and print the sticker from the prompt, the prompt does not appear when you finalize.
  • If you don't print a work order before you finalize, the prompt appears when you finalize.
  • If you print a work order but cancel the sticker print, the prompt appears when you finalize.

Whenever the prompt appears, you can modify some of the oil sticker information before printing the sticker.

When Always is selected, the oil sticker prints when you print the work order.

No prompt appears. You cannot review or edit the information on the sticker before printing. The sticker prints as configured.

The oil sticker prints only once; it does not print again when you finalize. If you do not print a work order, the sticker prints when you finalize.

NOTE: The Prompting setting does not affect printing oil stickers on demand. When you print oil stickers from an open ticket, the Print Oil Sticker Prompt always appears.

You can adjust the margin when printing oil stickers. Enter a value between -100 and +100 to adjust the margin.
