General
The General section contains the following options:
•
Currency: The selected currency will be presented in Checkout and Order Manager sections of the
system.
•
Weight Unit: the weight unit used to define the total weight of the documents/jobs in the checkout.
PSW supports kg and lb.
•
Tax: the standard Taxation system. The exact parameters of the selected Taxation system can be
modified in the Tax Rates section. A Tax Rate system can be specified per company/department or
template. If no Tax Rate system is defined at these levels, PrintShop Web system will use the one
specified in this section (the system default)
MIS Connector
This section lets the administrator activate a MIS Connector. MIS Connectors are used to send order
information to external MIS systems on order creation or order status changes. The communication
method and the type of data used to exchange information depends on the selected MIS connector
and is often determined by the developer of the MIS system.
Production
The Production section lets you change default values for production specific parameters. These
settings are system wide and can be overridden at template level.
•
Standard Production Time: In the standard production time pull-down-menu the number of days
to produce documents can be defined. The values ranges from 0 to 15. The standard production
time is used to calculate the first possible shipping date during the ordering process. The end user
has the option to select a different date (via a calendar) but cannot select any of the dates marked
as standard production time. The values specified in this section are automatically applied to new
templates.
•
Rush Order Production Time: The Rush Order Production Time pull-down-menu defines the
number of production days for rush orders. When the end user selects a date that implies a rush
order the rush surcharge is added to the price of the document. If the rush order production time is
set to 0 no rush orders are accepted.
•
Include Today For Production: When checked, this option determines if the current date is
counted as a production day for orders placed before the time specified in the orders placed before
pull-down-menu
•
Orders Placed Before: Defines the time for the Include today for production option.
When no Standard Production Time is specified and the Include Today For Production check box is
checked, it is possible for customers to order print jobs for the same day (when ordered before the
specified Orders placed before time).
The default value of the Orders placed before pull-down-menu is 13:00 hours. The settings defined in
the Production section are system default settings and are used for all templates. It is also possible to
specify production settings for a template in the Publication Types section. See for more information

•

•
