1. Create two folders on the computer:

   • Example: 
   • Permissions
     • Windows: In the example, I put the application in the root of C:\ but the other folders are fine as long as the scale operator's Windows user can read from the folder. The user doing the initial configuration will need Write access to the folder.
     • Macs: You can use any user writable folder. Most often used is   /Users/{username}navusoft
2. Download the latest Navusoft Device Interface Application & Google Chrome Extension.

The Configuration Scale Workstation setup serves as the connection between the scale and Navusoft. Once all setup requirements are complete, the Weigh button becomes available on inbound and outbound scale work orders, allowing weight to be captured and recorded on the ticket.

1. From the Inbound / Outbound screen, click on the Configure Scale Workstation button. 
2. Select the Configuration folder you previously created in the Installing Workstation Dependencies Setup process.
   • If prompted to allow Navusoft to edit files (or the option to always allow Navusoft to edit files) click Edit Files. 
3. Click the Add button to Add a scale. 
   • Set a Scale ID
   • Select the appropriate Port and Port Settings
   • Click Test.
   • Use the sample response to adjust the scale configuration settings.
   • Once the weight appears to be returning properly, click Get Weight to confirm the parsing works okay.
   • Click Save. 
4. Add more scales, set the default scale (if more than one exists), or close the window when finished. 
5. Edit Work Order will now have an option for Weigh (f10).
   • When clicking Weigh, if there is only one configured scale it will immediately poll that scale, otherwise it will prompt to select the Scale ID.
   • Weight In will populate an first weigh.
   • Weight Out will populate on second weigh. 

1. Open Navusoft in your Chrome browser. 
2. Go to Operations > Inbound / Outbound.
3. Select Configure Scale Workstation.
4. Click Select Scale Ticket Printer.
5. On the popup window, chose either IPP for network printers or Direct for windows drivers. 
   1. Note: IPP is recommended for performance, even on windows machines.
6. Highlight the printer you want to use.
7. Click Use Selected. 
8. Click Test to confirm your settings (a sample PDF will print). 

1. For IPP network printers, we will attempt to discover any local network printers. This will not always work due to network configuration and firewall rules. If your printer does not appear after a few seconds, choose Add Manually. 
   1. Specify http or https (most local printers will only support http).
   2. Specify either the DNS name or static IP address
   3. By default, we will use IPP port 631. If you are using an alternative port, you can specify it here. 
   4. If the printer requires credentials, specify the username and password.
      • Note: We currently only support basic authentication.
   5. Click Test to confirm your settings (a sample PDF will print).
   6. Click Save when done.
