This means that your CFR or IATA certification needs to be renewed. You need to retake a training course and pass a test to continue shipping hazardous materials. You must re-certify once every 3 years for CFR, IATA is once every 2 years.
If you have recently trained then you need to change the dates under “Maintenance” then “Employee”. Enter the date that the employee completed and passed the test for certification. The expiration date is 3 years later for CFR and 2 years for IATA.
Make sure that you have loaded your specific print driver and renamed it “ups”, “FedEx”, or “airborne”. (For example, if you have an Epson FX, go to “start”, “settings”, “printers”, load that print driver, then right click on it, click on rename and name it “ups”)
Make sure that you have set the top-of-form on your printer. If you are unsure how to do this, check your manual for proper instructions.
If you are using a dot matrix for both the UPS label and EOD certification you need to have 2 print drivers loaded. One for the UPS label (that is renamed UPS) and one driver for the EOD certification (do not rename).
Book #’s are an 8 digit # used by UPS for billing. This is the # that prints out in the upper left hand corner of the UPS certification. These would have been sent with the paperwork of your original version of Haz-Shipper and can be found in the company information screen.
This stands for End of Day. To determine the correct EOD # you need to look on your last UPS certification paper. Your “next” EOD # would be the next number after that. Example: if your last UPS certification # is 90132553 then your “next EOD # “ is 90132554. (Book start # should always remain the same)
This is the paper that shows your UPS shipments for the day. You should print 2 copies- one for the UPS driver and one for your records.
If the technical name that you are using is not listed in the hazardous substance list enter your technical name in the box labeled “If not listed in hazardous substance table then add technical names here.” If this is a technical name that is used frequently then put a check mark in the box labeled “save name” Then the technical name will be available in the drop down list labeled “select technical name”.
You must purchase additional licenses to load Haz-Shipper on more than one computer.
