Setting Up Your Printer To Work With Evente

Many of the items you buy or sell will be carried by UPS. In order to ensure that the shipping labels you generate when using Evente conform to the requirements of UPS, you must use the "UPS Printer Setup" page. (See below.) You can reach this page via the Account Maintenance link from the Main Menu page.

After a few seconds "printer applet" should appear on the Printer Setup page. This handy tool is written in Java, a widely-used computer language that is installed on most computers. If Java is installed on your computer, the applet will appear at the bottom of the page, showing a list of "Available Printers."  In that case, just select the printer you normally use for office work by clicking your mouse on the name of that printer. Then click the "Print Test" button. If the test page prints successfully, you are done. The printer setup is done only once on each computer you use to access Evente.com.

If the Java applet does not appear, you may not have Java installed on your computer. Instructions on the page tell you how to download it, for free, from the Sun Microsystems website. It takes just a few minutes to download and install Java, which is a safe and useful addition to your computer. Once Java is installed, return to the Printer Setup page and run the applet.
