Prepare RMS for use with ShipRush

POS ShipRush Button

No preparation is needed in RMS to use this mode. When ShipRush first runs, be sure to set the ADO connection in the Connection Parameters area. Then follow any prompts to restart ShipRush or POS.

Shipping Queue Operation

For Shipping Queue operation, the first step is to set up shipping services in the RMS Store Operations Manager application.

Some notes about RMS:

• RMS centrally stores the location of ShipRush.  This means that ShipRush must be installed to the same directory on all shipping stations.  It is advised to use the ShipRush default target directory during installation.

Preparation:

ShipRush requires that some batch files be created. The sections below can be copied into batch files that are saved into:

     "C:\Program Files\Z-Firm LLC\ShipRush v5\"

For USPS shipping, the batch file is:

@echo off
"c:\program files\z-firm llc\shiprush v5\shiprush5.exe" /carrier=usps /popup

Paste the indented text above into Notepad, and save it to the "C:\Program Files\Z-Firm LLC\ShipRush v5\" as "SRUSPS.bat"  (Note: Be sure to use the " marks around the file name. If they are omitted, the file may be saved as SRUSPS.bat.txt.

For Endicia shipping, the batch file is:

@echo off
"c:\program files\z-firm llc\shiprush v5\shiprush5.exe" /carrier=endicia /popup

Paste the indented text above into Notepad, and save it to the "C:\Program Files\Z-Firm LLC\ShipRush v5\" as "SREndicia.bat"  (Note: Be sure to use the " marks around the file name. If they are omitted, the file may be saved as SREndicia.bat.txt.
