Printing

Flux prints through your browser, so any printer that works on your computer or tablet works with Flux. There is nothing to install.

Printing a ticket #

• Save & Print on a new or open ticket saves it and opens the print dialog.
• Print on an open ticket prints what is on screen without saving.
• Close Ticket prints the invoice automatically.
• Open any invoice later and click Print to reprint it.

What is on the printout #

• Your store's logo, name, address, phone, and fax from Store details.
• The customer's name and address, and the vehicle's VIN, year, make, model, plate, fleet number, and odometer.
• The ticket number (shown as Invoice once closed), the optional Ref number, the date, the technicians, and on invoices the payment method.
• Every line with part number, description, quantity, unit price, and total. Declined lines are struck through and marked (DECLINED) so the customer sees what was recommended.
• Customer Notes, tire DOT numbers, the totals, and a signature line.
• A fixed footer: the repair authorisation and warranty text on work orders and estimates, and the goods-received, finance-charge, and wheel-torque text on invoices.

Account Notes never print. Estimates print on the same layout as work orders.

Statements and reports #

Customer statements print from the Accounts Receivable report with Print Statement; see Charge accounts and statements. Any report can be printed from the browser's print command, and tables with an Excel or CSV button can be exported instead.

Inspection reports #

The Print button on an inspection report prints the checklist with the vehicle details and your store header. See Inspection reports.

Getting a clean printout #

• Turn on Background graphics in the browser's print dialog so the logo and colour cues print. In Chrome and Edge it is under More settings.
• Leave margins and scale at their defaults; the layout is designed for letter paper.
• To make a PDF instead of paper, choose Save as PDF as the printer. That is the easiest way to email a customer a copy.
• If the printout looks cramped on a tablet, print from a desktop browser; the layout is the same.
