Follow these instructions to set up The Eagle printers. See the Printers Table for an explanation of compatible printers.
In The Eagle, you set up printers for each carrier individually. You can print thermal bar-coded shipping labels for UPS Domestic and International, FedEx Express and Ground, USPS, and Spee-Dee shipments.
From The Eagle main toolbar, click the Ship button to access the Shipping Window. Then, select a carrier from the carrier drop-down list, and press F6 or the Print button.
When the carrier-specific Forms dialog box appears,
select the form you want to set up, and click the Printers button.
Note: The first row of the Carrier Forms box is reserved for COD labels
(except when shipping with FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, or UPS). Do not
edit this form name.
The UPS Smart Labels supported in v5.5 and higher. This enables COD

form UPS Ship. Label Blk is set up, there are no additional steps necessary
to print the Smart Label.
Select to Print Direct to Port or Print through Driver.
To print to a thermal printer, select the Thermal Barcode Printer check box. For printing of bar coded shipping labels, The Eagle supports the Eltron and Zebra thermal printers, depending upon the selected carrier.
Now select a printer from the Printer drop-down list. If you selected Thermal Barcode Printer, only the thermal printers appear in the Printer drop-down list. To set up a thermal barcode printer, click the Thermal Settings button.
If you did not select
the Thermal Barcode Printer check box, click the Printer Setup button
to set up the printer, if necessary.
Important: Shipping labels for all carriers, except FedEx Express and
FedEx Ground when using the Internet module, must be printed on a supported
Thermal printer.
Click OK, and Exit. Repeat these steps for each carrier.
