Export endorse info on first and last piece of container

If you would like to only print the optional endorsement line on the first and last piece in a tray or sack (or just the first or the last), follow the instructions below.

  • Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\AccuZIP6 5.0\iPresort\INI Defaults and open Advancedsettings.ini in Notepad or something equivalent. If this file doesn't exist, create this file and make sure it has an .ini extension.
  • Paste this into the advancedsettings.ini file, then close the file and click Yes to save changes:
******************************************
*!* Tray and Package Mark
*!* 0= OR 1= Normal
*!* 2=Last
*!* 3=First and Last
[MISC]
PALLET MARK=
CONTAINER MARK=3
PACKAGE MARK=

  • Presort the list as normal
  • From the Print Presort window, click Print Labels
  • In Print Settings select Disk File from the Output drop-down option in the upper-left corner of the screen
  • In the Export Setup window, choose your export map or add the fields that you wish to export
  • After selecting the Endorse field, put this expression into the Expression column of the Endorse row.
IIF(!EMPTY(traymark_),PADL(ALLT(Endorse),30,"*"),SPACE(30))


If you want to export the container number and bundle number on the same line as the endorsement info, use this expression:

IIF(!EMPTY(traymark_),ALLT(PADL(TRANSFORM(VAL(cont_id)),3," "))+"*"+ALLT(PADL(TRANSFORM(VAL(gpb_id)),3," "))+PADL(ALLT(Endorse),30,"*"),SPACE(40))

  • Choose your export format, then click Export. Give the file a name, decide where you want to save it, then click Save.

I got a virus and had to have my computer practically rebuilt resulting in losing my custom settings, etc. I just finished an online remote session with Geoff. He was amazingly helpful, patient and upbeat. He spent over 1½ hours with me. Not only did he help me with what I asked him for, he gave me a lot of additional information making my mailing process easier. I've been using AccuZIP for years now and have never taken the time to commend the company for its excellent customer service. I have had good experiences with all of your techs and will absolutely recommend you to anyone I know who needs this kind of software. Thank you for such a user-friendly, customer friendly program!
