Tagging

1) Tags are the green identifiers found right in front of the computer. These both mark clothes individually and identify them as part of a larger order for one customer.

2) The number highlighted in black on a tag is the piece count for the order. These piece counts go up only to 6, hence why the system will only allow you to group things in groups of 6.

3) The number below the single digit highlighted in black is the individual identifier for each group in an order. If a customer sends in 12 shirts and 2 pants, there will be one group tagged as 6, another as 6, and the last as 2, each with the respective single digit number highlighted in black and distinctive three-digit identifier.

4) A group of items under one tag identifier must contain items destined to be either dry cleaned or launder and pressed, but not a mix of both types. Meaning, if you have someone who brings in 2 blazers and 1 shirt for launder and press, you will group each as a tag with a piece count of 2 and a tag with a piece count of 1.

a. Similarly tagged items are cleaned in similar machines. A dry cleaned item tagged with the same identifier as a launder and press item may not end up dry cleaned.

5) Once you have inputted all of the items a customer has for you, click the “Finish Ticket” tab:

6) That will then lead you to this screen:

7) The inputs on the left are for piece counts (1 through 6) and the inputs on the right are for the specific identifiers (the three-digit numbers).

8) Once the maximum group of three tags is inputted, click Accept to proceed to finalizing the order. Once you do so, you will be led here:

9) For all other orders, nothing else needs to be done other than to click the “Print Ticket” tab at the bottom right of the page.

Off the computer

1) The first paper printed by the printer is the customer’s receipt. As the customer to bring this in 2 business days when the clothes arrive at 10am.

2) The rest of the paper(s) printed are to be matched to their respective tags. If you have an order with piece counts of 1, 2, and 6, then you will have three tickets printed with a 1, 2, and 6 highlighted in black on top of the individualized ticket numbers.

3) Staple one tag to its respective ticket and the rest of the tags to each item of clothing.

a. Do not staple this to the clothing itself and do not jam things through in such a way to break fabric. Be careful and place tags through the bottom two button holes (never the top buttonhole) or use a clothespin to fasten them to discrete parts of delicate clothing without buttonholes.

4) If each item is tagged and each ticket is tagged, place the clothing in the appropriate bin for Dry Cleaning, labeled DC, and launder and press, labeled ST for starched items and NST for non-starched items. Place the ticket in the correct plastic holder labeled DC, NST, and ST.

5) If everything is tagged, ticketed, and placed into a bag, you are all set.

6) When the bags get full, place the stapled order tickets in the bag, tie it up, and label it.
