Chapter One: Setting Up FSMS
FedEx Ship Manager
®
Server User Guide, Version 7.6 57
1. In the Shipping Type section of the Doc-Tab Settings window, click the shipping type for which you
are configuring Doc-Tab settings. If you click Export Express, you will configure Doc-Tab settings for
FedEx International Express. Clicking Ground allows you to designate Doc-Tab items for FedEx
Ground shipping, both U.S. Domestic and FedEx International.
2. Depending on your printer and the label stock you are using, select either Top or Bottom to
designate how the Doc-Tab portion of the label exits the printer. Top means the Doc-Tab exits the
printer last, after the rest of the label has printed; Bottom means that the Doc-Tab exits the printer
first, before the rest of the label.
NOTE:
FSMS prints the Doc-Tab information at the bottom of the label regardless of the
orientation.
After you select the Doc-Tab Orientation, the setting applies to both FedEx Express and FedEx
Ground labels. These settings can be overridden in your shipping transaction by passing a value for
Top or Bottom in field 1370. For more information regarding FSMS shipping transactions, see
Chapter Two: FSMS Transaction Coding in this User Guide.
3. Shipping information to be printed on the Doc-Tab may be selected in two ways. You may:
• Choose from the list of pre-configured shipping information that can be accessed by clicking the
pull-down list of Values. The information for these pre-configured choices is supplied from your
shipping transaction. You may also choose to default to the configured Heading, or you may
override the heading by typing in your own text.
• Choose Custom Doc-Tab Field # to configure your own Doc-Tab information. This method of
configuring a Doc-Tab lets you enter your own Doc-Tab Heading and allows you to supply the
data you want to print in the Doc-Tab field for your shipping transaction.
To Select a Pre-Configured Doc-Tab Item:
a. Click the pull-down list under the Values column. Click the pre-configured Doc-Tab item in the
list.
b. The value you selected is displayed in the Values column. The corresponding heading for this
value is displayed in the Headings column. You may override this heading by typing in your
own text. Up to 12 characters (including spaces) will print on the doc-tab.
To Configure a Custom Doc-Tab Item:
a. Click the pull-down list under the Values column. You may select up to 12 custom Doc-Tab
values from this list. Click the custom Doc-Tab field value to select.
b. When you select a custom Doc-Tab field value, the corresponding Heading field becomes
active. In this field, enter the title for the custom Doc-Tab field you selected. Up to 12
characters (including spaces) will print on the doc-tab.
4. When you code your shipping transaction, you must enter the data you want to appear on the label
Doc-Tab for the custom Doc-Tab field you selected in the Doc-Tab Settings window. For example:
You selected Doc-Tab Field 1-Tag 581 from the Values pull-down list. You enter “Handling” as the
Heading. In your shipping transaction, you include field 581 and the value “5.00.” On the label Doc-
Tab, the item: “Handling: 5.00” is displayed.
