Creating a New Print Rule

A Print Rule defines the conditions and printing settings Deviking Order Autoprint uses to create automatic print jobs.

1. Open Print Rules

In your WordPress dashboard, go to:

Deviking Order Autoprint → Print Rules

Click:

Add New Rule

2. Enter a Rule Name

Choose a clear name that describes the purpose of the rule.

Examples:

• Processing Orders
• Warehouse Packing List
• Kitchen Tickets
• Cash on Delivery Orders
• Greece Orders
• High Value Orders

The name is used for administration and helps you identify the rule later.

3. Enable the Rule

Make sure the rule is enabled if you want it to create automatic print jobs.

You can save a rule as disabled if you want to configure it now and activate it later.

4. Choose the Order Status Trigger

Select the WooCommerce order status that should trigger the rule.

For example:

Processing

When an order reaches the selected status, Deviking Order Autoprint checks whether it also matches the rule conditions.

5. Add Optional Conditions

You can narrow the rule using conditions such as:

• Payment method
• Shipping method
• Product category
• Shipping country
• Shipping state / region
• Minimum order total
• Maximum order total

If no additional conditions are used, the rule can apply to every order that reaches the selected trigger status.

6. Select the Device

Choose the Windows Device that should receive the print job.

For example:

Warehouse PC

The Device must already be paired with the WooCommerce site.

7. Select the Printer

After selecting the Device, choose one of the printers reported by that Agent.

For example:

Warehouse A4 Printer

The print job will be sent to this printer when the rule is triggered.

8. Select the Template

Choose the type of document you want the rule to print.

Available templates include:

• Standard Order
• Customer Receipt
• Packing List
• Delivery Note
• Kitchen Ticket

9. Choose the Paper Format

Select the format required by the printer:

• A4
• A5
• 80mm Thermal
• 58mm Thermal

Make sure the selected format matches the physical printer and paper.

10. Configure Copies

Set the number of copies to print for each job.

For example:

Copies: 1

or:

Copies: 2

11. Configure Printer Settings

Depending on the selected format, you can configure settings such as:

• Orientation
• Margins
• Paper width
• Auto-Cut
• RAW ESC/POS
• Fallback printer

12. Configure the Document Layout

Customize the printed document by enabling, disabling or reordering sections such as:

• Header
• Customer
• Products
• Totals
• Notes
• Custom Text
• Footer

13. Configure Branding

Each rule can have its own branding.

You can configure:

• Logo
• Business name
• Address
• Phone
• Email
• Footer text
• Logo size
• Logo alignment

14. Save the Rule

Click:

Save Rule

The rule is now available in the Print Rules list.

If it is enabled, future orders matching the configured trigger and conditions can create print jobs automatically.

15. Test the Rule

Before relying on the rule in production, it is recommended to test it with a real or test WooCommerce order.

Verify that:

• The rule triggers at the expected status
• The correct order matches
• The correct Device receives the job
• The correct printer is used
• The document layout is correct
