Green Chain Grading

Green Chain Grading Mini-Printing Program

This small Microsoft Access program is a printing program which takes grading information that currently resides on your handheld computer and lets you print out numerous reports.  This program is located on your laptop, PC, or netbook and takes information uploaded onto a flash memory stick, CF, or SD card immediatedly from your handheld unit.  Then when the program is started, you can review and print out all types of reports.

What Reports Can I Print?

• Load Summary Report
• Load Detail Report
• Period Grading Report
• Period Grading Summary
• Period Grading by Log/Lumber Source

Why Should I Buy?

• The mini-printing programs print all of the reports that the handheld units print off, but it prints off fancier looking reports.
• These reports also can be printed on in-house printers.  You don't have to buy a printer specific to your handheld unit.  If you break your printer or need an ink cartridge, you go to Staples, Office Max, Wal Mart, or anywhere else and buy a replacement.  You don't need to rely on us.
• The reports you print out on your PC can be reviewed before printing.  You may sometimes wish only to review the information and not actually print the reports.  With this program, you can do so.
• There is more control over the reports printed and their load header information.
• There are many more reports on this mini-printing program than are available on your handheld unit.

What the Mini-Printing Program is Not!

• This printing program does not accumulate completed loads, so if it is not on the handheld unit, it won't be included on the reports.
• Any changes you make to the loads are not reflected back on the handheld unit.  The information is uploaded to the input medium only, and no updates are reflected back on the handheld when the card is reinserted.
• You cannot edit the grading information.  You must do this, if possible, on the handheld before the information is uploaded.
