Creating Stickers

Once your printer is set up, follow these steps to create oil change reminder stickers.

1. Enter Return Mileage

Type in the mileage when the customer should return for their next oil change. If left empty, it will default to 5,000 miles.

You can press Enter at any time to generate the sticker.

2. Select Vehicle Component Conditions

Choose the current condition for each vehicle component (Tires, Brakes, and Battery). For each component, you can select:

  • Good - Component is in good condition
  • Fair - Shows some wear but still serviceable
  • Poor - Needs attention soon

All selections are optional. If no selection is made for a component, its boxes will still appear on the sticker without a checkmark.

3. Generate and Print

Click the "Generate Sticker" button or press Enter from any field to create the sticker. A new window will open with the PDF, and your system's print dialog will appear automatically.
