🏁 Get started: Installation

Welcome! Here are the steps to download, install and start using Hjulius Mini.

1. Download the installer.

   If you haven’t already done so, download the installer from the link you received in your email. When the file has been downloaded, your browser (for example Chrome or Edge) may warn you about the file. You may have to click “Keep” or “Allow” to save it.

2. Run the installer.

   Locate the file you downloaded (usually in your Downloads folder) and double-click it to start the installation.

3. Handle the Windows SmartScreen warning.

   Since the software is new, Windows SmartScreen may show a warning dialog and block it from running. This is a normal Windows security feature.

   • Click the “More info” link in the warning dialog.
   • A new button, “Run anyway”, appears. Click it to start the installation.
   
4. First configuration.

   When the installation is finished, start Hjulius Mini. Go to “Administration” if you want to change the language in the app.

5. Make a test print.

   Go to “Tyre labels” and try printing a tyre label to verify that everything is working correctly.

🧩 Features in Hjulius Mini

Here is an overview of the main features and settings in the app.

Print a single tyre label

Go to "Tire Labels" to easily fill in information such as registration number, storage location, and other relevant data, and print professional tire labels directly.

Import a tyre list

You can easily import a list of tyres and print all labels in one go. Use the included CSV template, fill it with your own tyre data and import the file directly into the app for quick and smooth printing.

Administration and settings

On the Administration page you can configure the app to suit your workshop:

• Change language: Choose the language for the app interface.
• Choose print mode: This controls how the app communicates with your label printer.
  • Automatic mode (ZPL): This is the recommended and easiest option. The app uses ZPL (a “language” specifically made for label printers) to automatically handle settings such as rotation and size. This saves time and reduces the risk of errors.
  • Text mode: Choose this option only if the printout doesn’t look correct with the automatic ZPL mode (for example if the text is misplaced). You need to set the size, etc., yourself in the printer’s print settings.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Problems with your printouts? Here are the most common solutions.

“No labels are printed at all.”

• Check that the printer is switched on and that no error lights are lit.
• Restart both the app and the printer.
• Try printing a test page from Windows to confirm that the printer works.
• Try printing as text instead of ZPL. Change this in the Administration settings.

“The text is skewed or cut off.”

• This is almost always caused by incorrect printer settings.
• If you use Text mode: go to the printer settings in Windows and make sure the paper size (label size) is set correctly.
• If you use ZPL mode: try recalibrating the printer.
