You can for example create a Pingen printer and use it for reminders that are in a certain dunning level and that should be sent as registered mail or via post. More information can be read under the Print Documentation and the Dunning Documentation.
An overview about the printed documents can be viewed under Space > Printers > Print Job. Here you see the status of all documents.
It can happen that there are issues with your documents because they do not fulfill the requirements to be sent and processed by Pingen.
In case the status of the print job does not switch into the Successful state you have to investigate what needs to be changed on your
document in order to be printed.
To do this login to your Pingen account and navigate to Letters. Here you see an overview of the printed letters.
In the Status column you can see the state of the letter. More about the Pingen statuses you can read in this link.
