Important: Due to the daily server maintenance, Yamato Waybill Issuing System B2 Cloud service will be unavailable from 1:00 am to 7:00 am (JST). You will not be able to create Yamato Transport's shipping label during that period of time.

Note: If you wish to print Yamato Transport Shipping Labels using a thermal printer (label printer), Yamato Transport recommended the following thermal printer:

• Okabe Marking Systems EV426
• Okabe Marking Systems Eta424

Yamato Transport does not guarantee the operation of thermal printers other than the above B2 Cloud recommended thermal printers, so if any words or letters are smudged, or if any other problems arise when printing the shipping label, the successful printing of the shipping label cannot be guaranteed.
