How do I print door tickets?
Below you will find the print settings if you print door tickets with a Boca printer. After the driver and printer are installed, set up Chrome to print as effectively as possible. The settings for Windows and Mac OSX are not the same.
How do I print with Mac OSX?
Do not use Chrome's print screen, it does not work well with this format.
In the Chrome print screen, choose "print using system dialog" / "Print using system dialog". Here you select the correct printer (BOCA) and the paper size 6x3.25in.
Do you not want to see the Chrome print screen? Go directly to the print screen of your Mac. Read here how to do that.
How do I print with Windows?
Open Chrome, click on the three dots below each other in the top right corner and choose “Print” (CTRL-P).
Then choose "Landscape" under "Layout" and click "More Settings" to select "None" under "Margins". Set "Paper Size" to "Ski" (Windows) or "BOCA 6x3.25in" (Mac OSX).
Now print a ticket in Stager, to make a test print.
How do I adjust the ticket?
With some combinations of browser and operating system, you have to reduce the print. This can be done via the System dialog box. Another way to get the ticket to fit is to change the Margins in Google Chrome.
Select "Custom" for margins in the print window and drag and adjust the margins on your screen, until the ticket can be printed correctly.
How do I set up my receipt printer for door tickets?
The Stager ticket is designed for a Boca printer. By adjusting settings, the ticket can also be made suitable for a receipt printer.
Install the driver before connecting the printer!
Step 1. Install the driver
Download the drivers from Starmicronics. Choose the right driver for your printer. Run the Windows installer (the installer will take a while).
Step 2. Configure the printer
Connect the printer with the USB cable. The printer will be set up by Windows. Then go to Settings - Devices - Printers & scanners.
Check if the printer is “Default”. If not, right click and choose “Set as default”. Then click on the correct printer and choose Manage - Printing preferences.
In the next window choose Orientation “Landscape”. Then click on “Advanced” and in the next screen choose “72 mm x 200 mm” under Paper size. That "200 mm" sounds a bit strange, but it's not really relevant to the length of the receipt. Please choose this setting!
Step 3. Print Settings for Chrome
Open Chrome and choose “Print” (Ctrl+P)
Then choose “Landscape” under “Layout” and choose “None” under “Margins”. Now print a test ticket in Stager.
