Label Printer Setup (Pre V10)

Label Printer Setup (Pre V10)

This article applies to VisitorRego versions prior to V10. For information on label printer setup in V10 or higher, please refer to the knowledge base article Label Printer Setup.

Label Printers are a common component of a VisitorRego system. Visitors are printed a visitor label for easy identification on your site. The label also includes a  barcode , so that the visitor can easily sign themselves out using the barcode scanner.

Drivers for the printer should already be installed. If not, please request them by contacting VisitorRego Support.


To set the correct printer for VisitorRego to print to, follow the instructions below

From VisitorRego's Admin mode, choose Options> System Setup> Printers tab.
 

 


Use the Label Printer drop-down box to choose the name of your label printer and click Apply to hold any changes.
 




There are a couple of options that can be turned on or off via the Printers tab.


Printer Preview
When this is checked instead of printing out a label upon registering, a print preview of the label will be opened in a separate window

Use this Printer as an Emergency Printer
When checked, in the case of an emergency the label printer will be used in place of a standard A4 printer to print the emergency visitor list.

Number of Labels per roll
This allows you to set the number of labels per roll (set by default to 220, the amount of labels on a standard VisitorRego label roll) so VisitorRego can countdown the number of labels left on the roll.

Plain Paper Printer
Choose a plain paper printer to print to instead of a label printer, this may require your VisitorRego system to be joined to your company's network (see: Plain Paper Printer).

Print Directly to Printer
Recommended. This allows the label to print straight away with no print preview.



To configure the printer itself, please see the corresponding article below to finish the setup.
