Printer configuration
It is not necessary to specify the Axess Printer within Tools > Sales Pt Setup > Printing for Axess Smart Printer only layouts, unless there is a need to specify feeding different types of stock from the hopper for different locations. If the Axess Printer is not specified for Ticket 1, Ticket 2, Voucher 1 or Voucher 2, then the system simply picks the first Axess Smart layout it finds for the item. But, if the Axess Printer is selected for one of the printing options, then Sales ONLY uses the Axess Smart Printer layouts found for that option.
Note: If using the Axess Printer as a simplified Text Merge printer, it is necessary to specify the Axess Printer for the appropriate printing option.
Example:
Group Tickets are always printed/encoded on one-way (non-reloadable) stock and this type of stock is loaded into the hopper at the Group Sales Office. At the Ticket Office, the stock loaded in the hopper is reloadable and is used for all non-pass programs, such as Adult Daily Tickets. On occasion, the Group Sales Office needs to issue Adult Daily Tickets on reloadable stock in addition to issuing the Group tickets on one-way stock.
To accommodate this situation:
1. The Axess Smart Printer layouts for the Adult Daily Ticket items are configured in both Ticket 1 and Ticket 2.
2. The layouts are identical, except that the <Handfeed></Handfeed> value for Ticket 1 is 0 and the <Handfeed></Handfeed> value for Ticket 2 is 1.
3. All Group Ticket Axess Smart Printer layouts is configured in Ticket 2.
4. The salespoints at the Ticket Office do NOT specify the Axess Printer within Tools > Sales Pt Setup > Printing so that the first layout found is used.
5. The salespoints at the Group Sales Office has the Axess Printer specified for Ticket 2 within Tools > Sales Pt Setup > Printing so that salespoints at that location ONLY use layouts configured for that printing option.
