Installing Tardy Pass Printers
This chapter guides the installer through the installation process for the various Tardy Pass printers that
can be used for Verify.Net and includes:
• Listing of compatible Tardy Pass printers
• Instructions on how to install printer drivers
• Post printer driver installation instructions to enable printing in Verify.Net
Before starting on any procedure in this chapter, ensure you are logged in as a computer admin. In most
cases this is the ‘techco’ user account for the local machine. Please contact the tech coordinator of the
school for this information.
Additionally, make sure that Deep Freeze, Fortress, or any other security software is disabled. Installing
printers and software while security software is active can cause error messages or a complete reversal of
the installation process on a computer reboot.
Supported Printers
Verify.NET is capable of sending a print job to any printer that has a windows driver (shows up in
Windows XP Control Panel / Printer and Faxes). Although support is not guaranteed for all printers, the
following printers have been tested to successfully print a tardy pass:
• Star Micronics TSP143U – Driver is on CD that came with printer. To download,

Determining Printer Model
Star Micronics printers come in classes: TSP100, TSP200, TSP600, etc… Each class has a particular
model number, depending on the features (partial cut, full cut). To determine your printer model, look on
the box that the printer came in or on the bottom of the printer. On the bottom of the printer there
should be a model number in smaller text. For example, the TSP143U will have ‘143U’; the TSP643C
will have ‘643C’. Keep this in mind while installing the software and drivers for your particular model.
Other printer manufacturers will have different modeling specifications. Check with your vendor or
place of purchase for further details.
