Chapter 10: Install and Configure the Software 75
A summary table of the meaning of the various printer models is as follows:
Open & League Scoresheet.
Model
Description
0 Draft / Generic
This setting will print the scoresheets by printing directly to the printer port,
without any formatting. This is used mainly for older Dot Matrix printers.
1 Standard Windows
The Standard Windows setting is the one that is most commonly used by all
Laser printers and is the recommended setting. It uses the Windows printer
driver and print spooler to handle all aspects of the print job.
13 LX300+
The remaining settings use the Draft / Generic method of printing directly to the
printer port, the difference being the number of lines left before the first scores
are printed. These are designed to be used with pre-printed, continuous paper
scoresheets. The different number of lines suits the various models of Epson
Dot Matrix printers described.
14 LX300
15 LX100
16 LX850
Receipt Printer.
Model
Description
Draft / Generic
This setting will print the receipts by printing directly to the printer port, without
any formatting. This is used mainly for older Dot Matrix receipt printers.
Standard Windows
This setting uses the Windows printer driver and print spooler to handle all
aspects of the print job. If this option is used, you are able to create your own
header and footer graphic which will appear when the receipt is printed. These
files need to be stored as:
P:\PROGRAMS\REPORTS\RECEIPT\RECEIPT HEADER.JPG
and
P:\PROGRAMS\REPORTS\RECEIPT\RECEIPT FOOTER.JPG
See the online help manual for more information.
Epson B&W Printer
This setting is used of older Epson Dot Matrix receipt printers. It includes
paper cut, but not commands for red text from a dual color ribbon.
Epson Color Printer
This setting is used of older Epson Dot Matrix receipt printers. It includes
paper cut, as well as commands for red text from a dual color ribbon.
Star POS Printer
By selecting this option, the software will use the command set used for the
Star Receipt printer emulation. Some older Dot Matrix receipt printers support
this command set.
Citizen IDP 3210
This citizen Thermal Printer does not quite support the ESC POS command
set. It uses a custom command to cut the paper and pop the cash drawer.
Select this option only if you have this printer.
Citizen IDP 3530
These settings use the various Citizen command sets used by the different
Citizen brand Dot Matrix receipt printers. As you can probably tell, in the past,
receipt printers suffered from a lack of coordination of command sets amongst
the various manufacturers.
Citizen IDP 3541
Citizen IDP 3551
ESC POS
ESC POS (Pronounced Escape POS) is a unified command set that most
manufacturers support in their current range of printers, especially thermal
receipt printers. It is highly recommended to use a thermal printer that
supports ESC POS emulation and the ESC POS setting is the most commonly
used setting.
