Chapter 18. Printer Set Up

Printer Set Up

The laser printer that you are using needs to be installed twice. The reason for this is that we are going to rename one of the printers for it to print home delivery customer invoices. The other printer that you installed will print everything else and does not have to be renamed.

  1. In the final stages of installation you will be asked to name the printer. Rename the printer CustInvLaserA5NC.
  2. Go to Printing Preferences and alter the paper size to A5 and the Orientation to Landscape.
  3. Go to the MrNews Main Menu and go to Parameters.
  4. You will see a line with InvPrinter. Delete what you have there (it might be blank) and enter CustInvLaserA5NC, exactly as you see it here. You can use the drop down to select the printer name rather than type it in.
  5. In MrNews go to a customer and click on Invoice and preview it.
  6. Go to the Windows Task Bar at the top and click on Page Setup.
  7. Go to Page, Click on Use Specific Printer and select CustInvLaserA5NC.
  8. Click on Printer and select the page as A5.
  9. OK/Apply everything and leave the function.

Load the invoices, face down with the tear of receipt section away from you, print one and it should be OK. (some printers may need the invoices loaded differently) Note: The CustInvLaserA5NC is not the default printer. Do not set it as such.
