+ | ====== Receipt Printers ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Receipt printers are attached to circulation workstations. These printers generate paper receipts much like those printed by cash registers. PINES staff do not recommend or endorse any particular printer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Printer Models ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The models that PINES libraries are currently using successfully include: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Epson TM-T88V (Mfg# C31CA85084) | ||

+ | ===== Printer Settings ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Before you begin changing any settings in your browser or inside of the Evergreen staff client, verify that your printer itself (particularly the paper size) is set up correctly by printing a test page. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Browser Print Settings ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | By default, Evergreen will print using the browser' | ||
+ | |||

+ | ===== Automatic / Silent Receipt Printing ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the workstation only needs to print to the receipt printer, and never to another printer, the browser can be configured to default to the receipt printer and auto-print so that the staff person will not have to acknowledge the print dialog box every time a receipt is printed. Or, if you opt to use Hatch, it will handle the silent printing for you and you will not have to modify the browser settings. | ||

+ | ==== Chrome Auto-Print Setup ==== | ||

+ | - Close Chrome completely if it is currently open. | ||
