6 9 Setting Up TransAct
If a printer will be used, TransAct provides several ticket printer
solutions. Receipt printers, dot matrix printers, and laser printers can
all be used as ticket printers. Use the scroll bar within the Device Type
box to view a list of all available print drivers.
Common drivers are available for ticket printers which produce
receipts similar to what we might receive at a grocery store. Such
drivers include SP2000, SP2200, IDS 150A, Star SP200, and the
Epson TM.
TransAct also provides options for using an already existing Windows
printer, such as a dot matrix or laser printer. To use a printer already
configured for Windows, select Windows Default from the Device
Type list.
It is also possible to send data directly to a printer via the Ticket File.
This option is helpful when printing to custom preprinted forms. Select
Direct to Printer Port to utilize this option. Using this option for a
ticket printer should not affect how reports are printed if they are
printing to the same printer as long as the printer is also defined as a
Windows printer.
Select the communications port (LPT1, LPT2 or COM1 through
COM4) to which your cable is attached. Use the scroll bar in the
Connector box to view all ports and choose the appropriate one.

setting up these devices simple. Unfortunately we cannot list

ticket printer types so we can add the new drivers to later
releases of the software.
