Printer setup

Printer setup is needed for each workplace that should connect to a printer. The setup differs depending on printer.

Star TSP100 printer

Drivers

  1. Install the printer device drivers that you find at https://starmicronics.com/support/products/tsp1000-support-page/.
  2. Go to the tab Drivers and click the recommended driver.
  3. Click the Full version driver to download. Unzip the file, and go to Windows > Installer > Setup_x64 if you have a 64 bit computer (most common), otherwise use the setup file.
  4. Double-click and install the driver. If the driver does not show up after completing these steps, try rebooting the computer, or reinstall the driver.

In Windows

  1. Open the Control panel, go to Devices and Printers and find the printer.
  2. Open the printer properties.
  3. On the Device settings tab set the following:
    FRICTION: 72mm x Receipt
    Paper Type: Receipt
    FRICTION: 72mm x Receipt
    Page Cut Type: Partial Cut
    Document Cut Type: Partial Cut
  4. On the General tab click Preferences….
  5. On the Layout tab click Advanced and make sure Paper Size is 72mm x Receipt.
  6. On the Paper/Quality tab set Paper Source to FRICTION.
  7. Click OK to save changes.

When printing a slip, check that the paper size in the printer options in Chrome is also set to 72mm x Receipt. The print preview will show a very long slip but it will print-out correctly.
