This article explains how Bepoz supports printing and magnetically encoding Member cards, Operator cards, Vouchers and Tab (table) Cards.

A supported printer must be used.

Prerequisites
  • The Driver for the printer must be loaded onto the workstation and configured fully. Ensure the Colour/Black Only setting is correct. Also check that encoding is enabled (if present in the printer)
  • A new device Card Printer must be added to the workstation where you wish to print from (Network printing is supported). The exact Printer name must be set. If the printer is incorrect, when a print is attempted, a list of valid printer names will be displayed
  • Once the Card Printer is detected on the workstation, a new button will appear in both Accounts and Operator Edit Screen.Print New Card
  • This will cause one card to be printed for the currently displayed Account/Operator
  • If an Account Group or Operator Group is displayed, the button will read Print Group Cards
  • If pressed, this will print one card for EACH Account or Operator (except Inactive, or Stop Account or Operators without Operator Till Flag)
Card Layout Files
  • The Layout of the Card is determined by file(s) named:
    • CARDACCOUNT?.TXTCARDOPERATOR?.TXT
    • CARDVOUCHER?.TXT
    • CARDTABLE?.TXT 
  • Where ? is any character or nothing
  • This resides in EITHER the Local Data Directory or the Shared Data Directory as defined in Database.exe
  • The Software will first look in the Local Data directory, then if not found, it will look in the Shared Data Directory
  • This enables different workstation to either use different layouts, or share the same layout
  • This file is a multiline ASCII file delimited with commas

Printers Supported

  • The Javelin 310 and Zebra Eltron P330i has been tested and works fully with this interface
  • This Interface prints to a standard Windows Printer Driver. This means many other printers that use a Windows Printer Driver will print cards with this interface as is without modification
  • However, the Encoding may be different for other printers; thus, any other printers must be tested first
