Printers usage in the UTS Access program

The UTS Access program allows to print  any text from screen, system messages and tickets from Gabriel system. UTS Access use  a Windows  system resources for  printing. To print out it is necessary to relate UTS Access session  with the Windows printing driver.

Any printers or ticketing printers are connected to PC as

• through serial ports COM1-COM4;

• through parallel ports LPT1-LPT4;

• through  network printers;

For  printing, you can use any Epson compatible printers, which provide necessary printing quality. For example, Oki-390FB, Star-7211,  Texas Instruments/Omni/Model 895/895e (TI 895) and so on. You can use native driver or Generic / Text Only driver as printers drivers . Remember, that data format for  a printer driver should be installed as RAW (it is set in the properties of the Windows printing driver). See Texas Instruments TI-895 setup.

UTS Access supports many copy of  tickets mask, which were printed out. At any time you can repeat printing or view the  ticket. For it open menu File -> Auto-Ticket & Blanks from UTS Access.

Tickets printing in the UTS Access program

The scheme of ticket printing in the UTS Access program:

1. After command of preparation  ticket (TPN command)  is typed, UTS Access session with PCPCM PID-type, receive ticket mask. Ticket mask will be written down into the Log file and into ..\Bin\Tickets\ directory and printed out on TKT-printer. If at this time PCPCM session is not open, then ticket mask will arrive to the session when it will be open at next time. In this case, after opening PCPCM session, the ticket will arrive to the session in during 30 seconds approximately.

2. After reception of the ticket, PCPCM session write ticket mask to Log file and into folder ..\Bin\Tickets\ as text file. Ticket file name equal ticket number in the Gabriel system. This tickets will be enabled later from menu File -> Auto-Ticket & Blanks

3. After that, ticket mask will be printed.

4. UTS Access send acknowledgement to the Gabriel system. Gabriel  deletes a ticket mask from Gabriel TKT-queue after reception acknowledgement.

5. If TKT session printer driver was selected as NONE,  then ticket does not printed.

This scheme guarantees tickets reception, storage and printing. In any case, tickets are saved on the disk and they can be printed out repeatedly.

Testing PRN or PCPCM PIDs

The Gabriel system printer  PID (or PRN session in the UTS Access program)  should be configured as   Device type = UVTP in the Gabriel. For testing, type Gabriel command in the terminal session: COMS:TELCON/PID 20138, where 20138 is PID for system printer (HARDCOPY).

The Gabriel PCPCM PID  (or PCPCM session in the UTS Access program) should be configured as   Device type = PCPC  in the Gabriel. For testing, type Gabriel command in the terminal session: COMS:TELCON/PID 20138, where 20138 is PID for PCPCM session.

1. From  Auto-Tickets Banks settings window. Select File -> Auto-Ticket & Blanks from main menu of UTS Access. Select ticket number and printer and click Print button.

2. Type command DGDTEST from Terminal or PCPCM session. In response, Gabriel will create a ticket mask and will send it to PID PCPCM and then to ticket printer. All tickets are stored in the files, in folder ..\Bin\Tickets\.
