+Configuring Receipt Printers
+============================
+
+The following instructions are for specific receipt printers, but can
+probably be used to help with setup of other brands as well.

+In the Print Driver
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For these instructions, we are using version 5,0,3,0 of the Epson
+TM-T88III print driver; the EPSON TM-T88IV version is ReceiptE4.
+Register at the `EpsonExpert Technical Resource Center
+website <https://www.epsonexpert.com/login>`__ to gain access to the
+drivers; go to Technical Resources, then choose the printer model from
+the Printers drop-down list.
+
+Click Start > Printers and Faxes > Right click the receipt printer >
+Properties:
+
+- Advanced Tab, click Printing Defaults button
+
+- Layout Tab: Paper size: Roll Paper 80 x 297mm
+
+- TM-T88III: Layout Tab: Check Reduce Printing and Fit to Printable
+ Width
+
+- TM-T88IV: Check Reduced Size Print; Click OK on the popup window that
+ appears. Fit to Printable Width should be automatically selected.
+
+- OK your way out of there.
+
+.. _in-firefox-1-label:
+
+In Firefox
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Under File > Page Setup:
+
+- Shrink to fit page on Format & Options tab
+
+- 0,0,0,0 for Margins on Margins & Header/Footer Tab. This makes the
+ receipts use all available space on the paper roll.
+
+- Set all Headers/Footers to -blank-. This removes all of the gunk you
+ might normally find on a print from Firefox, such as the URL, number
+ of pages, etc.
+
+- Click OK
+
+Set the default printer settings in Firefox so you don't see a "Print"
+dialog:
+
+- Go to File > Print
+
+- Set the Printer to the receipt printer.
+
+- Click the Advanced (or Properties) button
+
+- Layout Tab: Paper size: Roll Paper 80 x 297mm
+
+- TM-T88III: Layout Tab: Check Reduce Printing and Fit to Printable
+ Width
+
+- TM-T88IV: Check Reduced Size Print; click OK on the popup window that
+ appears. Fit to Printable Width should be automatically selected.
+
+- OK your way out, go ahead and print whatever page you are on.
+
+- Type about:config, in the address bar. Click "I'll be careful, I
+ promise!" on the warning message.
+
+- Type, print.always in Filter.
+
+- Look for print.always\_print\_silent.
+
+ - If the preference is there then set the value to true.
+
+- If the preference is not there (and it shouldn't be in most browsers)
+ you have to add the preference.
+
+ - Right click the preference area and select New > Boolean
+
+ - Type print.always\_print\_silent in the dialog box and set the
+ value to True. This sets the print settings in Firefox to always
+ use the same settings and print without showing a dialog box.
+
+ **Warning**
+
+ Setting the print.always\_print\_silent setting in about:config
+ DISABLES the ability to choose a printer in Firefox.

+
+Installing the Printer
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+While the following comments are based on the Star SP542 receipt
+printer, they probably apply to all printers in the SP5xx series.
+
+The Star SP542 receipt printer works well with Koha and **Firefox on
+Windows XP SP3**. This printer, with either the parallel or USB
+interface, is fairly easy to install and configure. You will need the
+following executable file which is available from numerous places on the
+Internet:
+
+linemode\_2k-xp\_20030205.exe
+
+This executable actually does all of the installation; you will not need
+to use the Microsoft Windows "Add Printer" program. We recommend that
+when installing, the option for the software monitor not be selected; we
+have experienced significant pauses and delays in printing with it.
+Instead, simply choose to install the receipt printer without the
+monitor.
+
+Additionally, the install program may not put the printer on the correct
+port, especially if using the USB interface. This is easily corrected by
+going to "Start -> Printers and Faxes -> Properties for the SP542
+printer -> Ports", then check the appropriate port.
+
+A reboot may be required, even if not indicated by the installation
+software or the operating system.
+
+**Windows 7** users should refer to this page:
+http://www.starmicronics.com/supports/win7.aspx.
+
+.. _configuring-firefox-to-print-to-receipt-printer-label:
+
+Configuring Firefox to Print to Receipt Printer
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+- Open File > Page Setup
+
+- Make all the headers and footers blank
+
+- Set the margins to 0 (zero)
+
+- In the address bar of Firefox, type about:config
+
+- Search for print.always\_print\_silent and double click it
+
+- Change it from false to true
+
+ - This lets you skip the Print pop up box that comes up, as well as
+ skipping the step where you have to click OK, automatically
+ printing the right sized slip.
+
+- If print.always\_print\_silent does not come up
+
+ - Right click on a blank area of the preference window
+
+ - Select new > Boolean
+
+ - Enter "print.always\_print\_silent" as the name (without quotes)
+
+ - Click OK
+
+ - Select true for the value
+
+- You may also want to check what is listed for print.print\_printer
+
+ - You may have to choose Generic/Text Only (or whatever your receipt
+ printer might be named)
