[SML] Ticket printing

[Carl Underwood]

We have been using Tix.com for about 13 years very successfully. They do
require the investment or rental of a ticket printer such as one made by
Boca
​ that speaks the FGL or similar page description languages.​
​

​According to their web site, you can also use a Dymo printer as follows:

Using a Dymo LabelWriter450/turbo for Ticket Printing

Using the Dymo LabelWriter with Tix is simple.

Before you can use the Dymo LabelWriter with Tix, it must be installed on
your computer.
The Dymo website has more information on the installation procedures.
http://www.dymo.com/en-US/labelwriter-450-label-printer

For ticket printing, we recommend using  *30374 Business/Appointment Cards,
White, 2" x 3 1/2. *

Contact your Tix Account Manager to request that a DYMO ticket format be
added to your account

Printing with the Dymo  is compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer,
Mozilla FireFox and Google Chrome.

Below are the recommended settings to allow for proper printing.

Google Chrome
settings located under *"More Settings" *on the "Print" screen
