Creating a new form

The standard ticket format is designed to print on a blank page with the dimensions 8.5" x 5.5". If you use a laser printer you can print 2 copies of the default on a single page.

 

If you intend to use a dot matrix printer, you will need to configure the printer and create a new form to allow Dispatch to print correctly (in other words, on a half page).

 

Open the Devices and Printers folder.
