Before You Begin

Before adding an element, ensure you have:

•Created the ticket template and added the printer device and stock preference that you want to work with.

•If you are using a Windows device, install the Windows font that you want to use.

 

Notes About Adding Images to Tickets

If you want to add to images to tickets, note the following:

•If working with an FGL device on a BOCA printer, the image must be a 1-bit PCX file.

 

•If working with a Windows device on a BOCA printer, the image must be a 24-bit colour Windows bitmap file (*.bmp). Ensure the image is dense enough to print in the correct size. For example, if you test with a 203 DPI printer and then use that same image on a 305 DPI printer, the image will print about two-thirds the size you saw during your testing.

•You must define the X-Size and Y-Size when adding images to PDF devices, which must be the same as the actual image size. If the size does not match the actual image size, the application may distort your image. For other devices, do not include the X-Size and Y-Size.

 

Adding an Element

The Tickets|Elements page displays a preview of the ticket based on the device settings. You can use this preview as a guide when adding elements to the ticket.

To add elements to a ticket template:

1.Open General Configuration from the Desktop.

2.Select the Tickets tab.
The Tickets|Search page.

3.Search for and select the template that you want to add an element to.
The Tickets|Basic page appears. The devices are displayed in the devices section. The current device is highlighted for editing.

4.Select the device to which you want to add elements from the Devices list. The current device is highlighted for editing.

5.Select the Elements tab.
The Tickets|Elements page appears.

6.Click next to the Element title bar.
The Element window displays.
Click 'Apply' at any time during the ticket template design process to save your changes.

7.Click 'Add Element'.
Once a template element is visible on the preview image, you can drag and drop it into a new position;  the X and Y coordinates are automatically updated.

8.Complete the element information.

9.Click 'OK'.
As you edit the element, the X and Y details along with any display text appears in the 'existing elements' dropdown.
As you add more elements, you can view the details of an element by clicking the element or selecting it in the dropdown.

10.To add another element to the ticket template, repeat the process from Step 7.

11.Click 'Apply'.
A window confirms that the ticket template was updated.

12.Click 'OK'.
