Print User Helper Printing Setup

You can setup printing for the Print User Helper under the File/Print Setup menu. If a printer is not specified in the Print Setup menu, you will be prompted to select a printer when printing from the helper. The selected printed has to have a Microsoft Windows driver installed. Because of the amount of information printed and formatted by this helper, it is recommended that you print to a desktop printer on 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper.

You may find that you can print to a receipt printer from the Print User helper, as long as your receipt printer supports and uses a Microsoft Windows driver; however, the printing may be slower, and the print output may not format correctly because of the smaller paper size.
