Tip to Pawnbrokers on handling printers within the PawnMaster system

Here is a helpful tech tip to any Pawnbroker handling a new printer within the PawnMaster system. If you are a PawnMaster user and you want to move your printer to a new computer or you buy a new printer and need to add it to your system.
Note that printer drivers need to be installed since they are not plug-n-play. This is true for report printers such as Laser printers, Dot-Matrix for Inventory, the Datamax Jewelry printer, and the Star printer for receipts. You will need to go into PawnMaster and reassign the new printer. You may want to rename the printer job it will be performing to make it easier and less confusing when reassigning, i.e. Dell – Tickets, Datamax – Jewelry, Dot-Matrix – Inventory, etc. Lastly set page sizes if applicable. You can always contact Data Age technical support for assistance if needed 727-582-9100.

Depending on the state ID, they may use different abbreviations other than
what is set in  PawnMaster by default. If scanning an
ID in  PawnMaster doesn’t pull a certain
characteristic field, add that description to PawnMaster customer
characteristics exactly how it displays on the ID.

Example: scanning ID doesn’t pull up eye color in PawnMaster. Eye color on ID is BRN the
default in PawnMaster is BROWN. Add BRN to system. Then PawnMaster will then
pull the info correctly.
