How to print
There are several ways to print your tickets in Last Yard. You can print a single department batch on the dashboard:
You can select several (or all) print batches and use the ‘Bulk Action’ dropdown to select print:
You can also print from inside a batch with ‘Print All’ Or ‘Print Selected’:
If you haven’t yet set up Cloud Connect printing (see our Quick Start Guide on your dashboard for more info) you will be prompted to use your web browsers print interface.
We recommend using Google Chrome for Last Yard so all the following screenshots will be based on this.
You’ll first see the template properties option box which allows you to set the start position of your tickets. If your print batch includes multiple templates you can select each from the dropdown box. If no changes to print start position are required, simply click ‘Next’
After clicking print you will be prompted to load the correct paper to match the templates selected in your print batch. Once checked, click continue:
The print job will then render a PDF ready for printing:
Finally the Print dialogue box will open allowing you to select the destination printer, colour and importantly under the ‘More Settings’ dropdown the paper size and scaling.
For printing to fit your paper stock you will need to make sure the paper size is set to A4 and the Scale is set to default.
You will only need to check this once on a specific output printer as the default you set will then stay in Chrome.
Then click print and you’re off!
