Printing Split Times

Updated: 2019-05-13

The check box Print splits automatically on the page SportIdent means that MeOS will print a page with split times as soon as you read out a card. You can print to any printer, including a special receipt printer. MeOS will adapt the format of the print to the shape of the paper. Use the button Print Splits to configure the printing and to choose and setup the printer.

Printer lets you choose and setup the printer.
With split analysis means that MeOS makes a preliminary analysis of lost time, which is presented as time lost per control. This analysis will be more accurate when several competitors has finished.
Include tempo shows the competitors tempo (min/km) if the course length is available. If individual leg lengths are available (when courses are imported from a course setting software, they typically are), MeOS also
prints the tempo for individual legs.
Custom text lines lets you define custom lines that are printed below the splits. You can also insert dynamic / computed values, by adding a symbol within a bracket, for example: Please pay: [RunnerFee] (Which could result in the output Please pay: 5€. Available symbols are shown in the list to the right.

You can also print split times manually. Find the competitor on the page Competitors, and click Print Splits.

Hint
If you use a receipt printer, take care to setup the correct paper format, for example 72mm x Receipt. Sometimes you have to look deep into advanced printer settings to find this setting; this varies with printer model and operating system. If you happens to print with A4 setting, the typical symptom is miniature text, like a shrunk A4.

Using a Standard Printer

If you prefer to print split times on A4 or a similar standard format, optionally with several runners on each page to save paper, mark Times in columns (for standard paper). You can also specify to collect several cards on the same sheet (Maximum number of cards per page) and give the maximal waiting time (Longest time in seconds to wait for the printout). If this time is reached, the print is made even though the number of read out cards waiting for a printout has not yet reached the specified number.
