Printing Split Times
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.- Split time list allows you to choose your own custom split time list. The Automatic choice makes MeOS select a custom list of different type depending on the class. The Standard choice uses a built-in list with no class results. Other lists are either built-in or user-defined. For such a list, you can select Edit to open the list (or a copy of a built-in list) in the List Editor.
- Printer lets you choose and setup the printer.
- 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.
- It is possible to use different lists in different classes. Then you go to the table for classes, choose to display the column Split time list, and make the setting per class.
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.

MeOS Insight
The page will be scaled so that the text fits. If the competition name is very long the text might become too small. Consider to make the text shorter or use a custom list to re-format or line break as needed.

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.To post a comment, you need to log in.
