1 Introduction

CAME Virtual Printer is a web application allowing you to generate customized CAME barcode tickets.

These barcodes can then be printed using your own printer or a desktop printer or can be converted

to a pdf file to be sent by e-mail to your visitor.

2 Components

A complete Virtual Printer installation consists of:

• Virtual Printer Kit containing:

o USB flash drive including the Virtual Printer software and drivers

o One Virtual Printer ID on a PVC card

o One USB serial cable with integrated FTDI chip

In addition to the basic kit, if you want to print the CAME barcode on thermal paper tickets or cards

you need one of CAME’s desktop printers. Contact your supplier for more information.

4 Configuration page

This software contains two pages. One Main Page for daily use and one Configuration Page for the

settings. Click on ‘Configuration’ on the top left of your screen.

Before going further, choose your software language. Go to ‘Options’, click on ‘Edit’,

choose your language in the drop-down box and then click on ‘Save’.

4.1

Printer identities

You now see four menus: Printer identity, Ticket presets, Options, Ticket logo.

• Click on “Add Identity”. You now see:

Fig 03

Virtual Printer requires a unique “Virtual Printer ID” to ensure secured access

control. Contact your supplier in case you can’t find yours.

• Type the Virtual Printer ID code and click on ‘Save’

• By clicking on ‘Print Identity Card’ you can print the ‘Virtual Printer ID’ in a barcode format.

You’ll need this barcode when making virtual links with the PSU2000/PSE2001 units.

• By clicking on ‘Add identity’ again, you can create additional Virtual Printer ID allowing

carrying out a more complex access control policy (see point “Working with more than one

Virtual Printer ID” in this manual).

Make sure that every Virtual Printer ID you use is unique!!

4.2

Ticket presets

Virtual Printer allows configuring a variety of buttons available on the main page. Each line of 6

parameters corresponds to one button on the Main page. Configure these buttons by adapting the

following parameters.

• Name: = the button name that will appear on the main page of Virtual Printer

• Identity: link a specific Virtual Printer ID to this button

• Validity: choose the validity period of time for this button

• Allowed entries: choose the “usage credit” number

119GF51 – ver 1.0 – EN CAME ParkingLine 11/2011

• Print copies: choose the number of tickets to print when clicking once on this button

• Message: add a message that will be printed each time you click on this button

Configure, remove or add virtual buttons by clicking on ‘Edit’, ‘Remove’ or ‘Add preset’.

4.3

Options

Click on ‘Edit’ to change the following parameters:

• Language: choose the software language

• Start & End of office day

• Auto print to ticket printer: activate this parameter when you want to print barcodes using a

Desktop Printer

• Printer model: choose the printer model Virtual Printer is linked too

4.4

Ticket logo

Upload a logo to print on all tickets.

The Virtual Printer software will automatically resize the picture to the resolution

used on the ticket. For optimal result use the standard resolution of 300px wide

by 200px high.

Click on ‘Exit configuration’ at the top left of your screen to return to the Main Page.

5 Main page

5.1

Preset tickets

Using the default configuration described under the point “Ticket presets” in this manual you’ll see 4

buttons on the left side of the main page.

• Click on the first ‘Create’ button in the list. You now see a ticket preview.

If you are using a ‘Demo Identity’ (BCP-PC1-0001), you’ll get a warning message

on top of the preview. Change the Demo Identity into a unique Virtual Printer ID

to exclude the possibility of ticket duplicates.

• Click on ‘Windows printer’ to print the ticket on your own printer

• Click on ‘Ticket printer’ to print the ticket on a Desktop Printer (see point “Options” in this

manual)

• Click on ‘E-mail’ if you want to e-mail the barcode ticket to your visitor

• Click on ‘PDF’ to create a .pdf file of the barcode ticket

Virtual Printer uses the standard Windows default e-mail client to send the e-mail: this

can be Outlook, Thunderbird or any other e-mail software for Windows.

When clicking the E-mail button, a 'New Message' window will open, containing the

barcode ticket as an attachment.

If no window opens you can check if your e-mail client is supported by right clicking on

any file in Windows Explorer, and choosing 'Send by E-mail' in the 'Send-to' menu.

Virtual Printer will use the same settings as Windows Explorer.

5.2

Custom ticket

This section of the software allows a flexible way of creating tickets that don’t fit the Preset Tickets

workflow.

Tickets with a custom value for the parameter ‘Valid starting’ can only be

configured for a maximum validity period of ten days.

• Message: message on the custom ticket

• Allow: number of times this ticket can be used

• Print: number of tickets to be printed

• Valid starting – Valid until: validity window of the ticket

• Identity: choose the Virtual Printer ID to use.

6 Working with more than one Virtual Printer ID

Before reading this chapter, be sure to understand the concept of virtual links

between CAME columns and barcode printers. Please read the General Manual

for details.

6.1

As mentioned under point “Printer identities

You now see four menus: Printer identity, Ticket presets, Options, Ticket logo.

• Click on “Add Identity”. You now see:

” in this manual, Virtual Printer can accept multiple Virtual Printer ID. This allows creating barcode

tickets that are automatically valid for a predefined group of accesses.

Situation:

• One car park with 3 entry points (A, B, C) and 2 exit lanes (Ex1, Ex2), each equipped with

physical access (for instance a barrier).

Problem: Not all parking users have the same access rights to your car park

• Employees have permanent access via A and exit via Ex1

• Subcontractors have access during 10 days via B and exit via Ex1

• Managers have permanent access via A+B+C and exit via Ex1 and Ex2

• Visitors take an entry ticket at C and can exit within 10 minutes via Ex1, without visiting the

reception. In case a visitor stays longer, the reception prints a Single Use ticket valid for 30

minutes on Ex1.

Solution:

• Install PSU2000 units at A, B, Ex1 and Ex2

• Install a PSE2001 unit at C

• Install Virtual Printer connected to a Desktop Printer for cards and a standalone Desktop

Printer for thermal tickets at reception

• Open Virtual Printer and create 3 UNIQUE Virtual Printer ID. We advise to choose a relevant

name for each Virtual Printer ID, referring to the type of users (for instance ‘Employee’,

‘Subcontractor’, ‘Manager’, …)

• Print 3 tickets each representing one different Virtual Printer ID

• Create virtual buttons allowing to deal with the use cases described under ‘Problem’

• Create a virtual link between:

o Virtual Printer ID 1 (Employee) and columns A and Ex1.

o Virtual Printer ID 2 (Subcontractor) and columns B and Ex1

o Virtual Printer ID 3 (Manager) and columns A, B, C, Ex1 and Ex2

o The Desktop Printer for thermal tickets and column Ex1

o Kiosk Printer Identity (C) and column Ex1

• You’re ready to go.
