GoDEX Printer Configuration for Check-In (DT200)
================================================

Before you use Check-In for the first time, you will need to configure your printer settings for the size labels you are using. Depending on your computer, these screenshots may appear a bit different for you, but the settings should be basically the same.

Step 1
    Insert the labels into the printer. The labels roll over the top of the roll, not under.

Step 2
    Calibrate the printer. See a video explanation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5rANXdtgc4

    #. Power OFF the printer.
    #. While keeping the FEED button pressed, tap and release the POWER button to turn the unit on.
    #. When the printer beeps, release the FEED button.
    #. The printer will now measure the label stock and store the label height. 
    #. Once the printer has successfully measured the label stock, it will print a self-test label.
    #. On the back bottom left of the printer, there is a small “C-Button”. While the power is on, hold down this button for 3 seconds. The printer will then perform a calibration on the labels and send out several blank labels. 

Step 3
    Plug the printer into your Windows 10/11 device via the provided USB cable. It will auto-recognize and load the driver.

Step 4
    Go to `Windows Settings > Printers > GoDex DT200 > Printing Preferences > Page Setup` and set the `Orientation` to `LANDSCAPE`.

Step 5
    Go to `Windows Settings > Printers > GoDex DT200 > Printer Properties`.

    #. Give the printer a unique name.
    #. Place a sticker on the bottom of the printer with its name so it is identifiable. (Each printer has a unique ID and is recognized as printer uniquely, even if it's the same model.)

Step 6
    Install and set up the :doc:`CheckInPrintServer`. 

Step 7
    Reboot the computer.
