BANNER RECEIPT PRINTING SETUP CHECKLIST

Note: There are two Banner receipt printing programs, TGRRCPT and TGRMISC. Both programs must be defined as separate distinct sleep/wake processes even though they both print to the same receipt printer.

1. Select a name for receipt printer, i.e., pqcashier_01. A real life example is va655_12, which refers to a bldg (VA) & room number (655) but in retrospect that's probably not a good naming convention because of the possibility of office relocation. The name pqcashier_01 will be used in this document.



2. IT Desktop Support: Install & Configure Remote Printer Mgr (RPM)
• Connect Ithaca 90 receipt printer (or compatible) to the parallel port of the PC
• Install RPM software on PC, create a queue named pqcashier_01
• Configure RPM to launch at start up and open the queue pqcashier_01


3. Tech Services: Create Administrative Print Queue
• Create RPM queue pqcashier_01 on Hydra & Blackhole
• Test UNIX printing to RPM queue
• Login into Hydra with SSH
• At UIS:[1] prompt enter 'printer pqcashier_01'
• At UIS:[2] prompt send a test print, i.e., 'lp junk.txt'


4. Banner Data Custodian: Create User Class Objects
• Create two security objects on GUAOBJS, one for each receipt program:
• tgrmisc_pqcashier_01
• tgrrcpt_pqcashier_01


5. Banner Data Custodian: Assign Permissions
• On the user class security form GSASECR, grant maintenance permissions to the user JOBSUBMT for the two objects created on GUAOBJS:
• tgrmisc_pqcashier_01
• tgrrcpt_pqcashier_01


6. Systems Application Manager: Create Links in banner_mods directory.
• tgrmisc_pqcashier_01 -> /wwu/appl/wwis/general/exe/tgrmisc
• tgrrcpt_ pqcashier_01 -> /wwu/appl/wwis/banner_mods/exe/tgrrcpt


7. DBA: Modify script that loads Banner sleep wake process table.
• In the script /wwu/oradb/WWIS/start_bg_procs the following lines would be added:
• /wwu/oradb/WWIS/start_tgrmisc pqcashier_01 10 sleep 1
• /wwu/oradb/WWIS/start_tgrrcpt pqcashier_01 10 sleep 1


8. User: set printer destination for receipts on TOADEST.

Login to Banner and set receipt printing destination to pqcashier_01 on TOADEST:



Viola! Receipt printing should now available on all Banner cashiering forms!


Note - Set up for receipt printing and other sleep/wake processes can be viewed on GJASWPT:
