...You can also go into "Order Setup" and set "Network Orders" to manual release. This will let make you manually release all network orders before they start printing - helpful if you have a backlog of in-store orders you want to print first... Let me know if you have any questions!
How did you solve the problem where the computer "forgets" how to print any labels for any orders that came in during your off hours? Mine is doing exactly that. Anything that comes in after I leave and before the computer does a self reboot, it will not print a single label for those orders. Anything after its midnight reboot works fine.
Also, some "unofficial" stuff for you to play with:
4 x 6 Greeting Cards (some of us could have used this a month ago): It's under one the Settings menus. Does exactly what it says, creates said size greeting card, sends it to the 4 x 6 printer. I had to use this when our supplier goofed and couldn't send us 8810 printer kits fast enough. Zebra labels should print with the 44 cent price, but uses the All-Nine DPCI.
6 x 8 Prints / One-Sheet Calendars / Collages: Prints through the 7000 (even 6800) printer. That's the size of each color on the thermal ribbon. (2x 4 x 6 prints). We could also do greeting cards but we don't get envelopes big enough. No price, and products use 999 DPCI.
I'm curious to see if I can re-enable 8 x 12 prints with the longer 8810 printer kits.
Under another setting (its my day off today, I'll get the paths later on), you can enable it to ask the guest if they want the old-timey white borders. It will prompt before media selection. I used to be able to do this on the wet lab's computer, but the APEX doesn't let me fiddle with orders unless I have it set to Preview mode.
Some things you might want to invest in for your lab (wet or dry).
1) Apple iDevice cable for 4S (and similar connectors). Guests don't usually have their cable, and the one I got paid for itself twice in the first week after I requisitioned it with guests that came in and asked "Can I get pictures from my iPhone?". I had one guest use his iPad and it worked too. Consider getting the adapter for iDevices with the new Lightning connector.
2) Spindle of blank CDs. For the guests that didn't finalize their CD-RW or "It worked correctly at home!" CDs, or just if your kiosk isn't playing nice with their media. I've saved a few orders this way that would have walked away. You could just as easily use a flash drive or a memory card, but I can give the CD to the guest to give them the peace of mind that I don't have their images to do dastardly evil corporate shenanigans with when they leave.
3) Micro SD card reader / Micro-to-Normal SD adapter. When Bluetooth just isn't going to cut it (like when they want to save all 1059 images from their phone).
4) 2 Stylus pens / pencils with rubber erasers. "The screen doesn't work!"
*POKE SLAM*, or for when they can't grasp that the touch screen interface is nothing like the iPhone and continue to touch the screen too gingerly.
5) Highlighters. Nothing is more annoying than all internet order tickets printing as
FIRST NAME;
last name. Also for the occasion when you have 3 separate guests with the same last names (and sometimes firsts).
