For example, you can go directly to Print Tickets using:

 

-tile print-tickets

 

You can start in Unattended Kiosk mode using:

 

-tile kiosk

Default scale name

Instead of selecting the first scale definition as the default, use the scale-name option to use a specific scale definition by it's Name property.

 

Names must be enclosed in double-quotes if they contain spaces.

 

-scale-name Scale3

-scale-name "Scale 3"

Names must be enclosed in double-quotes if they contain spaces.

 

-cardreader-name CardReader2

-cardreader-name "CardReader 2"

Default eI/0 device address

Instead of selecting the first eI/0 device that is located as the default, use the iodevice-address option to select a specific device.

 

-iodevice-address 192.168.2.120

The name value must be enclosed in double-quotes if it contains spaces. The name value may not contain any reserved file name characters.

-settings-folder %UserProfile%\Documents\CanScale\Dispatch 3.2

 

You could store some or all of the setting files on a network drive.

 

-settings-folder \\jerry\Public\CanScale\Dispatch 3.2
