Paxton Net 2 - Printing Cards

[mdrabble]

Just had Paxton installed and I am merrily adding staff etc

 

At the moment I am having to go into the card designer to print the badges which is really annoying as I have to click through all the names.

 

On the Net2 Controller software - where you add users etc - there is a print card option.

 

Users have a template assigned to them, but when I click on Print Card - nothing happens!!

 

Currently running the Net2 workstation app on Win10 1803 EDU, and using a Zebra ZXP Series 3 printer.

 

Any help appreciated as I need to add and print the new 6th Form Students on Monday.

 

Cheers

This always gets me. You have to make sure the printer is applied to the card design in Card Designer and then Net2 prints to that printer.

 

EDIT: I think you have to open the design, click the bubble in the top left, go to options at the bottom of that menu and then select the printer. Save the card design and then reopen Net2. Pretty sure this has to be done for each design.

If you have the latest version of Net2 (6.01.8319), according to Paxton there is a known bug with card printing from the Net2 application itself. Currently the only way to print the cards is from the Card Designer as you have found.

 

Apparently they are working on a fix.

Yep I found that out, and reported it to Paxton the week before I needed to batch print cards I had to manually do them all in card designer

 

Mine actually crashes the card print.exe

Same here, instant crash as soon as print is clicked.

Yep - using latest version.

 

So glad I'm not being mentally deficient due to start of term overload due to people's inability to plan.

 

Next quick question - how to I go about getting updates?

Update isn't out yet, but you can always get the latest using http://paxton.info/1438

I had a call from Paxton last night after reporting this bug and was told I was going to be sent the patch but it hasn’t arrived yet.

Link working again and now pointing to 6.01.8526 lets hope this fixes it. Has anyone found a change log or release notes ?

[caffrey]

I've never seen any changelogs, I'll install it and report back

[caffrey]

Yay it's fixed

I made an account just to say you've stopped me pulling my hair out, thank you.
