MF ticketing uses continuous labels, so correct configuration is important to avoid issues like misalignment, continuous feeding, or incorrect label sizing. On Mac, these settings are configured through CUPS (not standard printer preferences).
1. Install and Run QZ Tray (Required)
Before setting up your printer, make sure QZ Tray is installed and running.
QZ Tray allows AccelerList to communicate with your printer.
Download and install QZ Tray
Open QZ Tray
Make sure it is running in your menu bar (top right)
👉 If QZ Tray is not running, printing will not work. More information about QZ Tray can be found here:

Before connecting to AccelerList:
Go to System Settings → Printers & Scanners
Select your Zebra printer
Print a test page
✅ Only proceed if the printer works correctly
3. Enable CUPS Web Interface

sudo cupsctl WebInterface=yes
Press Enter
