Off-Brand Thermal Printer Setup on Mac (MF Ticketing Labels | AccelerList Guide)

Since AccelerList does not directly support all printer brands, this setup uses a Dymo workaround + CUPS configuration to ensure your printer works correctly.

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. To guide you about QZ Tray, please click the button below

2. Confirm Your Printer Works on Mac

Before connecting to AccelerList:

Go to System Settings → Printers & Scanners
Select your printer
Print a test page

✅ Only proceed if the printer works correctly

3. Rename Printer to “Dymo” (Required Workaround)

To allow AccelerList to recognize your off-brand printer:

Go to System Settings → Printers & Scanners
Select your printer
Rename it to: Dymo

👉 This step is required for off-brand printers to work with AccelerList

4. Enable CUPS Web Interface

Open Terminal
Enter:
```
sudo cupsctl WebInterface=yes
```
Press Enter
Enter your Mac password if prompted

5. Open CUPS Printer Settings

Open your browser
Go to: http://localhost:631
Click Printers
Select your printer (Dymo)

6. Enable Continuous Label in CUPS (Important)

In CUPS:

Click Administration
Select Set Default Options

Set the following:

Media Size / Paper Size: Match your label (Dymo 30270 or equivalent)
Media Type: Labels
Enable Continuous / Continuous Feed / Continuous Wide

⚠️ Important:

This must be configured in CUPS, not in Mac printer preferences
Incorrect setup may cause:
- Continuous feeding
- Misaligned labels
- Printing errors
