MF ticketing uses continuous labels, so proper setup is important to avoid issues like continuous feeding, misalignment, or incorrect label sizing.
1. Install and Run QZ Tray (Required)
Before setting up your printer, make sure QZ Tray is installed and running.
QZ Tray is required for AccelerList to communicate with your printer.
Install QZ Tray
Open it and make sure it is running in the menu bar (top right)
Refresh AccelerList after opening
π If QZ Tray is not running, printing will not work
To guide you about QZ Tray, kindly click the icon below:
2. Open AccelerList in Chrome (Recommended)
Close the AccelerList desktop app (if open)
Open Google Chrome
Log in to AccelerList
Using Chrome helps ensure proper communication with QZ Tray.
3. Open Printer Settings in AccelerList
Navigate to:
βSettings β Printer β MF Ticketing
4. Configure Printer Settings in AccelerList
Set the following:
Active Printer: Brother QL-800 / QL-700
Printer Driver Config: Select available Brother config
Orientation: Portrait
Label Type: Dymo 30270 (Continuous)
β Click Save Changes
5. Set Printer as Default (Mac)
Go to System Settings β Printers & Scanners

Set it as the default printer
This helps AccelerList and QZ Tray detect the correct printer.
6. Enable CUPS Web Interface
Open Terminal
Enter:
sudo cupsctl WebInterface=yes
Press Enter
Enter your Mac password if prompted
7. Configure Continuous Label in CUPS (Important)

Set:
Media Size / Paper Size: Match Dymo 30270 (or equivalent continuous size)

β οΈ Important:
This must be set in CUPS, not in regular printer preferences
Incorrect setup may cause:
Continuous feeding
Misaligned labels
Printing issues
8. Connect AccelerList to QZ Tray
In AccelerList, open printer settings
Select your printer
When prompted, click Allow / Trust
9. Print a Test Label
Click Print Test Label in AccelerList
