The Print Settings Tab: Printers, Paper Sizes, and Printing Rules

Last updated October 3, 2026 by 3 min read 85 views

In short

Admin Panel → Options → Print Settings controls which printer and paper size each shot type uses, and the printing rules that apply across all of them.

Single Shot, Multi Shot, and Strip Print each get their own printer, paper size and orientation.
Enable printing is the master switch.
Print double strips prints two strips on one panel, so a strip costs a normal amount per print.

Admin Panel -> Options -> Print Settings, with separate Single Shot, Multi Shot and Strip Print blocks, each with its own Printer (DNP DS-RX1 here), Paper size (4x6, 4x6 and 2x6 Strips), Reverse orientation and Rotate 90° before print, and below them Enable printing, Print double strips, Always print 1 extra copy, Let customer choose copies and Maximum prints per session

Per shot type: Printer, paper size, and orientation

Single Shot, Multi Shot, and Strip Print each get their own independent block:

Setting	What it does
Printer	Which installed printer handles that shot type.
Paper size	The paper/ribbon size loaded in that printer (e.g. 4×6, or 2×6 Strips for strip shots).
Reverse orientation and Rotate 90° before print	Correct a print that comes out mirrored or sideways for that printer.

Setting these per shot type means Single, Multi, and Strip prints can each go to a different printer, or use a different paper size on the same printer, without affecting the others.

Printing rules

Setting	What it does
Enable printing	The master switch; turn it off and nothing prints regardless of the settings above.
Print double strips	Prints two identical strips side by side on one panel instead, cut apart afterwards.
Always print 1 extra copy	Adds a spare print to every session, useful for keeping one copy for an album while the guest takes theirs.
Let customer choose copies	Shows a copies picker to the guest instead of always printing a fixed number.
Maximum prints per session	A hard cap regardless of what the guest chooses; 0 means no limit.

Tip: Why print double strips?

Dye-sub printers use a fixed-size ribbon panel that can’t be part-used, so a single 2×6 strip wastes most of a 6×4 panel. Printing two identical strips side by side on one panel, cut apart afterwards, is the standard way strip booths get a normal cost-per-print instead of paying for a full panel each time.

For setting a printer up and its running costs, see photo booth printers.
