Having quality, professional tickets that you can give to patrons when they purchase tickets at your box office is always a nice option. Fortunately, Ludus makes thermal printing easy and fast!

If you're unable to buy a thermal printer, no worries! By default, you can print tickets to normal 8.5 x 11 sheets of paper. 

, besides a computer with an internet connection and a web browser, there is no required equipment to use Ludus!

When Thermal Printing is enabled in your account for printing via devices like Boca and STIMARE, there are multiple options for you to choose from:

 — This uses your browser's built-in print dialog to print tickets directly to your thermal ticket printer, ideal for standard 5.5x2-inch ticket stock.

Note: DYMO has discontinued DYMO 450 and blocked support for 3rd party ticket stock/labels in their new models.

The DYMO 450 printer is supported but not recommended if you're looking to purchase a new thermal printer.

If you have a different thermal ticket printer, let us know, and we'll be happy to see if it'll work with Ludus. Most of the time, if the printer supports FGL for printing, it'll work.

How do I enable thermal printing on my account?

If you'd like to enable thermal printing, navigate to 

"Thermal Printing". By default, this will enable the "Basic Printing - Thermal (5.5x2)" option to print using your browser's print dialog. 

If you'd like to enable FGL thermal printing for your Boca via a direct connection using QZ Tray, contact Ludus support with the operating system you'll be printing from (Windows or Mac), and we'll send you instructions.

If you'd like to enable thermal printing for your DYMO, navigate to 

enable "Thermal Printing -> enable "DYMO Printing".
