How to setup Check-in using Firefox on a PC and Mac.

Install Label Printer

1. On a PC go to the Printers and Scanners page, click on the printer, then Manage (in Windows) to set it as the default printer. On the same page, select Printing Preferences to set the default paper size to the size of label you are using (2.4 for Brother Printer). 

Customize Settings In Firefox

1. Open Firefox, log in to Churchteams, and start check-in (Check-in > Start Check-in) with any Check-in view.
2. Pick anyone in a group class or class associated with that check-in view that has labels enabled and click Print. This will open a Print screen.
   1. For Destination, choose your printer.
   2. For Layout/Orientation, choose Landscape.
   3. If not already expanded, click “More Settings” to view additional settings
   4. Choose your Paper size (For Brother printers, choose 2.4)
   5. For Margins, choose Minimum.
   6. For Options, uncheck “Headers and footers” and check “Background Graphics”
3. Click "Print" to confirm it's correct and to save those settings.

Setup automatic printing

1. Once you get a clean print, open another tab and type in "About:Config" in the address bar.
2. Click "Accept the risk and continue"
3. Type in the search bar "print.always_print_silent" and double-click on "false" (or use the icon on the far right side)  to select the value of "true."
4. Switch back to the tab with the check-in system open and try another test print. This time it should print with no dialog box prompt. 

    

5. Once it all runs properly, close out of all tabs and then go to the Churchteams login page. Be sure to click on the white Check-in Login button. Once on this page, click on the three-dash menu in the top corner of Firefox > Settings > Home and Startup > and in the Homepage section under "New Windows" select Custom URLs > and select "Current opened pages." This will ensure easy access for your volunteers when starting up a check-in station on Sunday morning as it will automatically open up to your Check-In login page.
