- Design tip: Keep important elements (eg images, text) away from areas where ticket details are printed to avoid overlap and ensure everything remains readable.
FAQs
Can I use a printer that is not on the list of supported printers?
You can, but:
- ROLLER does not provide support
- You must install and test it yourself
- Template alignment and print quality are your responsibility
Can the wristband ticket template be configured? Can I change what is printed on the wristband?
No. The template is fixed and cannot be customized or edited.
Can I print wristband tickets for only specific session products?
Yes. Wristband printing is enabled per product. You cannot enable or disable printing for specific ticket types within the same product.
Go to the session pass product settings and select the Alternative printer option, then select This product uses ticket printers based on session time. If you don't see this option, reach out to support to enable wristband printers for you.
Can I connect multiple POS computers to the same wristband printer?
Yes, if the printer model supports shared connections.
How is wristband printing configured in ROLLER?
ROLLER prints from POS to a specific wristband printer based on the session’s end time. This applies to all POS devices. Go to Settings > Printers to set up. Learn more
Each session end time must have a printer name configured in Venue Manager for POS to print successfully.
Here is an example that uses different-colored paper for session end times and names them accordingly.
Then, from the session pass ticket in POS, select the print icon to print to the wristband printer.
Can I connect one POS computer to multiple wristband printers?
Yes. Each POS can connect to multiple wristband printers. ROLLER will print to the printer assigned in Venue Manager based on the session end time of the ticket.
Note: You cannot assign printers based on product names or resources — only the session end time determines which printer is used.
