Operation
MICROPRINT is compatible with QS-LCDBOX (main display – shown in Figure 1), QSSUMMARYBOX and other models. The communication between the server and the client is via the LAN, so it is appropriate to configure the box with a static IP address. To manage the numbering you can use The Classic Microtouch Console (virtual CLIENT for PC), The serial consoles or WiFi

First Installation

Unpackaging
The installation of MICROPRINT consists of a few simple steps:

  1. Unpackage device and connect the power supply
  2. Hold power button to switch on
  3. Connect the network cable
  4. Wait for the system to boot

Setting up the System

Q-Discovery
Q-Discovery is the Universal Visel tool for configuring LAN devices. It consists of a PC compatible application with Windows 7 or higher operating system. Visel recommends installing Q-Discovery only on the ADMINISTRATOR’s PC, in such a way as to prevent non-workers from tampering with the system configuration.

  • Download Q-Discovery from Download section of www.visel.it
  • Install and launch the application
  • Click on “Search for Devices” to start the configuration

MICROPRINT
MICROPRINT must work with a STATIC IP address.
To configure a static IP follow these steps:

  • Connect a USB mouse to the device
  • Click on the mouse right button to exit from the app
  • Go to the system settings and the Other->Ethernet section and set the network parameters for Static IP.
  • Exit the settings and go to the main menu and wait the launch of the MicroTouch Application

If MICROPRINT is configured correctly, it will be possible to manage its settings through the QDiscovery application.

Telemetry

It allows you to activate, upon purchase and activation of a QS-TELEMETRY license, the sending of real-time data on the services. By clicking this button, you access a secondary screen where you can configure a data target URL and a cyclical time interval.

QS-TELEMETRY working
At regular time intervals, MicroPrint will make an http request by posting a JSON string containing a list of objects with this information.

  • service_name: Service’s name
  • queue_count: Amount of users on hold
  • waiting_time_avg: Average of waiting time in seconds
  • color: Service color
  • id: Service ID
  • last_ticket: Last served ticket

The list will contain as many objects as there are active services and will be encrypted with a default Base64 algorithm. The name of the POST variable in which the data is located is data.

QS-TELEMETRY is compatible from QS-SOFTMICRO version 4.3.0. To activate this functionality on previous models it will be necessary to update QS-SOFTMICRO to at least version 4.3.0 and Q-Discovery to at least version 4.1.6. To activate QSTELEMETRY it will be necessary to purchase a license and activate it by contacting our customer assistance.

Serial Device Management (counter display and tabletop console)
MICROPRINT is compatible with two types of serial devices: the counter Display (QS-CDS3) and the table Operator console (QS-CONS). To allow the use of this hardware on your MicroPrint system you must have also purchased the RS485-RS232 signal Converter, the CONVERTER (Figure 2a). The latter must be connected via a standard 9-pin serial cable included in the package to the serial connector on the bottom of the MICROPRINT.
Figure 4a – RS485-RS232 (CONVERTER)

Service Management
In This panel you can configure up to 12 different queues, the relative numbering and the color that will appear on the slave displays.

  • To enable a service, select the checkbox for the service you want to enable
  • To change name to a service double click on the box containing the name
  • To change the letter double click on the box containing the letter
  • To change the count interval double click on the box containing the number
  • To change the color double click on the Colored box

Service Menu
Selecting a service from the list and clicking on it with the right mouse button will have access to a menu for advanced management, as shown in the following figure: **
Figure 3 – Service Menu

**

Single emission flow FROM- > to
This option indicates that the service will issue a daily ticket of a limited number of tickets. A number of tickets will be printed equal to the difference between the value in column A and that in columnFROM, + 1. For example, we need the butcher service to dispense only 50 tickets every day: we will set up a single emission stream on the butcher service and in the field to enter a value of 1, in the To field we will insert the value 50

Perpetual emission Stream FROM <-> to
This option indicates that the service will perform a cyclic daily ticket issue. The consecutive number of tickets will start from the value in the FROM column. When the counter reaches the value set in column A, the numbering will restart from the value set in the FROM column.

Manage the pronunciation of the service
It may happen that the narrator does not pronounce well the name of a service, such as the acronym CUP (Single Reservation center). Narrator tends to internationalise English terms of common use and, in this case, the pronunciation will be “cap” (Cup/Trophy in English). The solution to this drawback will be to select this item from the menu and type the text “kupp” to correct the pronunciation.

Priority on call
If we need to create one or more files that have a different call priority, we must set a service priority. Placing your mouse on the “Call priority” entry will open a sub-menu with the entries:

  • Low priority
  • Standard
  • High priority
  • Graduated Priority

Let’s analyze the three priorities in blue, momentarily taking part in the Graduated Priority.
If for example we are configuring the system in a pharmacy and we need to create a priority queue for pregnant women, just enable a service from the list, rename it “pregnant women” and set a “high priority”. After the changes are applied, MICROPRINT will call the “pregnant women” service usersuntil the ticket is exhausted, without taking into account the arrival time.
In summary, the priority in MICROPRINT Systems is handled in this way:

  • The tickets belonging to the services with different level priorities will be escaped until queue is exhausted in priority order: high priority, then Standard and finally low priority.
  • Tickets belonging to the services with sibling priorities will be escaped chronologically

Graduated Priority
Figure 3rd – Association of scalar Priorities
Configuration

The last type of priority assignable to services is the Graduated Priority. This particular condition allows to make calls according to a specific directive and helps to regularize the user flows where one or more services tend to accumulate more users queued than the others. Using the Graduated Priority, however, implies these limitations: all MICROPRINT-enabled services must be configured with a Graduated Priority, because this type of priority cannot coexist in the presence of other types (high, Standard, or low priority). The Operator console must be configured in auto-call on all active services.

Immediately after selecting Graduated Priority from the service menu, a second screen will appear from which you can configure theA Call properties:

As can be seen from the window in Figure 3b,
Configuration
with this configuration we tell MICROPRINT that it will have to call 1 ticket of this service and then proceed with the call of other tickets on the next service on which the Graduated Priority is set.
In short, this particular type of priority makes it possible to make calls according to a predetermined ladder, to help dispose of irregular but constant flows over time. In this way we can call 3 tickets of the first service, 2 tickets of the second, 3 of the third and 1 of the fourth. When MICROPRINT completes the call list will be cyclically returned to call 3 first service tickets and so on. If there are no conditions to comply with this ladder, the system will proceed in chronological priority

Weekly opening hours
For each service is In addition possible Configure one or more periods of activity on a weekly cyclical scale. When the service is unavailable, the button in home will display the item “CLOSED” and, clicking on it, MicroPrint will show a pop-up window with the detail of the hours of activity of that service. To configure the weekly schedule, select the service and press the button on the Schedule of activities of the Service:
Figure 3d – Weekly Service Schedule
Configuration

In This example, the “drugs” service is active H24 7 on 7. You can create multiple time bands (always within the week) where medications can be active from Monday to Saturday, from 9:00 to 13:00 and from 15:00 to 20:00. Here is an example:
Figure 3e – Example of multiple hourly scheduling
Configuration

Instead, we put the case in which “drugs” is active only on weekdays in the same time zone and on the weekend on a continuous basis, for example:

Print a report
MICROPRINT has a basic reporting module that allows the printing of statistics directly from the main unit. Then press the button on the Printing the Report:
Figure 3g – Issuing a report with time interval
Configuration

Select the date range and press The Statistics On Print and Then a report similar to the one shown in Figure 3h will be printed:
[Date Range selected] Figure 3h – Report Sample

General Report
This report includes the selected time period, the total of the tickets issued, the total of the tickets served and the total of the estimated lost tickets.
Service Report
This report relates to the individual queues (or services) and includes the total of the tickets issued, the total of the tickets served, the total of the estimated lost tickets and the average working time of the operators who handled this service.
Post Report
This report is relative to the individual workstations (or operators) and includes the total of the tickets served, the average waiting time for the users, the average service time of the operators, the total working time of the operators and the time of Work longer than an operator on a user.

Report Calculation algorithm
The life of each ticket is marked by three fundamental timing:
The ticket’S date/Time
is the time accurately at the millisecond of the time the user picks a ticket which, by convention, we call TE.
The ticket’S call Date/Time
is the time accurately at the millisecond of the time the operator calls the ticket which, by convention, we’ll call TC.
The ticket’S closing date/Time
is the time accurately at the millisecond of the time the operator concludes the service on the aforementioned ticket which, by convention, we’ll call TF.
Given that the “average” values correspond to the arithmetic mean of the elements taken into account, let’s analyze the calculation algorithm for each individual case report:
Estimated lost users
are taken into account all tickets whose difference between tF and tC < = 30 sec.
Waiting Time
Difference betweenTFandTAndof the ticket concerned with the calculation.
Service Time
Difference betweenTFandTCof the ticket concerned with the calculation

Each ticket (even those estimated lost) is considered for the drafting of the report so it will be appropriate, to get more refined values over time, best use the MICROPRINT console and close the service on the last ticket queued (clicking on the button With the “tick” icon in the lower right corner).
You can optionally activate a license of the Advanced Reporting module for MICROPRINT (cod. prod.QS-SOFTSTAT), which allows The MicroTouch Manager software to be installed on the administrator’S PC and has many more features.
For more information ON QS-SOFTSTAT And Microtouch Manager We recommend contacting our sales department.

Reset… (Zeroing counters)
To reset the current sequence number of the service counters simply click on “Reset Micro Touch”. MICROPRINT is also able to reset in a completely autonomous way the counters of the enabled services and will do it to the data change detection.

  8. Service area. Shows the service on which you are operating.
  9. Autocall. Enables or disables automatic calling on all services managed by the station.

Custom Call Automation (Step-Mode)
It may happen to have special needs for the disposal of the flow of users, that is, to want to organize, based on the average turnout on the various services, the mechanics of the calls. A certainly interesting tool is the Step-Mode, which allows you to create a cyclical lineup of calls. To configure the Step-Mode simply enable the “Step-Mode” checkbox and click on the “gear” button to create a step-list.
Configuration

Property Description
“+” button Add a Call Step
Button “wrench” Allows you to change the selected Call Step
“Up” button Moves the selected Call Step to the beginning
“Down” button Moves the selected Call Step to the end
“-” button Deletes the selected Call Step
Call Set all step with Unitary or Priority call mode.

To work in Step-Mode it will be sufficient to enable the Auto-Call on the console and call from the  ticket area by clicking with the left mouse button inside it.
The Step-Mode algorithm in Unitary mode will continue until there are enough users queuing on the services selected in the call steps, otherwise an error message will be shown and you will have to proceed in manual call.
In Priority mode instead, the algorithm makes calls in the Priority level order (1 is the highest level).
If two or more services have the same Priority level, the system advances next in time priority.

The Step-Mode is available from version 2.2 of MicroTouch Counter and is compatible with all versions of QS-SOFTOUCH, QS-SOFTLITE and QS-SOFTMICRO.

Welcome next user (Call)
Figure 8.4 – Next User’s Call

Figure 9 – QS-WCONS

An alternative tool to manage the numbering progress is the WiFi console (COD. prod. QSWCONS). This device looks like the traditional flush console but with the addition of a WiFi module to connect to a router or access point. However, each MICROPRINT system that includes the installation of a WiFi console is also equipped with a pre-configuredAccess Point.

QS-WCONS, thanks to its advanced firmware, allows you to modify your configuration through Q-Discovery.
These consoles are Pre-configured To connect To the default WiFi network Visel Which mirrors this identity:

SSID: visel_air

Troubleshooting

I can’t find MICROPRINT with Q-Discovery
Verify that the MICROPRINT and THE PC You are running Q-Discovery are connected to the same network. If this is the case, check for firewalls on the network.
Q-Discovery does not read or apply settings
It’s most probable that there’s a problem with the bundled FTP server on port 2121 of MICROPRINT. Please contact the customer care.

The printer performs a continuous beep
In the event that the printer emits a continuous intermittent beep, the causes may be:

  • Dirty paper sensor. Wipe with an antistatic cloth slightly moistened with alcohol.
  • Paper compartment not closed properly.
  • Hardware problem in the print logic.

If other types of problems arise, we advise you to contact our telephone support before performing any type of intervention that could create further anomalies.
