ONeil 4t Graphics Printing in Solid Route Accounting

Graphic images must be saved in .PCX 1-bit color depth format. The maximum image size for the O’Neil 4” PrintPad is 832 pixels wide, printing at 203 dots per inch. To install graphic images to the O’Neil PrintPad requires the O’Neil Printer Configuration Program and an O’Neil printer configuration cable. If you require assistance with converting your company logos into the proper format, please do not hesitate to contact one of our Client Service specialists.

Installing Graphics to the O’Neil 4t printer

Connect the O’Neil printer to the COM1 on your computer using the O’Neil configuration cable.
Download the O’Neil Printer Configuration Program from O’Neil’s web site. http://www.oneilprinters.com/support_home.php?pageHeader=support&category_id=2. In 'Please Choose a File Type', ensure that the following options are selected:
1. Configuration Program
2. 4t/4te Thermal Printers
This should produce a link at the bottom of the page called 'O'Neil Printer Configuration Program for Desktop'. Click on this link to display a pop-up window, and from this window click on the link 'Oneil V4 164 0001.zip'* to be able to [Save] this file onto a known place on the computer, such as the 'Desktop'.
Now extract the contents of this saved 'ONeil_V4_164_0001.zip'* file, and then from those extracted contents then double click on 'mflash4-ONeil.msi' to begin the installation wizard.
Once installed, double click on the ONeil Configuration Program icon (mflash4.exe) located on your Desktop or Windows Start menu.
When asked to open the configuration file for your printer, which can be done manually by selecting [File / Open], choose from the list provided or click on [Auto Detect Printer] to have the program detect your printer.

*NOTE: The version number in these names, such as '164', may change as O'Neil updates their posted file versions.

Once you have selected or detected your printer, the main O’Neil Printer Configuration screen will appear. Select the [Graphics] tab.
Click on [Add] and open the graphic image you want to print at the top (header) of the invoice. When presented with the “Object Information” window, enter “SIHDR” as the Name. Enter a “Short name” character and “Description” of your choice then click on OK to save to the ‘New settings’ list.
