TotoPrint Version 2.1 Beta

This is the first program in the World that print TOTO betting slip with your home printer and it is free! The program is written with Excel 2000 VBA. I have configure it to work with Singapore Pool TOTO betting slip.

This program has the following features which you will find it very useful,

Requirement of TotoPrint.xls

You must have Excel 2000 install in your system in-order to use this program. Excel 97 may be able to run, but I have not test this. If you use it, please feedback any problem to me so that I could update it.

When starting the TotoPrint program, a warning dialog will appear as below,

Click on the Enable Marcos button to continue.

You should see the main menu as follow,

TotoPrint - Calibrate Printer

If you are using it for the first time, you have to calibrate your printer to be able to print the TOTO betslip. Every printer has a different setting, so make sure you read the instruction carefully.

Before you start, follow the instructions on the top of the menu. Put an A4 paper into your printer tray. Click on the 'Print' button. You have to notice the printout carefully. Mark an arrow on the part of paper that came first in your printout, this will guide you the flow of the printout. The printer tray is referring to your printer paper tray, look at the red bar, it represent the stationery bar on your printer tray. The black strip is the adjustable guide on your printer tray. The feeding arrow show the paper feeding direction. If your printer is a front loading type, just imaging the turning the whole picture upside down. Tip the correct printer tray.

TotoPrint - Bet Slip Setting.

This is a complicate process. The value in the box may be strange to you, just ignore them  for the time being. The printer calibration would have done some estimated value in the box. For a start, click on the "Preview" button to see the printout on screen. You have to check the button on the top of the preview screen, if the "Next" button is highlighted, then some setting is not correct. The "Next" and "Previous" button should be off. Now the layout of the bet slip should be something similar as below,

The few dash on the left of the picture is the header of the betslip. Usually, you only need to change the value of the Header Gap and Left Margin. Start off with increment of value about 10 points and press the 'Preview' button to view the layout. Fine tune with smaller changes later. If you are sure of the printout, use the TOTO betslip to do a test print. Check the alignment of the black bar whether it falls within the small box around each number. Bear in mind that the TOTO scanning device at the store can read the result correctly when a bar is within the box, not necessary in the middle.

Finally, if you still cannot get your printer to works with this software, I will be available on mobile 93881524.

TotoPrint - WinWheeler.

This version, I have included a WinWheeler that wheel based on the predefine set of rules. There is no guarantee of winning pattern.

You can click on the Wheel No and Wheel Type to change your selection. As you change the Wheel No or Wheel Type, the Number of Board and Investment Cost $ will change to reflect the no of wheel output.

Once you have selected the Wheel No and Wheel Type, you need to key in the numbers in each respective boxes. Make sure the number of boxes you fill in must be equal to the Wheel No you selected.
You can also ask the computer to pick the random number for you by clicking on the Computer Pick button. Once you click on the Wheel It button, a list of number will be generated, an example is shown below.

TotoPrint - Print Wheel Number.

You should print the generated wheeler number before you print the betslip. This is to avoid data been accidentally cleared. Put a blank A4 paper into your printer tray and click on the Print Wheel No button.

After this you can proceed to put the Toto betslip paper into your printer tray and click on the Print Bet Slip button to start.

If you want to use the computer to check your number against the result, you need to save the TotoPrint. When the Toto result is available, you can click on the Check Winning number and key in the result box.

If there is a winning ticket, the data is copy into an area showing highlight hit numbers. You have to quit the Main Menu and you should see the layout as shown below,

Click on the Winning No button and it will bring you to that area showing all tickets that win. The Wheel System Chart is the wheeling system I have define in this program.
