What Are Travel Tickets?
If a repair area does not have a Data Collect repair terminal, travel tickets may be printed so the technician will receive all the quality information needed to perform the repairs. Travel tickets can be printed from any Data Collect station.
Travel tickets can be printed locally or to any networked printer. If a system has network printers installed on it, the Travel Service will have to be set to log onto the system using a local system administrator account that is also a domain user. Otherwise, the network printers will not be available when the Travel Service is started.
If images are being printed, a maximum of 10 defects will print on one page. If an image has more than 10 defects on it, the image will be displayed on the first page with 10 defects corresponding to defects shown in the table at the bottom of the page. The following page(s) will re-display the same image and will contain the remaining defects both on the image and in the table at the bottom of the page.
Travel tickets are configured in Cockpit.
How to Print a Travel Ticket
