Playslip Definition Files
The following files have been configured for playslip printing.
If you use them for the free playslip printing program you will have to rename the file to one of the following: Game1.dat through Game5.dat depending on which game you want to use the file for.
For the UltraLott individual programs (including purchased and trial versions) the files should be unzipped to the location where the program reads these files - please refer to running the software in Vista and other versions.
Note that you may need to adjust the printing pattern for each of the boards this is explained in Using Adjust below.
Please keep sending the playslips so games can be configured. No need to send slips for files listed unless the game changes or the layout changes.
Note that the files below should be used with the corresponding lottery program, for example, the Arizona files should be used with UltraLott Arizona.

Important Notes:
- All configuration is done using "portrait" orientation. If your printer cannot feed the tickets in this orientation try "landscape" orientation.
- Some printers have default borders that may not allow printing close to the playslip edges. If this occurs examine the printer properties and see if you can turn off border/margin settings. If not see if there is an option to select something like borderless photo printing paper - this will enable you to print to the edges of the playslip.
- Many printers have different border/margin defaults and the above configurations may not work exactly on your printer. However, the marking pattern will be correct for any printer, all you need to do is use the adjust function (see below) on each Board for main balls and if played bonus type balls to move the pattern to the correct placement. If when you use adjust any values go negative see point 2.
Using Adjust
- First select the game on the main program
- Select File > Ticket Printing > Calibrate
- By default the Main balls for Board A should be selected, if not select it.
- Make a note of the values for Ball 1 (X and Y) before you do any adjustment.
- Put about 20 playslips into your printer.
- Select Print > Current
- Look at where the mark for main ball 1 is printed on Board A, measure in mm how far it needs to be moved up or down to be in the correct place. Do the same for the right/left required movement.
- Using the Adjust option, put the required values in for up/down and left/right and click Adjust.
- Do another test print by selecting Print > Current
- Repeat the steps 7 through 9 until the pattern is printing correctly.
- Click Save.
- Then select Board B and make the adjustment, repeat for all other main ball boards.
- If a bonus ball is used select Configure > <bonus> and repeat the adjustment for all the bonus ball boards.
