The Receipt Printer tab in Options
If you go into Management
Then Options
The first tab is all about the way the receipt prints out
The printer Type is a dropdown box that lets you choose the type of printer you have and affects the size of font, printing reversed or the cashdrawer if it is connected to the printer. Most printers can be set as "Epson Thermal".
The Top Gap if it is set as 99 won't pre print any information. If it is set for any other number it may be using less paper but is a matter of trail and error and balancing with the bottom gap to get the right setting for your printer.
The cutter option is a drop down the has a choice of None, Partial or Full. None doesn't cut, Partial Cuts but leaves a tiny bit of paper connecting so the paper stays connected if the printer is somewhere not attended the paper doesn't fall on the floor. Full cuts the paper completely.
The Receipt Text options are the text that prints so you know what order type it is. There is also a tick box here to choose whether to print something in red if you have a 2 colour printer or reverse if you have a thermal printer.
The red printing section lets you choose to print something in red if you have a 2 colour printer or reverse if you have a thermal printer.
The VAT section lets you chose how to print the VAT on the receipt.
The double height and Wide printing let you choose things to print either wider or double height. If you choose food items to print Wide as they take up more space on the receipt the description will be smaller.
The Print Receipt section is full of options that change the way the receipt is outputted.
The Omit from receipt section has options that will leave things off the receipt.
