Slip Printer Set-Up


Getting Started Overview Information Guide -> Slip Printer Set-Up

A Slip Printer can be setup to print cash slips in place of the full invoice documents.
These can be triggered automatically from Point Of Sale Invoices. The Cash Slips will print on blank paper using a 40 character serial slip printer.

In the Printer Codes table, codes can be entered for the global slip printer cut-off and for the cash drawer feature.
This applies to Printer Type WIN-CRT for Windows systems.

To activate the Cash Slip feature a Slip Printer must be setup for the division in the Divisional Printing Parameters or in LINUX a Slip Printer can also be setup for the operator in Operators.
In LINUX any operator slip printer would be used before the default division printer.
In the Windows GUI environment any slip printer information in Operators is ignored. Instead the slip Printer is controlled by workstation or terminal, as explained below.

Note: The slip printer invoice does not utilize the alternate language feature.

The Slip Printer setup in Divisional Printing Parameters or in Operators is as follows:

LP#
Enter the LP# which corresponds to the physical connection of the Slip Printer on your system. Call Texada Support for assistance to determine this.

SLIP DEVICE NAME
Enter the Printer name or select it from the window.
In LINUX (Green Screen) the general printers are setup in System-Wide Printers.
The slip printer does not have to be setup in System-Wide Printers and by not including it in System-Wide Printers, it will not be displayed in the printer selection window, and so the slip printer can not be accidentally selected for printing reports, etc.
In Windows environment, the Slip Device name must be set to CRT.

SLIP DEVICE TYPE
For LINUX systems, enter the correct device type or select it from the window.
Windows systems must be Type 5.

SLIP PRINTER CODE
Enter the code for the Slip Printer, which is the LINUX printer name. Call Texada Support for assistance to determine this.
Windows systems must be set to WIN-CRT.

LINES TO ADVANCE BEFORE CUT
Press <ENTER> or 4 to set the printer to advance 4 lines to the tear off point, after printing the invoice, or enter the correct number of lines to adjust your slip printer.

WINDOWS SLIP PRINTER
Type Y (YES) if your Slip Printer should print through the Windows Print Manager.

WINDOWS FONT SIZE
Enter the Windows Font Size to use. (e.g. 32)

Slip Printer setup on Windows Desktop
The Slip Printer must first be added to the Windows Desktop on each terminal that is to use a Slip Printer.
Then in the SRM Printer selection window the Slip Printer must also be flagged on each terminal as outlined in Printer Selection.

A global cut-off code and a cash drawer code can be entered for WIN-CRT in Printer Codes.
If a specific slip printer differs from this standard, then in the Slip Printer setup process, click on the "Advanced" button after flagging the Slip Printer.
Enable the Advanced Options, and enter the preferred Code for Cut Off and the preferred Code for Cash Drawer, and click OK.
