Allow printing of X and Z report to printers other than Receipt

Jul 28, 2005 1 Replies

We just installed MS POS (not RMS) at a small store and think it would be beneficial if we could configure the printers and report content for running X and Z reports. Right now, the fixed default is the Receipt printer but when you run a report, the receipt ends of being about 16 inches long and a lot of the data isn't necessary depending on what time of day you're running the reports. Frankly, it's a waste of paper for not that much information.

You can modify the receipt through notepad to eliminate excess data. We have ours print only the categories that have daily sales in them. It shortened the receipt to say 5-6 inches.
