Limiting reprints from POS Journal

I have a RMS Setup whereby i'm reprinting my receipts through the journal in the POS. The reason i'm doing this is because i have 5 different printers at different locations at which i need to be able to print to from the Cashier PC, i've simply configured the system not to print but to journal receipts and i then go to the journal and print to any one of my 5 windows printers. This scenario is not perfect but it works ok but with one shortcoming.....security - a cashier can reprint a receipt an unlimited number of times. I would like to know if there is anyway in which i can limit a receipt to be reprinted only twice in the POS. While in the POS , if a cashier tries to reprint a receipt more that twice they should be blocked by a managerial password window, meaning that they should have manager rights in the system to proceed. Is what i'm asking for practical, can it happen, if so, how?

Very few things are impossible in RMS. I think you have found one... You could deny cashiers access to the Reprint function using RMS security features, but you can't set a limit on the number of prints. You cannot even use an add-in to do this, as the receipt image is stored as an encrypted blob in the database and MS has not released a process for decoding it - the only way to use the journaled receipt is via the journal viewer itself.

Not sure why you want to limit prints for the cashier - I assume it is a concern over employee theft. Would simply selecting theoption to print "Duplicate Receipt" on reprints help at all?
