Receipt Problems (Comments)

Hi there

My second attempt with a bit better spelling/grammer

I am trying to get item comments to print in a 40 column receipt format (just like they do in full page receipt formats).

I have gotten it as far as showing the comments under the item description but the comments get cut off after 23 characters (or the end of the column within the table). Is there a way for the comments to continue on a new line?

Here is the code I am working with. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated?

============================ Transaction Details ============================--> Transaction.Type transactionDrop & Transaction.Type transactionPayout & Transaction.Type transactionNoSale & Transaction.Type transactionAccountPayment "Small" tbNone "~" PageWidth * 0.29 "Amount" "================|=========================|=================" ShowLineDiscounts & (Entry.ExtendedDiscountPurchased 0) Entry.Item.ItemLookupCode "|" Entry.Description "|" Entry.ExtendedFullPrice "|" Entry.comment "|" Entry.ExtendedDiscountNegative 0 "|Discount|" Entry.ExtendedDiscountNegative Entry.Item.ItemLookupCode "|" Entry.Description "|" Entry.ExtendedPrice "|" Entry.comment "|"

Are you using windows or OPOS drivers? If OPOS it won't wrap to the next line, and if it's getting cut off in the middle of a word, most likely the word is so long it would have to wrap to show the whole word. And that will only work with windows drivers. Craig

I am doing my trouble shooting on an HP Laser Jet (which i believe has windows drivers but i could be wrong). When I use the "full page" reciept format (generic report that comes with RMS) it prints the item comments and continues to the next line when it runs out of space on the current line. This is what I am also trying to achieve in the 40 Column Reciept format, but am stumbling at the comment being cutoff instead of continuing on the next line.

If it is a driver issue and not a code issue than why does the full page report do what I need but not the 40 column report?

Thanks for your help on this.

Craig..here is another part of the report i am working with...I do see that there is OPOS code in the page settings area of the script. This code is not in the "full page" reciept script. Could this be where my problem is?

The full page printer would be using windows drivers that don't have the same limitations as receipt printers using OPOS drivers. So that could be the difference. You need to see if your receipt printer is using OPOS drivers or not. If it is, OPOS won't wrap to the next line, which means you will lose part of the description. Craig

With Windows drivers, the tilde in the ALIGNMENT property prevents line wrap. Removing it allows line wrap. "~"

Thanks Marc for the more detailed explanation on windows drivers, just keep in mind it will not work with OPOS drivers. Craig
