receipt templates - xml

2 Questions:
  1. I'd like to customize some templates but don't know where to start - Is there a Receipt Template/XML customization guide or equivalent that I could download?
  2. My cash drawer is connected to my receipt printer and in order to open it I need to send the ascii string: 27,112,0,25,250 to the printer. Is there an xml command I could add to the receipt template that would write this out everytime a receipt is printed?

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

I'm currently evaluating RMS and don't have access to the Customer Source yet. Could you please post a sample xml snipet that sends ascii commands to the printer so I can verify RMS will work w/ my hardware. Thanks in advance for the help!!!

Check the reports library on Customer Source - IIRC, there is a receipt template that sends ascii commands to the printer. Probably not the commands you need, but it should get you started. There was also an XML Receipt Template guide in the Knowledge Base on Customer Source at one point, not sure if it's still there, but that's the first place to look.

You need to have the RMS Maintenance plan to access Customer Source.

IIRC = "If I Recall Correctly"

OK, apparently I don't recall correctly after all, as I can't find the receipt template I was expecting...

We use OPOS drivers exclusively with RMS. OPOS devices don't require ASCII commands to operate. You can use windows drivers, and some of them have settings in the printer properties that allow you to enter the codes you need rather than editing the XML Template.

If you post your hardware model, maybe someone will have used it before...
