Try Item Messages.

Rob

If you only have 1 receipt printer defined then yes you can setup another printer and print either the same receipt format or a different receipt format.

Or you can try adding the following code to the TransactionDetails section of your receipt. This should add Item Messages to your receipt for each item.

LEN(Entry.Item.MessageText)

"|"Entry.Item.MessageText

Copy and paste the code right above this section of code, its at the end of the TransactionDetails Sub.

In the end your code should look like this: more code above... LEN(Entry.Item.MessageText) "|"Entry.Item.MessageText

Rob Note: If your item messages are long you will want to remove the ~ from the ALIGNMENT section of the Description column at the top of the Transaction Details sub. Otherwise you care instructions will not all appear.

Yes this is because of your OPOS driver.

If you setup a second printer you have three options:

1. Print receipts automatically
2. Print receipts only after prompting the cashier
3. Do not print receipts (if you use this you will want to make sure that you have Journal receipt checked off) What I prefer is to choose number 3 and put a custom button on the pos screen that calls the internal command ReprintLastReceipt. To do this you will need to create the custom pos button by going into SO Manager --> Database menu --> Registers --> Custom POS Buttons. Then create a new custom pos button using the following settings Number = Next available Style = Internal Command Captions = Reprint Last Receipt (this could be whatever you want) Command = ReprintLastReceipt Description = This is a tool tip text that will appear if you place the mouse over the button Save the settings and restart the POS. When you press the button it will ask you what printer you would like to print to, choose Receipt Printer 2. You can use the custom pos button with any of the other printer settings as well. For instance if you choose option number 2 and the cashier accidentally presses No to printing the receipt they can always press the Reprint Last Receipt button, after the transaction was completed.
