Printers and printer settings
In GregSys software Print operations are made by print jobs, which in their turn needs printer and printer templates in the system.
Main menu> Manage> Settings> Printers> Add Printer
Input the printer name, select the printer name from the available printers list of operating system. Printer type select Windows printer, and leave the rest fields unaltered. After this action in Gregsys system will appear a printer, with the help of which later will be created print jobs.
The printer template is for creating the content of printable part.
Main menu> Manage>Settings-> Printer Templates> Add Printer Template
Input the template name. Then you need to input templates for Header template, Gift template, Void line template and footer template (if it is necessary). At the right side of the printer template you can find the Rules. Additional rules are follows:
<T> (Title): Designs the title line.
<F> (Fill): For example <F> - creates a line symbols <F> = creates a line = symbols.
<EB> (Enable Bold) prints in bold up to <DB> command.
<DB> (Disable Bold) to cancel <EB> command.
<Jxx> (Justified) Align text to both the left and right margins.
• <Cxx> (Center) Same as <J00> but centers the text.
• <Lxx> (Left) Same as <J00> but align text to the left.
• <Rxx> (Right) Same as <J00> but align text to the right.
• <BEEP> (Beep Sound) If the printer has an opportunity of sound, in the case of this command it will make sound. Usually it is used at the end of the pinter template and informs the user that something has printed. Very useful for kitchen printers
<BMPx> prints the picture by the address. For example "<BMP7> C: \ logo.bmp" where "7" is size of image: Is it possible to print the picture at the left, right or in the center. For example:
<L00>
<BMP> C: \ logo.bmp
the logo will be printed on the left side. If replace <L00> with <C00> - the picture will be printed in the middle of the page, and in the case of <R00> the picture will be in the right side.
<CLxxxx> This command divides the printable part in 4 parts by this relationship.
For example <CL5122> {NAME} | {QUANTITY} | {TOTAL} | {TOTAL AMOUNT} the first part will be 50% of printable part, 10% the second, third and fourth will be 20%. The may done also command <CW5122> without dividing lines.
