You are not limited to one custom receipt format in Acme. You can have a different receipt format for each terminal if you wish. This is helpful in businesses that have retail and wholesale checkout lanes, different hardware etc.
When you order custom receipts they will be delivered to you via e-mail or on disk via mail. You will receive a separate zip file for each invoice format. Each zip file contains two files:
acmecustomdotmatix.VCT
acmecustomdotmatix.vcx
AcmeRemoteRcpt.VCT
AcmeRemoteRcpt.vcx
Copy the custom files: If you have ordered ONE custom receipt/invoice unzip the files and copy them to the acmepos\data folder on your Acme data server.
If you have MORE THAN ONE custom/invoice receipt than usage is determined by terminal. In this case you will be provided more than one zip file. Unzip the appropriate files into the acmepos folder on each terminal (workstation).
Please note: Best practice dictates that you do not put the files in both folders, that may result in hair loss.
Setup each POS Terminal to use custom receipt. This must be done for each terminal that you wish to have print a custom receipt/invoice.
In Acme navigate to:
>Maintenance >POS Terminal Setup >Receipt Printer Tab >Receipt / Invoice Tab
Set Receipt Style to "Custom Ticket".
Repeat for each terminal you wish to have print a custom receipt.
The search order for custom receipts follows the Acme search path. Click >File >About >File Paths
