Receipt Printing Properties

On the Defaults tab, you can set defaults to configure receipt/slip printing.

Subtotal by Bill Reason — Select this check box to print subtotals of fines paid by bill reason at the bottom of the receipt.

For example, a patron paid $8.00 for two overdue bills and $1.00 for a charge fee. Subtotals can print similar to the following at the bottom of the receipt.

OVERDUE: $8.00
CHARGE: $1.00
Total Paid: $9.00

Do the following to specify the receipt header, receipt fields, and receipt footer.
Receipt Header — Specify the receipt header (lines of text at the beginning of the slip) using the String List Gadget.
Receipt Fields — Specify the fields (text that displays on the slip) to print on the receipt using the Receipt Fields Gadget.
Receipt Footer — Specify the receipt footer (lines of text at the end of the slip using the String List Gadget.
Allow Date Formatting Description — This optional property specifies whether descriptive text prints on the receipt to explain the date format that your library uses. The Date Format Description box is a free-text field where you can type up to 40 characters of descriptive text.

For example, patrons may be confused as to whether the date notation of 12/11/2007 means December 11, 2008, or November 12, 2008. You can type Month/Day/Year in the Date Format Description box so the date information will display similar to the following on the receipt.
