Receipt Printing

Receipt Printing is part of Documents & Labels in Windward System Five. System Five includes 5 documented capabilities here — all 5 in the standard set.

These 5 capabilities sit within System Five's 1287-capability documented set — a selection, not a ceiling.

Optional

Category quantity summary on receipts Optional #

Show how many of each type sold

A token prints the quantity purchased from each main inventory category on the receipt, either against the category name or dot-leadered across the page.

Long description wrapping Optional #

Print the full description on receipts

The standard description token truncates at 35 characters on a receipt; an alternate long-description token wraps the full text onto additional lines.

Receipt substitution codes Optional #

Fit more detail on a narrow receipt

Custom short codes can be defined to represent longer tokens and to cap printed length — for example an eight-character description — so several fields fit on one 40-column line without wrapping. Code and substitute together are limited to thirty characters.

Slip and receipt form designer Optional #

Design the till receipt we hand over

Receipts for 32 to 40 column continuous roll printers are built from header, items and footer sections using drag-and-drop tokens for company details, line items, subtotals, taxes, tenders, change and closing messages, with cash and charge default forms generated for you.

Sub-type-specific receipts Optional #

Print different wording on returns receipts

Where invoice sub-types are enabled, a distinct receipt design can be attached to a specific main-type and sub-type combination — for example a returns receipt carrying final-sale wording on exchanged goods.
