Customizing a Point of Sale Receipt
Sep/21/2010
Receipts and all element of a receipt can be edited
within Tradepoint Point of Sale. Accessing edit mode within Tradepoint Point of
Sale is how to edit a receipt within the Point of Sale.
To access edit mode
login to the point of Sale and click on the management menu in the top left of
the screen. The option for edit mode will be the bottom option.

Within edit mode there
will be a menu option in the upper left to choose which printable item to edit.
Choose the receipts and existing receipt option to edit the current
receipt.

Once the option to edit
existing is opened the report designer will open. The report designer is similar
to the report designer in Tradepoint so the menu options and click through
options on fields will be the same.

Each field on the
receipt can be edited. Editing the logo on the receipt is done by clicking on
the logo field and choosing the menu option that shows up once the field has
been clicked.
Finding a logo file and sizing options for the file will be
found in the menu in the logo field. For sizing options which will size a logo
file automatically to the correct proportions choose the auto sizing
option.
Adding a web site, or tag line can be done by clicking the line
right below the logo or dragging a label field into the receipt. A label
field is a blank field with no properties or text in the field. Text or
properties can be assigned to the label field once it has been dragged to its
location on the receipt.

The customize menu in
the label field shows the property options that can be added or changed on a
label field. The property menu will appear for each field within the
receipt.

Field properties for
appearance can also be edited using the menus found on the right side of the
screen. These menus will control how a field and its text appears. This includes
font, color, size, field background color, and borders to name some of the most
frequent changes made.
