TICKET MARGINS |
The ticket margins parameter is used to let the program and printer adjust to minor printed discrepancies on the preprinted pawn tickets. The three options are top T, left L, and bottom B. The top and bottom numbers are the number of extra blank lines to be printed before and after the ticket. The left margin is the number of extra blanks to be printed before the line is printed. This effectively moves the entire line right. The last two options designate whether the name and optionally the loan items are to be printed on the top stub of the ticket. A maximum of four lines will be printed, if there is not enough room for all the items, only part of the items will print. |
14 |
RESALE SLIPS |
This option will print a resale certificate on the printer every time a tax exempt sale is made. This certificate would be signed and filed whenever a "buyer" or another pawn broker has a resale license and there is no sales tax to be collected for a sale. When making the particular sale reply "N" to the taxable option. |
15 |
LOAN PAY SLIPS |
This option lets each individual store decide whether they want to print a loan payment receipt at the time a loan is redeemed. The entries are Y=Yes, N=No, and O=optional. The "Y" will always print loan payment slips. The "N" will never print payment slips. The "O" allows the operator the option to decide for each individual loan when the loan is redeemed.
NOTE, if a loan is redeemed and a receipt was not printed, yet the customer comes back and requests a receipt, the operator can use the loan display/print with the Complete format for that loan. |
16 |
SALES TAX |
The sales tax charged at the store, enter the tax amount as a decimal. If the sales tax rate is 7.250% then enter the amount as "0.07250". |
17 |
TICKET PRINTER |
The printer name assigned to the printer that will print all the pawn tickets. |
18 |
8 LPI CODES |
The pawn tickets print at 8 lines per inch (LPI) and 12 characters per inch. Some printers cannot be set with dip switch settings for 8 LPI. They must be set with software programs. This field contains the numeric codes to set the Okidata printers to 8 LPI & 12 CPI. The numeric string that is entered consists of 4 numbers with 3 digits for each number. Use leading zeros if the number does not use three digits. Most Okidata printers use "Microline" software internally. The 8 LPI codes are 27 and 56. The 12 CPI code is 28. So the numeric string would be "027056028000". The 4th number is not needed and set to all zeros.
Note, some Okidatas are "IBM Compatible" the 8 LPI codes are 27,48, and the 12 CPI codes are 27,58 so the numeric string will be "027048027058".
See Appendix K, for a complete list of printer control codes. |
