SETLP-TIMEOUT Command
If the printer does not receive any characters after a set
time, it will begin to print. This delay can be set with the
SETLP-TIMEOUT command.
! U1 SETLP-TIMEOUT {time in 1/8 second units}
Multiply the seconds to wait by 8 to get the correct time
for the command. The valid range of values is 0-255.
Designing a Receipt
It is now possible to create a receipt using the com-
mands just described. First, list all the fields that you
want on the receipt. Will there be different types of re-
ceipts used in the business? Is this a receipt for picking
up goods, or is this an itemized list of products ordered
and paid for? Will there be a need to differentiate quickly
between different types of receipts to prevent errors? In
a nutshell, what do you need this thing to look like?
A sales receipt should contain a few basic fields to
prevent confusion. First, place the business name on the
top of the receipt, preferably in a font to differentiate it
from everything else. Choose a large font which is either
resident in the printer or custom created with the Label
Vista software package. Resident font 4 size 0 or 1 and
font 5 size 2 or 3 are perfect for this function. If you
desire to keep the receipt size small, font 7 size 1 is tall
enough to set the text apart from everything else, yet it
conserves space. Set a little space between your busi-
ness name and the next line.
Next, put the address and telephone number of the
business under the name. Customers will appreciate not
