[Resolved] Change Printer for Custom Report Printing

I have a Custom Reports Screen setup to view Server sales. Servers are collecting payments for each transaction and at the end of the day servers print this report. Management collects payments based on this report.

Is it possible to change where Custom Reports print and can Custom Reports be formatted to fit on Receipt Printer.

Ideally, I would like to change Custom Reports to print on Receipt Printer.

Thank you in advance for your help and support.


Yes you can print to any printer that is attached and set up. Having them fit on 80mm paper will be difficult to achieve when you have wide Reports, but if you can alter font-size in the printer (either by sending XCT commands or using HTML printer type, it may be doable in some cases.

How do I change where Custom Reports print. I can not seem to find any options to change printers.

Best Regards and thank you for quick response.

It looks as though you have a Custom Entity Screen with a Report Viewer Widget and an Automation Command Button to print it. If that is the case, you can change the button to fire a different Action, like Execute Print Job which is mapped to whatever printer you have set up.

EDIT: ok I see what you’re saying. The Print Report Action does not allow selection of Printer. I wouldn’t be surprised if @Jesse knows the answer to this. I only have 1 printer and it is a receipt printer, so any printing automatically goes to it by default.

They print properly using Invoice Printer. I want to change Invoice Printer to Customer Receipt printer. 800mm paper roll.

Thanks

I am showing you that you can change it to another printer…Notice the drop down box selection.

I knew I had seen that Report Printer option somewhere - just couldn’t remember where. Thanks @Jesse.
