Is there a possibility to exucute the cutter before the receipt is over ?

Background is that a need slips for various station.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

It would be enough if you could choose a special article in the stock table.

It is already possible to send escape codes using the stock table ?

Leo,

Currently the program only activates the receipt cutter after a receipt has been printed.

It is not possible to send control codes through an item in the stock table although if the control code was entered into the description that might work.

I have no idea what you mean by "need slips for various station"? Could you explain?

Hello Dale Harris,

Thank you for your answer !

I want to build a sales slip cash for a summer celebration, so I have three station one for food, one for alcohol drinks and one for none alcohol drinks ...

although if the control code was entered into the description that might work.

so how I can insert the code as simple decimal or hex ( 0x1B ) or bin ?

with best regards

Leo,

Sorry, I still do get the concept. Do you mean that you want to print one receipt that then has to be split up and then sent to 3 different places?

You can try to enter the code into a description by using the [ALT] + number method. Hold down the [ALT] key and on the numeric keypad on the right of your keyboard type in the code, then release the [ALT] key. For example if you wanted to enter the code 27,85,33 you would...
Hold down [ALT], type 27, release [ALT]
Hold down [ALT], type 85, release [ALT]
Hold down [ALT], type 33, release [ALT]
For characters less than 32 the screen may display nothing, something strange, or do something really weird.

This may also not work at all. Even if it does work remember that the cutter bar is not located at the same place as your printer's print head. This means that after printing the last line you want to print before activating the cutter, that when the cutter bar cuts, it may cut up to an inch either above or below where the last line was printed.

Another possible solution is rather low tech and is called a "pair of scissors." So simple that even I have a problem screwing it up.

Yes that's it and thanks again for your quick answer I try that out.

Hello Dale Harris,

I think that would work but

Hold down [ALT], type 27, release [ALT] = ESC and you define esc = quit program so I quit when I type this
