Validation Printer Options

Screen Element

Description

Expand Validation Amount

Allows you to double the width of printing during validation

Validate Advance

Allows you to specify the number of lines to advance before printing begins during validation. The value zero (0) indicates that validation printing begins on the first line of the form.

Sign Character For Neg Amount

Allows you to specify the symbol that represents a negative amount on a receipt. The minus sign (-) symbol is typically used to represent negative amounts.

Fiscal Transaction

Allows the POS to indicate to the fiscal printer whether to start a fiscal or non-fiscal document. When this option is enabled, the POS will process the transaction as a fiscal transaction otherwise the POS will process the transaction as a non-fiscal transaction.

The POS only checks this option at the start of a transaction. The type of fiscal document is maintained for the entire transaction. Any manager codes running within a transaction will not change the type of fiscal document. Typically, fiscal manager codes are only configured once when parameter files are configured. They may be configured again later if new types of fiscal User Defined Transactions are later added.
