Retail Conditional Graphics
The Retail Conditional Graphics feature of ReceiptWare gives your printer the ability to print stored graphics when text
triggers, that you define, are present in the receipt data. It supports up to 112 different Trigger Graphics as well as instruction
sets (i.e., justification) on how to print each one. With this ability, your imagination is the only limit when creating a unique
and customized receipt for every customer.
Using the Retail Conditional Graphics Tool
To print a Retail Conditional Graphic on a receipt, you have several text triggers to choose from. Before specifying the
triggers, you need to make a decision about the trigger that best suits the message that you are delivering. For example, if
you are printing a coupon that is printed when the customer spends $40.00 or more. You can create a trigger for ”$40.00”
Total – the printer will automatically print the coupon when ”$40.00” or more is present in the receipt data. You can also set
the trigger to print the coupon only if it is on ”Saturday.” In this example, if the customer spends $40.00 or more on Saturday,
the printer automatically prints a coupon for those customers that meet the criteria. You can specify another trigger to print
a different coupon if the customer spends under ”$40.00.”
There are seemingly endless combinations of triggers to print powerful customer-focused marketing messages that will help
bring your customers back again and again.
As with every other ReceiptWare tool, we recommend having a sample receipt present with you when creating Receipt
Formats. Available ReceiptWare text triggers are, Time-of-Day (i.e., AM or PM), Date & Time, Receipt Value, or Alternating
Days. ReceiptWare only recognizes strings that are present in the printed receipt data.
Enable Time/Date
The Enable Time/Date option allows you to specify the date & time that the graphic prints. You can specify if the graphic
prints in the AM or PM, and Every other day. You can also specify a Start Date and End Date to allow a graphic to print only
during the specified time, and it will stop printing the graphic after the End Date until the AXI file is changed.
The following chart shows information about the acceptable Enable Time/Date trigger formats.
