Rice Lake TransAct 3.5 - Manual (Page 193)

Customizing a Ticket Appendix
194 Version 3.5
To print a different incoming ticket then outgoing ticket, the filename must match the filename of the
.
GTK ticket (i.e. STILLSON.GTK ). TransAct searches for a matching filename with a . ITK extension (i.e.
STILLSON.ITK ), in the folder in which TransAct was installed ( C:\TRANSACT ). If TransAct finds a file
with a matching filename using the . ITK extension, TransAct will use this ticket file when the Store
Ticket button is clicked.
TransAct will use the selected . GTK file as the incoming ticket if it cannot find a matching . ITK file.
The ticket will print on the same printer as the outgoing ticket. The layout of the each ticket can be
entirely different.
Ticket Creation Rules
When creating a ticket, five types of fields can be used:
• Static Text
• Database
• Flag Fields
• Printer Commands
• Column Positioning
To accommodate multiple item transactions, the ticket is split into three sections: header, body, and
footer. Header lines are printed once before the first transaction item. Body lines are printed once per
transaction item. Footer lines are printed once after the last transaction item. Header lines are designated
by the letter
‘H’ in the first character position of the format line. Body lines are designated by the letter
‘B’ and footer lines by the letter ‘F’ . Each section letter must be followed by a space.
Any format line without a section identifier is considered a header line.
