How to Use Terminal Input with Command Files Making Your Own Commands
specified console number (which is set in console parameters).
When you send a file to a printer, you may want to put a heading line or to include printer-
control codes that do not appear in the file. If so, put the heading or codes on the same line in
the command file as the PRINT RECEIPT command; the extra characters will be sent to the
printer before the file text. Any text sent to the printer is checked for ~ and ^ control codes,
such as ^M for a new line.
Note: Sending a ^T to the console opens the cash drawer.
(See your printer and command terminal manuals for these control codes, as they may vary
from device to device. If the control codes are given as hex numbers, insert a ~ before the hex
number; if the codes are letters or characters, insert a ^ before the letter or character.)
Use the C option to print more than one line with PRINT RECEIPT. Unlike most Site
Controller commands, in this case you do not indicate the end of the lines you want printed by
responding to the last Line to print? prompt with only a carriage return. Instead, type only a
period (.) and press RETURN. (This is so you can include blank lines in what is printed on the
receipt printer, if you want.)
You can use PRINT RECEIPT to print the entire contents of a file on the receipt printer. The
format is:
PRINT RECEIPT;<filename
How to Add an Event to the Disk Journal
You can add an event to the journal log by using the command LOG EVENT (LOG EV). This
will mark an event in the journal log by placing an event line at the specified point.
There are several parameters available with this command:
You must include one parameter, the “event type”, the others are optional but a place holder
must be included in the command if a parameter is skipped. For example, to assign an event
type of 20, with an amount of $45.00, a clerk number of 13, and a shift sequence number of
335, the command would look like the example.
Notice that there are zeros representing the parameters that are not used because the last
parameter was needed. Any fields not provided will default to their correct system values.
et Event type 0-99: Enter a number, 0 through 99. It will appear with as 100 - 149 in the journal (150 -
199 are reserved).
amt Amount in current monetary units: Do not use a decimal.
d Descriptive text (up to 20 characters): If you have any spaces, enclose the description in quotes.
c# Console number: Must be 2 or less characters.
cl# Clerk number: Must be 2 or less characters.
sh# Shift number: Must be 2 or less characters.
sq# Shift sequence number: Must be 4 or less characters.
