Is it possible to print a logo on top of each reciept and report?

I thought I read somewhere it was possible but now I cant find any info on it.

Thanks

Hi,

I assume you mean the invoice & packing list etc?

If so this has been covered already on a number of threads ie

Hope this helps

Hi,

No, at the top of a thermal reciept and also on reports in Actinic Epos.

Thanks

Sorry Asa I didn't notice what forum we were in.

Sorry Asa I am also guilty of jumping in with both feet without checking which forum your thread was posted in.

Hi Asa

Please see if this helps - create a bitmap of your logo - black only - approx 5kb in size - rename your bitmap receipt_bitmap.bmp and copy it to your c:\Checkout\ directory. The logo will then appear at the top of your receipt.

Please make sure you have backups before trying anything.

Kind Regards

Has anyone out there tried this - did it work ok?

Yep,

Works fine mate.

OK - Got the logo on there no probs - now I find that any changes I make to the image do not transfer to the actual image printed - so I tried deleting the image from checkout, but it still prints it. I run epos from 2 pc's and the bmp file isn't showing on either of them - but its still printing on the receipt. Any thoughts where it might have attached itself?

I had exactly the same experience when trying out different logo's initially. When you load a new one it will overwrite the old, I have no idea where it goes, I wondered if it somehow got loaded into the printer memory itself, 'cause it doesn't exist on the hard drive unless it gets renamed.

If you want to get rid of what you have now, just create a tiny blank (or white) bmp. I created one and left it in the checkout folder and just renamed it while I was testing whatever I had made in P'shop and then renamed it back to receipt_bitmap to clear the receipt header again.

[Luddite]

Hmm - maybe I misread your post. I had deleted receipt_bitmap from checkout - so I made a new bmp as you suggested, put that in checkout, but I still get the original image showing on the receipt. What did you call the replacemnet bmp?

[Neil_P]

Doesnt Matter what you call the bmp I just renamed it so epos couldn't 'see it' ie anything other than receipt_bitmap.

Edit: to clarify, if you create a blank bmp called receipt_bitmap.bmp, then close and re-open Epos, the receipt will have no logo. Then once you've created a new logo bmp file you can call that receipt_bitmap and rename the 'blank' to receipt_bitmap1 or something rather than delete it.

Have you shut down and re-opened epos to refresh the receipt logo?

[Luddite]

Sorted. Thanks so much for your help Neil.

No Problem.

Glad you got it sorted mate.
