to the next gift certificate issued. This feature is not supported by the TEC ECR.
Printer section:
The
Preview Maximized
option is set to on by default, and is used to determine the
Report application's default Report Viewer window size. When selected, reports open "Full Screen".
When not selected, reports will open without using the entire screen area.
Re-Init Printer:
Some
printer drivers do not re-initialize the printer between print jobs. For example, this means that if a
previous print job was printed in "Landscape", the next job will also print that way unless the printer is
reset. Select this option to force the printer driver to re-initialize to default settings for every print job it
receives from Symphony Pro. The
Default
selection is used to define that reports will be directed to the
default windows printer. If you prefer using a different printer for reports press the
Select
button and
choose the printer. Note that you can set a specific printer for any report that will override the settings
you make here. Refer to the report properties set-up for information on how to set a different printer for
a specific report.
Auto Declare:
The Auto declare option should be set to on if cashiers or other management
personnel
do not
declare drawer amounts manually. When set to on, the system will force the
declared amounts to be the same as the in drawer amounts collected by the system. This way, reports
will balance by showing the in drawer amounts as the actual declared amounts, leaving no Over /
Short. When the Auto declare is not set to on, reports will show Over / Short amounts, and the report
will not balance until the manual declaration of in drawer amounts is performed from within the Entry
module's Pickup and Loan option. Please see the
Entry module's help section
in this manual for more
about using pickups, loans and manual declarations
Cost / Price Calculation:
This option determines how the Maintenance application will calculate prices
from the cost. Selecting
Markup / % of cost
uses the number indicated in the Price tab's price
calculation field as the percentage of the cost to add on top of the cost to obtain a retail price. The
Margin / % Profit
setting uses the number indicated in the Price tab's price calculation field as the
target profit margin, which is the profit per sale divided by the total sale.
For example: An item costs $1.00, and the item sells for $1.50.
The
Markup
is $0.50 or 50% of the cost.
The
Margin
is the profit ($0.50) expressed as a percentage of the total sale, or 33% of the selling
price.
NOTE:
It is important to remember that if you change this setting, you must close the Maintenance
application before the changes will take effect.
