Receipts:
The Receipts option changes the traditional billing behavior.
It is available for a simplified point of sale (Checkout).
A delivery note is
blindly created and the copy of the receipt is sent to GPE for printing.
It is desirable to monitor the number of delivery notes saved to limit the borrowing on
the hard drive.
Currently the ticket layout takes into account the header created for HTML export.
Setting the printer to A6 format is desirable to save paper.
The purpose of the A6 format is to be able to use a conventional printer that is sometimes less expensive
than a thermal.
The copy of the tickets is not sent in the history but appears in the log.
Printing on a thermal or classic printer is targeted via the default printer.
You need to install the printer driver in windows. Under linux ESC/POS codes are sent directly
to the printer which must be in 'RAW' mode.
The user must change the default printer if switching from receipt mode to
A4 and vice versa.
