Edit Receipt Footer
(Android and iOS)

Note: The information on this page is for Android and iOS devices.  The information for Windows Mobile devices is located here. The footer information that prints at the end of each receipt can be customized to suit your specific needs or tastes.  The receipt footer data resides in a plain text file on your PocketFlash server system.  The file can be edited using any plain text file editor such as Notepad, WordPad or Word.  On the IBM i system (AS/400, iSeries, System i, etc.) the file can also be edited via green screen using the system's built-in editor.  The footer file is automatically copied to a mobile device every time the device performs a Normal or Refresh Data synchronization with the server. File location:
/www/PFLASH/link2live/files
or
/www/PFLASH/link2test/files
File name:
salesrcpt-footer.html Editing the footer file:
The easiset way to edit the file on an IBM i system is via green screen using the WRKLNK command to navigate to one of the above file locations.
 
Example: WRKLNK '/www/PFLASH/link2live/files'
 
Then use option 2 (Edit), to open the file for editing.  After making your changes, press F3 to save the changes and then F3 again to exit the editor.
Testing the footer file:
The Test action on the Set Printer Model window (a.k.a. Set Printer Type) includes the receipt footer as a part of its output.  After changing the footer file, you should verify your changes by printing a test on your configured printer.  As noted above, the mobile device must do a Normal or Refresh Data syncronization with the server in order for it to have the most current version of the footer. Important considerations:
  1. The maximum number of horizontal characters per line varies from one type of printer to another.  For example, for the Zebra QLn420, the footer can contain up to 88 characters per line.  For other printers, the number of characters per line could be more or it could be less.  Printing a Test on the Set Printer Model window (a.k.a. Set Printer Type) will help you determine the horizontal limits for your specific printer.
  2. Although the footer is an HTML file, the only HTML markup supported is <br/> (line break), as shown in the above sample.  The use of any other markup could cause undesireable results depending on the type of printer being used.
