Windows Settings for Vault controlled printing

Often when using Vault controlled printing the initial receipts that print out are not aligned, fed sufficiently, or cut off after printing. If the POS is printing its receipts on the same printer then adding the necessary commands into the printer setup to sort these issues out is often not possible as they will be in conflict with each other.


Where possible we recommend setting up a Generic Text printer with the below settings applied. This has proved successful in the scenarios we have encountered.


On the POS open PRINTERS and select ADD PRINTER


Add Vault Printer         

  • Select ADD A LOCAL PRINTER
  • Select the desired port under USE AN EXISTING PORT
  • Scroll down to GENERIC and select GENERIC / TEXT ONLY and select NEXT
  • Give the printer a name. E.G EFTPOS and select NEXT
  • Select DO NOT SHARE THIS PRINTER  and then NEXT unless you are looking to print the eftpos receipts from multiple lanes on this printer
  • Untick SET AS THE DEFAULT PRINTER and select FINISH

Configure Vault Printer        

  • Right click the new printer and select PRINTER PROPERTIES         
  • Select the DEVICE SETTINGS tab and change CUT SHEET to NOT AVAILABLE and select APPLY
  • Select the ADVANCED tab and select PRINTING DEFAULTS
  • Select the PAPER/QUALITY tab and select CUT SHEET and then APPLY. Click OK to close
  • Select the PRINTER COMMANDS tab and enter in the below commands:


BEGIN PRINT JOB:

<0D1B0D1B0D1B>


END PRINT JOB:

<0A0D1B0D1B0D1B>d<041D>V<00>


Click APPLY and then OK

         

Reconfigure the Vault lane and select WINDOWS PRINTER and the EFTPOS printer you just created. If requested for MARGIN settings set these to 0mm
