Bistone HMS supports various printing options for your invoices and receipts. By default, the system generates a PDF file when you click print. You can easily change this to match your specific printer type.
How to Change the Printer Setting
- Go to the Administration tab on the main menu ribbon.
- Click Settings.
- Navigate to Invoice/Receipt -> Print Settings -> Printer Type.
- Select your preferred option from the dropdown list (see details below).
- Click OK to save your settings.
Understanding the Printer Type Options
Choose the option that best fits your hardware:
- LPT1 Thermal (80mm): For 80mm thermal printers connected via the LPT1 (parallel) port.
- Thermal (80mm): For 80mm thermal printers using other connections like USB.
- OS Default Printer: Sends the print job directly to your Windows default printer (ideal for normal A4/letter paper).
- PDF (Bigger LOGO): Generates a PDF file, but with a larger logo size compared to the default PDF output.
Tip: After changing the setting, try printing a test invoice to ensure everything works correctly with your chosen printer.
