iOffice Receipt Printer Settings
Manage a number of settings that control how the receipt printer operates at a salon. Add a custom message to your receipt footers for marketing, promotions, or a friendly message.
Receipt Printer Settings – Hardware
This is the default view of the Receipt Printer submenu of iOffice, and gives a read-only summary of the connected device. The section can be broken down as follows-
Select Receipt Printer: This drop-down menu gives a list of possible devices that could be used as a receipt printer for the local SuperSalon POS.
Connected To: This area will show the local com port the receipt printer is connected to, and it can only be changed locally on the salon’s POS – not here in iOffice.
Use this printer drop-down menu: This Enabled/Disabled drop-down menu determines whether or not the receipt printer is enabled in the local SuperSalon POS.Be careful with making and saving any changes here! You may inadvertently cause a disruption to the workflow at the salon and/or cause their receipt printer to stop printing!
Receipt Printer Settings – Options
This section of the Receipt Printer Setting submenu offers more detailed cueing and behavioral options for the device. It is organized into three sections which can be broken down as follows:
Timeclock Receipt
These options control the behavior of the Timeclock function when an employee clocks in and out of the POS.
Print receipt when clocking in/out: Setting this to Yes will make the receipt printer print a confirmation message upon a after clock in / out.
Print appointments when clocking in: Having this set to Yes will make the printer include the employee’s appointments for that day upon clocking in for their shift.
Service Receipt
These settings govern the receipt printer’s actions when moving a ticket from Waiting to Servicing.
Many establishments make full use of this functionality as it provides the employee who is performing the service a paper note of unique details pertaining to the customer.
Print receipt when servicing customer: Controls whether the servicing slip is printed or not. If set to Yes, a guest receipt will print when a ticket is moved from waiting to servicing.
Note!
The following options determine how exactly the servicing receipt functions, and what details it has on it.

Label for Tax Rate #1: This text field allows the user to give a specific name to a tax that may appear on the receipt.
Label for Tax Rate #2: Identical to the previous text field, but intended for secondary taxes that may or may not appear.
