[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Receipt printers

[Thomas Berezansky]

I can't say anything about Star printers from experience, but I know  
that if you disable the header/footer/margin information in the staff  
client (page settings button) and are using an Epson printer/driver  
you can enable an option to remove excess whitespace from the end of  
the receipt.

The Epson driver has this under "Printing Defaults", then the  
"Document Settings" tab and calls it Paper Conservation. It defaults  
to bottom.

Star's drivers may have a similar option? I don't have any star  
printers installed to check.
