Hi there,

Does anyone know of a way to increase the character limit of menu items from 16????

thanks

Kevin.
 
Both Name1 and Name2 are set to 16 characters in the database.

I'd imagine one reason is that typical order devices have a 32-40 character wide limit and you need to accommodate printing double-wide (16-20 chars). Plus you have quantities that need to print on the same line as well.
 
thanks, how do you get micros to print the second name fields? ours only prints the frist names.

thanks again.
 
This should be correct for 8700...there might be other options and/or newer options for 9700. Check your programming manual under Porgramming Menu Items - Menu Item Definition File.


Menu Item Class
Type def #17 prints name 2 on checks and receipts (in addition to name 1)
Type def #18 prints name 2 on order devices*
Type def #19 prints name 2 on touchscreens instead of name 1

* In the Order Device file, Option #11 will override this and print BOTH names on the Order Device
