Hi,
I have the problem to print a customer designed receipt instead of the receipt printed by the Micros 3700. Does anyone know whether it is possible to prevent the 3700 to print the receipt and use a ISL script to print a receipt?

Thanks for your help.
 
Thanks for your reply. The customer simply wants that some parts of the receipt should be printed in bold, for example the description of an item. It is possible to configure the Micros 3700 to print the description in double width but than the price is not printed.
 
Addendum

In fact what I want to do is to replace the standard receipt by an own receipt.
 
You could use ISL to generate a reasonable approximation of the MICROS receipt. However, MICROS includes a ton of options that effect receipt printing and you may find that your brewed solution doesn't match up to what the standard receipt will offer. Consolidation, condiment printing, printing on one line, etc, all get a little bit tricky to try to duplicate. That said, it is possible.

You'll need to write your ISL to loop through all check items and build up your receipt. If you are looking to just bold items, you might be able to send the Epson ESC/POS codes to effect this, but I'm not sure. At the very least, you can double size any text using the @DWON directive, but that may look a little bit goofy.
Code:
Printline @DWON, "Item Name", @DWOFF, "$1.00"

You'll also need to modify your system so that guest receipts aren't printed (check your Send/Print Tenders), and maybe create a macro that calls your ISL print receipt event and the tender that you usually use to print a receipt (modified, of course, so that the receipt isn't actually printed).
 
Thanks for the hints, I will try that out.
