Using a receipt printer


A receipt printer used with PetLinx provides a quick and professional method of printing receipts for your customers when an invoice or payment has been completed. We only officially support PetLinx using the Epson range of receipt printers, however PetLinx may work well with other brands.

Setting up your Receipt Printer

  1. Connect the printer to your computer according to the manufacturer instructions, and install all software required by the printer.
  2. In PetLinx, open the “System Options” form, then click the “Printers and Cash Drawer” tab.
  3. In the “Invoice and Receipt Printing” section, set Paper Size to “Receipt”. Then select your receipt printer from the list of printers displayed.
  4. Click OK when finished to save the settings.

Printing Receipts

To print a receipt you just need to click the Print Invoice button when viewing an invoice, or Print Receipt button when viewing a payment.

Note: Don’t forget you can design your own receipt by making a modified version in the Report Editor.
