📄How to Create and Edit Receipt Headers and Footers

Receipt Printer Format Configuration

Overview

This guide explains how to create or edit receipt Header and Footer lines in bepoz BackOffice using Operational Setup > Printer Formats.

Each Header and Footer can contain multiple lines of custom text, with individual formatting options applied to each active line.


Prerequisites

  • Confirm the Operator has the correct privileges to maintain Printer Formats.
  • Before editing an existing Printer Format, check the Used By column to confirm which Tills or Workstations use the format and will be affected by the change.

Configuration Steps

  1. Navigate to BackOffice > Operational Setup > Printer Formats.
  2. Select the required Venue at the top of the Printer Formats list if filtering is required.
  3. Create or edit the required Printer Format:





    • Click Add Printer Format to create a new Printer Format.
    • Highlight an existing Printer Format and click Edit Printer Format to modify it.
  4. Locate the Header and Footer line grid at the bottom of the Printer Format Setup window.



    • Header lines are displayed by default.
    • Click Display Footer to switch the grid from the Header lines to the Footer lines. The display will swap titles when you toggle between Header and Footer settings.
    • When the Footer lines are displayed, use the same Header/Footer display button to switch back to the Header lines.
    • The button controls which set of lines is currently displayed for editing; it does not display both Header and Footer lines at the same time.
  5. Tick Active for each line that should print.
    • Untick Active to disable a line without removing its text.
    • Up to ten lines are available for the Header and ten lines for the Footer.
  6. Enter or edit the required content in Text.
    • Inserting only spaces in a Text line allows you to create line spacing on the Header or Footer.
  7. Chars displays the chatacter count of each Text line.
  8. Select any required formatting options:
    • Centred — centres the content on the line.
    • Red — prints the content in red on printers that support two-colour printing.
    • Large — prints the content using a larger font.
    • Bold — prints the content in bold.
    • Underline — underlines the content.
    • QRCode — renders the line content as a QR code instead of plain text.
  9. Repeat the process for any additional Header or Footer lines.
  10. Confirm Hide Header under General Options is not selected if the configured Header should print.
  11. Click Save to apply the Printer Format changes.

Confirmation

  • Print a test receipt from a Till or Workstation that uses the updated Printer Format.
  • Confirm each active Header and Footer line appears with the expected text and formatting.
  • Confirm inactive lines do not print.
  • If the Header does not appear, recheck the Hide Header option under General Options.
  • Changes apply only to Tills or Workstations that use the selected Printer Format.
