Printer and slip layout

Paper size, copies, the weight unit, and the wording printed on slips and invoices.

Open Administration → Printer and slip layout.

#Paper

Choice	Use it for
Normal sheet (A4 / Letter)	Any ordinary printer. The Print button opens the usual Windows print dialog.
Thermal receipt roll, 80 mm or 58 mm	A receipt printer. Pick the Thermal printer from the list and receipts print straight to it, with no dialog.

On A4, Copies per sheet sets how many copies sit side by side (2 gives two copies on a landscape sheet).

Note

Thermal printing straight to the printer works in the installed Weighbridge app. In a plain browser tab, the normal print dialog is used.

#Unit for slips, invoices and billing

Choose Kilograms, Quintals (1 Qtl = 100 kg) or Tonnes (1 t = 1000 kg).

This changes only how weights are shown and billed: on slips, on invoices, in the quantity filled in at billing, and in the quantity sent to Tally. The weighbridge always measures and stores kilograms, and the government portal always receives kilograms.

Important

Set the unit before you start billing and keep it. Rates are per this unit. A rate of 70 per Qtl billed in kg would be wrong by 100 times.

#Wording

Field	Where it prints
Show the weight unit on printed slips	Heading of the weight column, for example Weight (Qtl).
Footer note	Bottom of every slip.
Weight slip terms	The numbered notes at the foot of the slip.
Invoice tagline	Under the company address on the tax invoice.
Invoice terms	The terms at the foot of the tax invoice.
Vehicle photos on slip	Whether vehicle photos are printed on the slip.

Press Save. See the results in Print and reprint receipts.
