Printer Setup

Printer setup is generally dictated by Windows and the printer drivers.  Open each to see the properties available for the device and edit them as needed.  For example, if your receipts should be printed in color, select the printer’s color option.

To create PDFs, you need to install a PDF printer (generator). This installs and looks like a normal Windows printer, except when you print to it, it generates a PDF file of whatever you are printing. With this, you can print a document to PDF file, which you can then attach to an e-mail or save or print.
