Setting the Commercial Message in the Footer
You can also program a message that automatically prints at the bottom of
the receipt. For example, you can list your hours of operation or a special
promotion at the bottom of every receipt.
The Commercial message can have up to 5 lines. Each line can have 24
characters in single width or 12 characters in double width. For more
information about double-width messages, see Using Double Wide
Characters on page 20.
For example, the message at the bottom of the receipt can say:
TUESDAY IS 10% OFF DAY!
