Load/Save Receipt Images
You can load a preamble and postamble image for your receipt or soft guest check. Before
loading, the images must be converted by the PC Utility to .img format. After conversion, they
can be loaded directly by connecting a PC to the SPS-300 or by copying the images to a SD card
and loading (or saving the image) using the SD utility program described here.
Note that after loading the images, you must set Print Options on page 14 of the Print
Options program to activate the image printing.
