Paper – Property Sheet Page Usage
This property sheet is provided to all printer drivers from the Windows system, and is thus considered
standard. The options present on this property sheet are vendor defined though, and as such are described
here. The Paper property sheet page looks like this for all printers:
The Paper source option has been added to this property sheet page by this driver. Its function is described
in the following table:
Option Default
Choice
Meaning
*
Receipt
Each printed page ends immediately after the last line. (Variable length pages)
Paper source
Ticket
Each printed page has a consistent length defined by the application.
If you want the printed receipt to have the minimum required length then choose Receipt. This will cause
each page to end after the last printed line. For example:
If the first document contains 10 lines then the receipt will be 40mm (10 lines * 4mm/line).
If the second document contains 13 lines then the receipt will be 52mm (13 lines * 4mm/line).
In the majority of retailing and POS applications, this is the desired mode of operation. As such, the Receipt
choice is this option’s default.
If you want each printout to have a consistent length then choose Ticket. As the name implies, this mode of
operation is most suitable for the printing of tickets, where each one must be of a uniform and unchanging
length. The length of each printed page is determined by the document layout within the controlling
application.
