Receipt Customization for Palm OS!
When we introduced our new receipt customization functionality a few months ago, we featured the Pocket PC.  It turns out that a lot of our Palm OS users do not realize that they have the same new features, so we are dedicating this issue to the receipt customization of the Palm OS devices!

  Auto TAX calculations! We now have an option to automatically calculate and add tax to your transactions! Changing the Tip Percent in options will have not an effect on existing saved transactions (approved or not). Basically, Tax Amount is calculated at time of entering Ticket Item (Amount). If you save the transaction (or send it), then the tip % and amount is fixed. If you save an unapproved transaction, then change the Tip % in the Options screen, the transaction will NOT reflect the new change (Tip % sets the tip amount at the time of entry, then it is fixed for that transaction). Thus, you can have a variety of transactions with different Tax % (the drop down list in the Transaction Manager can show you the tax amount and the % used for the sale).  If a tax is charged (i.e., an amount greater than 0.00, then receipts will show a Tax (with %) and a subtotal.

  Receipt customization for Pocket Verifier Professional - Pocket PC AND Palm OS versions are now available! Merchants can now customize the top AND the bottom of their receipts [1] with customized text, in large, small, bold and normal fonts, along with individual choice of left, right, or center justification! You still have the choice of standard (32 char/line 6 LPI) or condensed (42 char/line 8 LPI) for optimum paper use, and the titles can track this selection, or auto-override at your option!

Service Receipts!  A service receipt is a receipt that you print PRIOR to sending the transaction for approval.  Like in a restaurant, it has a place for the customer to enter tip, total and signature.  When they return the receipt with tip and total [2], just enter it, press CHARGE, and the entire transaction is approved!  If "Show Tip Suggestion" is checked, the receipt will show pre-calculated tip suggestions of 15%, 18% and 20% [3] for your customer's convenience!
