Customizing a Ticket
Appendix

Version 3.5
Select the ticket from the
Default Ticket Type
drop-down list
.
TransAct will use this ticket definition as
the default ticket type.
Other .
GTK
ticket files can be created and used as custom tickets. To use a specific ticket for a particular
customer, design the ticket using the same ticket rules, give the ticket a meaningful name; i.e. a form
of the customer’s company name. Select
Admin | Customer Accounts
and select the specific customer’s
account. Select the ticket from the
Ticket Type
drop-down list. To save the change, click the
Save
button.
NOTE:
To use the
Default Ticket Type
selected in the
Preferences
window, leave this field blank.
PRWEIGHT.GTK
This ticket format will be used when the
Print Weight
button at the top of the weigh form is
clicked. This ticket can be customized to meet the end user’s needs. However, the filename must remain
the same. TransAct searches for the
PRWEIGHT.GTK
filename when this button is clicked. A ticket will
not print if this file does not exist.
Remember the
Print Weight
button is used to print the current weight displayed on the scale indicator.
A transaction is not created or stored in the database. So, when designing this ticket many of the ticket
field names will be invalid since this is not a stored transaction. Use incoming field names such as
Date
In
and
Weight In
for this ticket.
UNATTEND.GTK
Most unattended ATS-2 systems come with a Swecoin thermal printer. This sample file contains all of
the printer commands necessary to print and cut a ticket sent to this printer. This file can be copied,
renamed, and modified (like the
DEFAULT.GTK
sample ticket) to meet the end user’s needs. Once the
file has been created, select it as the
Default Ticket Type
in the
Preferences
window.
Use the .
UTK
extension when TransAct will be used to print tickets to a different printer when in attended
mode (see below).
UPDTARE.GTK
This ticket must be present to print a ticket when a tare weight is updated or created from the Weigh
form. This file is not automatically generated during installation, it must be created by the end user.
