Custom ticket file extensions

.UTK

When TransAct is used in attended and ATS-2 unattended modes to print to two different printers, use
the .

UTK

extension to designate which ticket file is to be used to print to the ATS-2 printer and the .

GTK

extension to designate which ticket file is to be used to print to an attended ticket printer (e.g. Okidata
ML 320).

For example, a user would like to use an ATS-2 system to run TransAct in unattended mode, but will
also need the capability of running TransAct in attended mode (e.g. cash customers). A different ticket
will be printed for each type of transaction to different printers.

The end user can designate which ticket format is to be used at the ATS-2 terminal by using the .

UTK

file extension. When in unattended mode TransAct looks at the default ticket filename (i.e.

STILLSON.GTK

) and searches for a matching filename with a .

UTK

extension (i.e.

STILLSON.UTK

). If

TransAct finds a file with a matching filename using the .

UTK

extension, TransAct will use this ticket

file at the ATS-2 terminal. When in attended mode TransAct will use the file with the .

GTK

extension

and print to the attended printer. The format of each file will be different to accommodate the different
types of printers.

To use the

UPDTARE.GKT

file in unattended mode on an ATS-2 terminal, rename or copy the file to

UPDTARE.UTK

. Make certain the

UPDTARE.UTK

file contains the correct printer commands for the

printer installed on the ATS-2 system.

.ITK

An incoming ticket can be printed by turning on the

Print Incoming Ticket

feature in the

Weighing

Options

section of the

Weigh

form.
