Rice Lake TransAct 1.0 - Manual (Page 138)

134 Appendix
If you would like your printed tickets to appear differently, you can
create and save formatted files for other ticket styles. These files are
created outside the TransAct program, using any text editor. We
recommend using Notepad
® , which comes with Windows ® and is
found in the Accessories window of your Program Manager.
Different ticket formats can be created in Notepad, named with the .gtk
suffix, and saved in the same folder as the original default.gtk. Any
.gtk file can then be selected and used as the new ticket type default for
any account. The Ticket Type dialog box in any Customer Account
table is used to select the .gtk format file for that account. That account
will then default to the ticket style you have selected.
However, if you only want to occasionally print a different ticket type
for an account, you can also specify a new .gtk file while a weigh
transaction is in progress. Only that transaction then will print a ticket
with the new style you have selected. When that account comes up for
another transaction, it will return to the .gtk file selected as the default
in the Customer Account table.
To temporarily change the ticket format in this manner with a truck on
the scale, press the Options... button from the Weigh screen. In the
Options screen near the bottom, click on the down arrow after the
Ticket Format File dialog box. All the .gtk files you have created will
be available for selection. In the example below, a Gross Only format
(grsonly.gtk) and a Net Only format (netonly.gtk) have been created
and stored. Make your selection, then press Done to return to the main
Weigh screen. When this ticket is printed, it will be in the format you
have chosen.
