• Hide Patron’s Barcode on Receipts. Obscures a patron’s barcode with asterisks (e.g. “ * ” ) for check in/out receipts.

• Hide Patron’s Name on Receipts. When checked, receipts will print a patron’s initials instead of their full name.

• Show Patron Phone Number on Hold Slips. When checked, a patron's phone number will be included on printed stock hold slips. You can print these slips using the dialog box that appears when a currently checked out item with an in-stock hold is bookdropped or by using the Holds subtab in the Circulation window. The item with the in-stock hold can then be set aside—slip attached—and the requesting patron contacted (via telephone) at your leisure.

• Show Site Information on Receipts. When checked, your site's name, address and contact information is included on all receipt type.

• Optional Text for Receipts. If you would like to, add text that will appear on receipts.

• Add Logo for Receipt Printer. Add a logo that will appear on receipts. The slip printer uses thermal paper that can reproduce simple images clearly. For best results, please select a very basic bi-color image for display on receipts; a black and white image with a simple, line-oriented design is preferred. The logo must be an image format (e.g. JPEG, GIF, PNG, or BMP) supported by your browser and by the Network Receipt Printer. For optimal quality, the image should have a dimension no larger than 200 pixels wide by 250 pixels high and 72 ppi.
