Note: On 1 September 2024, JTL introduced new editions that bundle most of the previous individual services into different packages. In order for you to continue working as smoothly as possible, existing customers were automatically switched to the package configuration that best matched their existing contract. The individual packages differ in terms of limitations and/or range of functions. Therefore, some of the features described in the JTL-Guide may not be available to you as part of your booked JTL edition. You can change your package configuration in your JTL customer account. Find out more about the new editions and packages here. Check our FAQ for frequently asked questions about the product editions.

Setting up print templates for receipts

Your task/initial situation

You have connected a printer to JTL-POS (see: Connecting printers to JTL-POS) and now want to adjust the templates for cash receipts, internal receipts, intermediate and day-end closing reports, and business expenses receipts.

Adjusting print templates

Print templates for receipts, intermediate reports and so on are edited in the printer settings. This means that you can create separate templates for each printer connected to JTL-POS.

From the main menu of JTL-POS, open the item Printer. The Manage printers dialogue box opens.
Select the printer for which you want to edit the templates. The detail page for the printer opens.
Tap the edit icon (pen). The Edit mode of JTL-POS opens.
Select one of the following options:

Edit receipt template to adjust the template for receipts.
Edit business expenses receipts to adjust the template for the business expenses receipt.
Edit template for internal receipts to adjust the template for the internal receipt.
Edit template for reports to adjust the template for the intermediate and the day-end closing report.

Customise the text of the template. You can use the following variables, commands, and formatting:

Receipt template: Go to the variables, commands and formatting for receipts
Business expenses receipt: Go to the variables, commands, and formatting for business expenses receipts
Internal receipt: Go to the variables, commands, and formatting for internal receipts
Intermediate/Day-end closing report: Go to the variables, commands, and formatting for reports

Tap on Preview to see if your receipt is displayed correctly. When you tap Test print, a receipt containing demo data is issued by your printer.
Tap OK to save the template. Then save your changes via the ✓ icon.

Editing header and footer

You can globally maintain the header and footer of receipts in JTL-POS.

Open the Printing objects page in the menu Settings > Printing objects.
Tap the Edit button (pen icon) to edit the settings.
Into Header or Footer, enter the text that is to appear in the header or footer.

Please note: Use the $header$ variable to insert the header and the $footer$ variable to insert the footer into a print template.

Then save your changes via the ✓ icon.

Print header/footer options in the printer settings: You can globally disable the printing of headers and footers on receipts by deactivating these options.

Editing the customer data template

You can edit the customer data to be printed on a template separately.

In the printer settings, tap the Edit customer data template option. The Customer data template opens.
Adjust the template as needed. For possible variables that you can use, please see one of the template pages (see above).

Please note: You can use the variable $customer$ to insert the customer data template into a print template.

Tap OK to save the template.

Print customer data option: You can globally disable the printing of customer data on receipts by deactivating these options. It may be necessary to restart JTL-POS or your receipt printer after deactivating them.
