1 Color Ribbon

Enable this option if the printer uses a one-color ink ribbon. This option causes the printer to alternately use both sides of the ribbon. Otherwise, the printer uses ribbons with more than one color. For thermal printers, this option is disabled.

Select this option if the invoice paper has the restaurant logo at the top of each form, or to print the Logo with a compatible printer.

NOTE: To print the restaurant name and address under the Logo, enable the Print Logo And Address option of Point of Sale Control > Revenue Center > Options > Check. To generate the Logo from the printer, you must enter the proper hexadecimal code in Page Setup field of Point of Sale Control > Workstation > Printer Type > Codes. The logo must also be loaded in the printer's memory using a special utility supplied by the printer's manufacturer.
