Re: [IUG] Express Lane computers and auto cut

You can re-trigger the printing dialog to come up by deleting the 
print.properties and OutputTypeProperties.xml file in the millennium 
directory.  print.properties is the main one, OutputTypeProperties.xml 
stores print template settings.  That is where the per login printer 
prefs are stored on each machine.  We have had problems with that file 
getting too full of old config settings in the past also, and creating 
problems after Major version upgrades.

You could create a batch file with
"
del c:\millennium\print.properties
del c:\millennium\Outputtypeproperties.xml
"

and add it to the administrator desktop of your self check image to make 
it really easy for those setting up the express lane machines.

There was only a single chance to choose the receipt printer, and to check the "Send autocut" box in the Local Printer Settings box, Format tab.  (Usually we do text narrow, lines to eject 10, and send autocut.)
