DOCLINE -- Receipts Printing on Two Pages

Question: How do I prevent Receipts from printing on two pages?
Answer:

For Internet Explorer 6.x, Internet Explorer 7.x and Firefox 2.x Users:

Try adjusting the default Bottom page margin to 0.50". You can also adjust the Top, Left, and Right margin settings if needed. In Internet Explorer 7.x, from the printer icon on the command bar, select Page Setup. In Internet Explorer 6.x and Firefox 2.x, select File, Page Setup.

Try adjusting the text size smaller. (View, Text Size)

Install the barcode font. The barcode prints in less vertical space than the text only equivalent. See instructions for downloading the barcode font, or click on the Help link at the top of the DOCLINE screen.

If only the footer prints on the 2nd page, you can modify the header & footer settings to remove either or both. In Internet Explorer 7.x, from the printer icon on the command bar, select Page Setup. In Internet Explorer 6.x, select File, Page Setup. Delete the entries in the Header and Footer fields. In Firefox, select File, Page Setup. Click on the Margins & Header/Footer tab and then click in the Header and Footer fields and select --blank-- using the pull down arrow.
