Pole Display not showing {values}

[QMcKay]

I have a LogicControls USB (COM port emulated) 2x20 Pole Display (PD3000UP), installed as a Port Printer on COM2.

I followed the Quick Reference Guide for V2 for setting up banners, line items, totals, etc., but I have some issues getting this to work properly in v3 (3.0.28).

• Template formatting commands (eg. <C>, <J00>, <L>, <R>), don't do anything, as though they are not being evaluated.
• More importantly, Values/Variables (eg. {TOTAL AMOUNT}are not being evaluated either.

For example, my Banner template had something like this:

Code: [Select]

<XCT>31,20,18
<C>Welcome to
<C>MyRestaurant
Instead of centering each line (2 lines), it would display:
Welcome toMyRestaura
nt
... it's completely ignoring the formatting commands (<C>), and the CR/LF.

My Pole Items template contains this:

Code: [Select]

<XCT>31,20,18
<R>Total:|{TICKET TOTAL}
My Pole Display shows:
Total: {TICKET TOTAL}

That is, no value is shown for {TICKET TOTAL}, instead is just displays "{TICKET TOTAL}", and the text is not being justified either (ignoring <R>).

Help, please!

Did you enabled "Print Ticket" setting for the Execute Print Job action?

Hmm... no, I had it set to FALSE, since I assumed (incorrectly) that it would print a paper receipt, which I didn't want *smack head*.  I've set it to TRUE, and all is well!

Thanks so much Emre!
