You must set up a receipt form through Forms Definition to define the size and orientation of the receipt you receive when using Eclipse Point of Sale. The Forms Definition screen displays the page setup parameters selected for a paper form. In this case, you are setting up a receipt.
The standard system includes forms such as PLAIN, MULTI-PURPOSE, PAYABLE.CHECK, and LABELS, and the corresponding form definitions. Most of the forms provided with the system are standard in the industry and do not need to be changed.
A system administrator will need to access this program to make changes to the form definitions. Other users will only have view-only access..
Note: As of Release 9.0.2, this process requires the Eterm application.

From the System > System Files > Printer Setup menu, select Forms Definition.
When prompted, login to the character-based system, Eterm.
