By default, the APM software will print the product name on all receipts.

If you wish to use the product description instead, follow these steps:

  • Close the APM software, including the Hardware Attendant.
  • Make a backup copy of the C:\apm\apmconfig_receipt.xml.
  • Open the file labeled "apmconfig_receipt.xml" from the C:\APM directory. You need to open the file in Notepad or another text editor that can edit XML.

Once open, find the following line:

<receipt skins_folder="Chameleon\english\" reject_order_on_failure="false" print="true" paper_width="33" product_qty_column_width="6" print_test_receipt="false" quantity="1" total_column_width="7">

  • Add the value use_product_description="true", so that the line should look like this:

<receipt skins_folder="Chameleon\english\" reject_order_on_failure="false" print="true" paper_width="33" product_qty_column_width="6" print_test_receipt="false" quantity="1" total_column_width="7" use_product_description="true">

  • Save the file, restart the APM software, and then place a test order to check your work.
