Parameters

  • station
    The printer station to be used. Can be either Receipt or Slip.
  • documentType
    Identifier of a document stored in the printer.

Remarks

BeginFixedOutput is supported only if CapFixedOutput is true.

If the station parameter is Slip, the slip paper must be inserted into the slip station by using Begin/EndInsertion before it calls BeginFixedOutput.

Each fixed output is printed by using the PrintFixedOutput method. If BeginFixedOutput is successful, the PrinterState property is changed to FixedOutput. The EndFixedOutput method ends fixed output modality and resets PrinterState.

BeginFixedOutput may cause a PosControlException to be thrown with the following ErrorCode:
