Customizing Microsoft RMS Receipts

Microsoft RMS receipts can be customized by modifying existing XML template files or creating new ones. Receipt templates provide different formats for transaction types and allow for previewing. They are processed in two steps - first the template is compiled to generate an XML receipt string, then it is rendered to a POS or Windows printer. Receipt templates use elements, variables, and a legend to define the receipt structure and pull in transactional data. The receipt format can be configured for each register's available printers.
