Roll receipt "Offer"

[Ches]

I noticed on the roll receipts there is a setting for a Receipt Offer.
 When I set this it tags the product name and the UPC number at the bottom of the strip.

Could you explain what this was intended for because to be useful I would like to put a phrase in place of the UPC code.  Or was this meant to create a new product for the offer in order to ad that sale or promo info into the description in the product area?

It's to include a coupon offer on your customers receipts.

That's what I thought but there is no specific data entry point for the coupon details and it centers the UPC number on the receipt. the customer wouldn't be much interested in that.

If you select the barcode font it will print barcodes for the UPC.  The cashier would just have to scan it.  Otherwise the cashier types in the UPC numbers to enter the item into a sale.

Well I guess in my case the UPC or bar code is irrelevant. If I were to hand a receipt to a customer with a special offer it should say "Special Offer" otherwise it's useless. With a product description and a UPC number they may think I charged them for something they didn't buy.

Any chance it could be expanded to include a phrase?
 Thanks.

The product description can say anything you like.
