Printing
All ProfitSystem PRINT output is usually sent to a PDF.
Some Print functions within ProfitSystem is not suitable for PDF output, such as Price Tag printing, Rental Production ticket printing and some others. In this case a print server is installed on the computer with the tag printer attached. Contact BBL to configure this.
By default, when any PRINT option is selected within ProfitSystem, the browser will convert the ProfitSystem output, such as a receipt, to a PDF and copy it to your local device. When processing is completed, a onscreen PDF view button will on a tablet or a PDF view Tab will appear appear on a Desktop device such as PC or Mac using the local tablet/computer's browser's PDF viewer application. Once the Receipt or Report appears it may be printed to a any local printer available from within the PDF viewer's software Print function.
Upon print completion, the user should close the PDF tab/window and return to the ProfitSystem session Tab.
Perform a test print of any webpage or PDF from the tablet/workstation. This test is to determine if a printer is available to tablet/workstation for printing ProfitSystem PDF output. If you cannot print from a webpage/pdf with the workstation/tablet browser, then you cannot print from RocketProfit Server & Profitsystem.
Printers may be installed by several methods: * Directly connected to a Desktop * WiFi Printer (AirPrint (IOS) or Google Cloud (Android) Print compatible * Networked, connected via cable to switch or router - BBL PREFERRED CONNECTION METHOD
Prior to attempting to PRINT via ProfitSystem,, each Tablet or Desktop workstation should be able to PRINT web-site pages or PDFs to any installed printer. This ability to print is required by ProfitSystem to PRINT customer receipts and other reports from ProfitSystem.
Utilizing the ProfitSystem's Server Universal Driver for IOS tablets and Androids/MACs/PCs, all printer output in ProfitSystem will display as a PDF print job. Once the PDF displays, then select a printer available to the Tablet or Desktop workstation for actual printing. Printers within the ProfitSystem are assigned on a Workstation/Tablet by Workstation/Tablet basis using the ProfitSystem Printer Form for each.

To copy the text from session to clipboard use Ctrl+C and to insert the text from clipboard use Ctrl+V.
But pay attention when you copy the text with Ctrl+C, wait some time before releasing the pushed Ctrl+C buttons, because if the requested clipboard text arrives after you release this key combination, the text will not be added to your environment clipboard. This way uses a native browser clipboard copy support initiated by Ctrl+C.
Alternatively you can use the clipboard menu to copy from and to insert the text into HTML5 session clipboard.
There you can just insert the text into HTML5 session clipboard or add it to clipboard and auto-initiate Ctrl+C on HTML5 session side to insert text. The clipboard menu can be opened via action menu or Shift + F11.
When you copy the clipboard with mouse inside a HTML5 session, the text gets sent to browser and as soon as you go out of browser focus, the clipboard menu appears automatically to inform you that there was a clipboard text and that you did not add it to your clipboard environment.
