Printing the delivery note
You can set up printing of the delivery note on a receipt tape or A4 sheet.
Before setting up the delivery note printing, make sure you have a ready-made layout or create one.
In r_k Delivery fill in the fields:
- Print format — select the format on which the delivery note will be printed
- A4 sheet — You can create an A4 sheet template yourself. Read more about creating a template in the article Delivery Note
- Receipt tape — r_k Delivery takes the receipt tape template from the r_keeper management station. Read more about creating a receipt tape template in the article Delivery Note on Receipt Tape
- Cash register ID — please specify the cash register ID
- Document Presentation Guid — please specify the document GUID.
- Print the delivery note immediately after the order is transferred to the kitchen — Enable this setting to print the receipt tape delivery note automatically after the order is sent to the kitchen. The field is only available when a receipt tape is selected.
The cash register ID and GUID should be taken from the r_keeper management station.
To speed up the work and minimize errors, instead of manual entry, select an option from the drop-down list.

- Save the changes.
Now the selected layout will work correctly for the delivery note.
Adding an order number to the layout
To add an external order number from the r_k Delivery system to the layout:

- Select the Properties group for orders
- Right-click the Extended Property Types field and select New Extended Property Type
- Set the title and system name: extordername
Please note the case: the system name and title must be written in lowercase letters. - Save the changes.
