[Web4lib] sequential numbering of receipts?

[Kevin Devine]

Are the financials printed on one computer or all the circulation 
computers.  We have a program written in-house that modifies the output 
of receipts so that certain things can be modified.  For us, it allows 
us to extract the patron's name for a reserve and put it bold and big at 
the top of the receipt.  I know it was programmed here and for TSP100s, 
but I don't know about customizing it...

PS - If you find something that does this, I'd be interested to hear.
