Custom tags

An order ticket contains data, which the PPS needs. The data structure is predefined by Stoll and cannot be changed. However, a ticket also contains a customizable data set, which you can determine freely. This data set is integrated in the order XML via the STOLL:CUSTOM tag block. A schema of the individual data set can be found in the D:\PPS\SampleTickets\CustomTicket.xsd file. In this file you find a description of the tags that can be used.

Double clicking on the example order files you can view the visualization of the data:

	Height	optional	Shows the height in pixels or with QRCODE, the edge length in the hard copy. If the value is not specified, 100 is used. With QRCODE, sufficient height is to be selected depending on the number of characters, the resolution of the printer and the scanner.
