Thanks OP!I read the OP's detailed instructions (but haven't registered yet), but given the new info posted by others, is it possible to print just one and then make good quality (laser) photocopies of that?One need a lazer to do that. Much easier to just save a file and print as needed. Please consider the environment before deciding to print this coupon.

Wow, I didn't know Al Gore had a FW account!

yes, unlike Wags, you can hit $25 in spend WITH TAX. It's simply has to be $25 total (items plus tax) and it will scan just fine.

Wow, good to know! I could have gotten away buying less stuff.

How about scan order? If I buy say $25 of stuff and have $2 of manu. Q's, can I give the cashier the 5 off 25 first followed by the manu Q's? Or will the 5 off 25 come off because the order has fallen under $25

I was able to use the full size coupons, they scanned ok, although it took the cashier a few tries to get it to be recognized. I was apparently not the first customer to use them since she said someone else had brought one in earlier. No manager needed to accept it.

I realized after the fact that I should have given the cashier a couple of extras that I had with me, since she asked where I got them from.

Printed from a laser printer, the reduced size scanned fine.How much did you reduce it by? I've found that when I print normal size UPC's smaller it seems to mess things up, but obviously this is not a normal size UPC.Sorry for the late reply...just saw your post. This may not matter to you anymore, but I reduced the width down to 3.75" and it scanned on first try.

I noticed on my receipt that they do not appear to be treating this as a store coupon, so I was charged sales tax on the pre-coupon amount. This is definitely not correct -- they should be charging tax on the post-store coupon amount. I think I will email RA about this.

I am alomost scared to post as I dont want anyone jumping down my throat- I know OP's instructions are very clear- but when I went to print my coupons direct from the email link- It printed me 7 blank pages- almost like the coupons didnt load- any ideas why??

As always Thanks Mr. C for all your great posts that save me tons of $$$$

can't say, might be a communication problem between computer and printer. Reboot everything (power off/on both PC and printer) and try again with a new email address.

the stores in the city flat out refused to accept this. typical though as I never had any success in previous history to get them to even accept the printable manufacturer coupons.

pimba02 said:Thanks- will try..- I believe I have a similar problem with any of those coupon printer coupons- they never work for me even though I downloaded the software...This is completely different from the coupon printer programs. Worst case, install PDF Creator and print to there, or use Firefox to capture the coupon images and print them.
