booking receipt as a .jpeg file attached emails allows the use of the I-Fax/e-mail print
A common feature on many small business printers, especially the extremely common cannon imageCLASS is email to fax or internet fax (I-Fax). In order for the printer to use this protocol, the email address registered with printer must RECEIVE EMAILS with the desired document attached as a single .jpeg file or .TIFF-F (Class F). I have only validated this works with single page .jpeg files.
Checkfront allows us to send a copy of the receipt to one of our staff in an e-mail as plain text or HTML, it would be especially helpful and would increase the responsiveness of our employees to bookings if a copy of the receipt would be printed to the office when booking is paid for by using the I-Fax feature. compatibility would simply require the option to attach a copy of the receipt as a .jpeg file to the staff or customer. Then the checkfront platform would be compatible with internet fax protocol used not only by cannon, but many other printer companies as well!

Thank you for your post!
Currently, there isn't a way to attach an invoice as a .JPEG to email notifications but we do have a feature request that I have added your name and feedback to.
I can't say if or when this improvement could be made but we'll be sure to let you know if there are any related updates.
In the meantime, you could consider exploring our integration with Zapier as it allows you to easily connect Checkfront with other services which may allow you to print the invoice, or save the email as a jpeg to be printed, for example.
I hope this helps and feel free to get in touch at support@checkfront.com if we can assist further.
Best,

Thank you for reaching back to us!
As our Developmental Roadmap is decided based on the overall need, and value-added to all members of the system we do not offer paid custom development for features.
With that said I can completely empathize with how this feature would greatly benefit your business and I would be happy to provide this feedback to our Product Team on the associated Feature-Request. I still won't have any ETA to share regarding if or when this could be implemented into Checkfront but I would be happy to provide you with any updates as they come my way!
In the meantime, if you have any other questions please feel free to reach out to us at support@checkfront.com and we would be happy to help.
All the best,

I'm not familiar with the I-Fax feature, but I would expect to be possible to send an email with a PDF to a Cannon printer. (E-mail Print feature)
You may have to use Zapier to grab the actual PDF file from the URL provided by the CheckFront notification.
Good luck
