26 | Workstation Maintenance "Printing Setup" Tab

This article covers an overview of the "Printing Setup" Tab for Workstation Maintenance.

The Printing Setup Tab is broken down into three (3) sections:

The Till Printing section is used to configure what Printer will be used and with which Format depending on what is being printed - e.g., when Printing a Receipt, set which Printer to Print to and the Format that will be Printed or when Printing Products to a Remote Printer, set which Remote Printer and the Format.
The BackOffice Printing section is used to configure Command Lines for use when Printing PDF Files and the directory for Reports.
Receipts Flags control when certain Receipt types will always be Printed.

Prerequisites

To access Workstation Settings, the applicable Operator Privileges will need to be enabled

Till Printing

There are 13 Printer Types that are available to use - Receipt, Table, Account, Del/Pickup, Prize, Other 1, Other 2, and 6 Remote Printers

This section allows for configuring which physical Printer will be used by the Workstation when Printing each of these Printer Types
The 6 Remote Printer Type names can be redefined in Venue Settings
These Printer Types are the same that are assigned to Printer Profiles which are assigned to Products for Remote Printing

Products (Organization/Global Level) are assigned a Printer Profile, Printer Profiles (Organization/Global Level) are assigned Printer Types, Printer Types (Workstation Level) are then assigned the physical Printer to Print to

The drop-down for each Printer Type allows for selecting from the Workstation's available list of Printers that have been set up as a Device/s for the Workstation

Below the Receipt Printer, each subsequent Printer can optionally be configured to Print to the "Same as Receipt" Printer
