📄Workstation Maintenance "Printing Setup" Tab

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

Overview

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

  1. 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.
  2. The BackOffice Printing section is used to configure Command Lines for use when Printing PDF Files and the directory for Reports.
  3. Receipts Flags control when certain Receipt types will always be Printed.
