POS terminal printer setup

Office Toolbar » Food Service » Printer Setup

This section sets up printer assignment for the POS stations. This is performed at each station.

1. Open's Cash Drawer: Select the printer the cash drawer is assigned to. The port is the connection the printer uses. If these features aren't set to match the printer, the cash drawer will not open.

2. Print Receipt: This is the receipt printer. It is usually the same as the Cash Drawer.

For proper operation, set the default printer in windows to be the Receipt Printer. From the Windows Start button, go to Control Panel - Printers and Faxes. Right click on the receipt printer and set it as the Default Printer.

3. To save paper, you may prompt customers for receipt or only print on request. The default is to always print. Note: requiring employees to give the customer the receipt is an excellent form of employee theft control.

4. Prep Station Receipts: Add station printers to print out preparation instructions for items purchased at the register. You should add as many stations as you think you will need. Tip: If you think you will have a salad prep station, a pizza station a drink station and a fry station.

6. Expediting Printer: This is for the expediter. This print out is the full print out of the prep receipts in one consolidated print out.

Kitchen Printer Fonts

Usually printer setup is straightforward. There may be some reasons to change the fonts of the print out. For example, a different brand than Epson, or the font size needs to be increased. Advanced printer fonts may need to be assigned. These fonts would be set from the advanced button for each printer being used. Each section must be set to the appropriate fonts.
