Node Preferences > Hardware > Printer Types

Printers in retail environments typically have specific specialized uses. For example, the printer used for printing price tags is usually different from the printer used to print receipts. Likewise, there might be a dedicated back-office printer to print POs, vouchers, or slips.
In Node Preferences > Hardware > Printer Types, define the printer types used in your environment. A set of default printer types is defined (Receipt, Tag), but you can define you own types in Node Preferences > Hardware > Printer Types. After defining Printer Types, assign a printer and printer type to individual workstations in the workstation record.
To add a printer type, click the "+" button. Type the name of the Printer Type, based on its intended use (e.g. "Receipt", or "Tag") and then save the changes.

  • Click the pencil icon to edit.
  • Click the 'X' to delete.
