Print Groups

Print Groups enable you to group similar documents together and print the entire group with one print command. This is especially useful for retailers who regularly need to print multiple copies of receipts that have slight differences in the designs. For example, some retailers keep a printed copy of the receipt at the store with the word "copy" on it (to prevent fraudulent returns). 
Basic Steps
1.    Add a new Print Group in Document Designer.
2.    Configure Print Preferences for that document type. Select the option to Use Groups and select the group you created.
3.    When printing at POS, select the option to Use Groups and select the group you created.

Add a new print group in Document Designer:
Launch Document Designer and log in.
 Click the Groups button.
Select an Area (e.g., POS Receipt).
Click the New button.
Enter a Group Name and select the designs to include in the group by moving them from the Available column to the Selected column. Use the arrow keys to move designs back and forth. Click OK to save the new group.
The Group Name is now listed in the design groups. Click Close. 

Configure Print Preferences to use groups
1.    Navigate to Admin Console > Node Preferences > Hardware > Print Preferences
2.    Select the Area or Subarea that has a group defined in Doc Designer. For example, POS Transactions area and POS Receipt sub area.
3.    Select a Default Action: Print or Print/Email.
4.    Select a Printer Type.
5.    Select a DEFAULT Print Design (this is required before using Groups).
6.    Select the USE GROUPS checkbox.
7.    Select the Report Group to use.
8.    Save the changes.  
Print Groups at POS
Go to Prism and create a new receipt. List any item and tender. Choose Print/Update.
Within the main print menu, select the 'Use Groups' checkbox in the upper right-hand corner. In the Print Design drop-down, select the desired Print Group. Click Print.
