Creating Printer Names before setting up your menu will save time and prevent mistakes later on. Printer names are created first and then assigned to menu items. Up to 6 printers (excluding the receipt printers) can be attached to individual menu items. This is useful for restaurants with multiple bar prep areas or kitchen stations.
ID Screen > Register Setup > Printers / Devices Setup
Only one aspect of the printer setup screen pertains to the menu. For full instructions on configuring printers in Windows and MicroSale, please reference the printer setup guide.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. In the teal section of the Printer Setup screen, type in a name for a printer, such as Kitchen, Expo, Patio Bar, etc
2. On the right of the printer name, click the dropdown arrow under Available Printers and select Ne00:. This shows the Device Name (this is the device name in your Windows configuration). Keep selecting ports until the correct device name is displayed to the right. If you do not have printers installed, you can keep the Available Printers at “None”.
For menu programming, it is important to have a printer name assigned to the menu items as you build the menu so that you do not have to go back to each individual item later and assign items to printer names.
3. Click Save Remote. Note: you MUST save each remote printer individually.
