Go to Managers Menu> Register Setup> Printer/Devices setup
This is where devices are assigned to act as the remote printers for this register.
The first field on the left, “Printer Name”, is where the MicroSale name for the remote printer is entered.
- Using a keyboard, type in the name you wish to use. This is the name you will use to assign your menu items to a remote printer.
- The next field, “Available Printers”, select the drop-down menu where you select the available printer ports on this register. Once the printer port is selected the “Device Name” field will populate with the Windows name of the device selected.
- Select Save after assigning each remote printer.
Like in receipt printer setup, a “Failed Printer” can be assigned for each remote printer. Again, In order to use the “Failed Printer” option, the vendor specific drivers for that printer must be used; “Generic/Text Only” will not work.
Each remote printer can also be set to route to another printer based on the destination of the order. Once you have a remote printer selected so that it’s assigned device is populated you can click on the drop-down menus for “Go Order” as well as “Delivery Order” and assign a different device for one or both types of orders. To enable this feature you must also go to Managers Menu> Register Setup> Register Options by Terminal> Printing/Cash Drawer Options> Advanced Options, and put a check in the box next to “turn on remote printer routing for go and delivery orders”.
EACH PRINTER USED IN MICROSALE REQUIRES THE PRINTER ESCAPE CODES! PLEASE FOLLOW THIS DOCUMENT.
