Logical Printer

Logical Printer

The Logical printer option from the Workstation menu allows to program logical printers for different locations in the restaurant. Logical printers are conceptual (not shared physical) printers who you use to program revenue centers. For example, you can program different logical printers for Grill, Cold Table, and Dessert even if only one shared printer exists at the workstation.

The Back-Office separates all orders by logical printer and prints different chits on the shared printer. You also may use logical printers to distribute the orders to different locations. For example: There are two bars (Dining and Lounge), each with a shared printer. In a non-peak period, the Dining Bar is closed. Workstations set to logical printer 'Bar' have orders which go to either the dining or lounge bar shared printer during peak times, and redirect to the lounge bar shared printer during non-peak times. The Redirection Table option has fields used to program logical printers to the shared printer of your choice

Separate Order

If you enable this option, that logical printer will print a separate coupon for each sales item.

Summary Only

Enable this option to override any compilation option and remove any customer information. With this option, all ordered items will appear in a simple list, without compilation and without customer information. The star character ( * ) that normally prints to indicate a change of plate is also not printed.

NOTE: This option overrides the Compilation and Compilation By Customer options from Point of Sale Control / Revenue Center / Options / Kitchen.

Compile Main Items

Enable this option to further simplify the kitchen printout. With this option enabled, all modifiers will be removed from the printout and the identical main items will be compiled.

NOTE: This option becomes available only if the Summary Only option is also enabled.
