Redirection Tables are used to route printouts so that they print at the appropriate printer in the restaurant. Printer routes can be set by mode. This means that a certain POS workstation can print at one printer in the morning during the breakfast period, and print at another printer during the lunch period or the dinner period.
Before setting up redirection tables:
make sure that Logical Printers, Physical Printers and Shared Printers are setup.
To make use of redirection tables, the option Automatic Redirection Table must be enabled in Point of Sales Control > View > Options > Printing.
Optionally, the option Redirection table by Revenue Center may be used to control redirection tables by Revenue Center instead of by Mode. This option is also located in Point of Sales Control > View > Options > Printing.
