Sam4POS KP Routing Supplement v2.1 - 4 - Introduction
Introduction
Overview
The printer setup and routing on the Sam4POS terminals is very flexible. We are able to connect Serial or
ethernet printers to the terminal. Each station in the system can have printers assigned and mapped. Kitchen
printers in a system can be shared by multiple stations.
If multiple Kitchen Printers are used, each printer can use a specific Header/Footer to help in identifying the
printers in the system.
The KP Mapping & KP Group programming changed significantly beginning at Sam4POS v1.0.80. This
application guide describes both the new and previous programing methods.
A new feature in added in v1.0.80 and later allows for selecting to print all items on one ticket to the KP,
each item on a separate ticket to the KP or a combination of all items/separate items. We can also control the
number of tickets to print at the KP.
