13. Communication with a remote printer (optional)
When a remote printer is included in the inline system, order data is output to the remote printer
according to its preset data regarding the remote printer assignment.
The remote printer is used to print all or part of the data entered at a machine. It is also called a
kitchen printer. The remote printer can also be operated at a location other than the kitchen.
If a remote printer number is assigned to a department/PLU/UPC, the information on the
department/PLU/UPC is output to the remote printer when an entry is made and the transaction
is finalized at a machine.
The data which can be output to a remote printer is as follows:
1) Item text
2) Quantity*
3) Unit price*/Price*
4) Amount*
5) PLU/UPC/department code*
* Whether to print or not is selectable
Up to three remote printers can be preset to print data on each item (PLU/UPC/department).
If three printers are preset to print data on each item, the data is simultaneously output to preset
printers.
If either of these printers encounters an error, the data is output to the backup printer.
If the backup printer encounters an error, one chit receipt is printed.
(1) Second (back-up) remote printer
A second kitchen printer can be assigned to each remote printer for automatic back-up.
If an error occurs during data output to an assigned remote printer, the data is output to the
second remote printer.
If an error occurs during data output to the second remote printer, the data is output to the
receipt printer (the receipt printed at this printer is called a chit).
For how to specify the chit print format, see page 41.
