Floor/Pass Printer Settings

Description

 

This menu item is used to configure the printer settings for the Floor/Pass Printer. The Floor Printer is used by wait staff at the pass. Floor Dockets print in Table seat order, therefore making table service simpler.

 

It is however common practice to print multiple copies of the Kitchen Docket (since they are also able to print seat numbers) and use the second copy as the Floor Docket. Thus avoiding the need for an extra Floor/Pass Printer. Floor/Pass Docket Printing can also be done from the Kitchen Video.

 

To Be Considered

 

  1. Sites with more than one SwiftPOS Touch terminal should configure their printers in the SwiftPOS Back Office here.

 

Pre-Requisites

 

  1. If no Floor Printer exists in the list of Peripherals, then it will need to be added.
