  • Page 150: Printer & Kv Routing

    Printer & KV Routing The printing system of an SPS-500 register or system of registers is completely flexible. Up to 40 printers can be defined and connected to any available serial port on any register within a system. Multiple printer functions can be assigned to the same printer, giving added flexibility.
  • Page 151 3. Finally, proceed with the parts of this program that pertain to your application:  If you are using a kitchen video, select Kitchen Video Routing to designate the port # and the register # where the video controller is attached. You can also define a backup printer in case communication with the video controller is disrupted.
  • Page 152 NOTE: All registers are updated with changes made to this program at any register. Because it is sometimes necessary to change kitchen printer routing depending upon the time of the day, (for example, separate hot and cold food kitchens may be active during lunch and a single kitchen active during dinner) you can make assignments for four different periods.

For example, separate levels might be required for different lunch/dinner menus. Or, within a restaurant different keyboards might be set up for pre-check, bar and/or cashier stations. Each register might contain the functions for each station on a separate level, so that any register could function at any station by simply changing keyboard levels and key legend sheets.
