Printer & Kv Routing - Sam4s SPS-500 Series Program Reference Manual

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. The internal printer (single station) on
the SPS-530 and the receipt/journal printers on the SPS-520 can be defined in the same manner as external
printers and can receive data from other registers in the same network.
1. Before programming here, you must first:

See "Define Port" in S Mode Programming to define the type of device (i.e. printer or kitchen video)
that is connected to a serial port and to match the baud rate/parity/etc. between the serial port and the
printer. This program also controls the feed lines before and after printing, the logo size, and cutting
options.

See "Printer Driver Selections" if you are using a printer other than the printers with predefined
drivers, or if you need to customize a driver for a printer.
2. Next, assign a port for each printer. Select SYSTEM PRINTER CONFIGURATON to assign the
printer number (1-40), give it a 10 character descriptor (i.e. salad prep, receipt, or detail) and identify the
port # and the register # to which it is attached. In addition, you can identify a back-up location for
information designated to go to the printer. (For example, if the salad printer is not functioning, then
information destined for that printer could be sent to a different printer.)
