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.
Each terminal will have its own device setting programming. To simplify device mapping when multiple terminals are in an IRC network, it is best to program your devices to the same port on each Sam4POS terminal. For example: all Grill Printers on COM2, all Beverage printers on COM1, etcetera.
