Sharing Printers; Network Reports - QUORION QMP 3396 User Manual

7.5.5 Sharing Printers

It is possible to share printers in the network. All printers (external and internal) in the
network can be shared. When a printer is shared the register will automatically print the
tickets at the END of the transaction because it has to sent a complete ticket to a shared
printer. When you want to use a printer as a shared printer you MUST program the printer
as a network printer in ALL registers which use this printer. In order to activate a printer as
a network printer you must program the register and port to which the printer is connected.
Note the port# 0 means internal printer. The port parameter of the printer programming (all
printers) is RRP where RR is the register# (maximum 24) and P is the port# (0-6).
Example 1:
Internal thermal printer of REGISTER# 2 as a network receipt printer.
PARAMETER 9 value 2 which means thermal internal
PARAMETER 10 as 20 which means register#2 and port# 0.
Note that you must program these values in all registers which use this printer.
Example 2:
External EPSON TM-88 printer of REGISTER# 1 port# 2 as a network KP1 printer.
PARAMETER 21 value 3 which means EPSON TM-88
PARAMETER 22 as 12 which means register#1 and port# 2.
Note that you must program these values in all registers which use this printer.
Note: When using a slip printer as shared network printer the register checks the paper
when the transaction is closed. This means that it will always print on the slip when the
option print on slip is activated even when compulsory slip is not set.

7.5.6 Network Reports

It is possible to set OPTION 1-8 in a USER REPORT which will automatically make this
report a NETWORK report. Note that also the NETWORK SIZE (PARAMETER 55) must
be programmed. Whenever a USER report is taken with this option set the register will
check if all registers are online and take a consolidated report. When not all register are
online the register will give an error an not take the report. You must first switch on the
register or disable it with program mode 99.
It is also possible to take a USER REPORT as network report without setting OPTION 1-8.
When you add 1000 to the report number the register will also take the USER report as a
network report.
It is also possible to take a SYSTEM REPORT as network report When you add 10000000
to the system report code the register will also take the SYSTEM REPORT as a network
report.
