Managing Dynamic printing
The Dynamic Printing allows you to link multiple printers to the same Point of Sale (POS), enabling the same invoice to be printed simultaneously on several devices, such as the cashier printer, kitchen printer, and warehouse printer.
This feature is ideal for businesses that require automatic distribution of invoice copies across multiple departments, ensuring fast order execution and accurate coordination between sections.
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up and managing the Dynamic Printing, so you can perform synchronized invoice printing directly from POS screens or within invoices effortlessly
