Print Job Config works in tandem with Product Items. Each items is assigned a "Print Category" during programming. This tells the item which "Remote" printers to print to such as the "Hot Line", "Salad Printer" or "Bar". In Print Job Config, the printers are assigned and the print categories are set to print to that specific printer.
Example: A Shrimp Caesar would need to go to the "Hot Line" and "Salad Printer" because different areas of the kitchen prepare different parts of this dish.
In the Product item, enter a print category. Using this example, Print Category #4 was decided.
In Print Job Config the "Hot" line is told to print any items with Print Category 4 attached to it. The "Salad" line is also told to print Category 4. This is done with an "ON/ OFF" feature per printer.
Some items will only go to one printer such as bar items. In that example, Print Category on bar items is 2 and the Print Job "Bar 1" has Print Category 2 "ON"
The more "Remote" printers at a location, the more print jobs there can be.
To name a "Print Job" click on the section "Print Job Name" and type the name of the remote printer. The more common the name, the easier to work within the print job section. For Bar Remote printers, use only the bar names are listed.
NOTE: Print Category 8 is reserved for items that print to the guest receipt only.
Print Job Name:
This is the name that will print on top of the remote print job.
Bar-1 through Bar-4 will determine which bar the remote print job will print to. Remember that in Job Code Config/Bar Printing, assign Bar-1 through Bar-4 to each job code.
Sushi will use the Sushi lowest and highest table numbers located in the "Restrictions" tab. Enter the lowest and highest sushi bar table numbers so when the sushi print job prints it will be restricted for the patrons sitting at the sushi bar.
