Some venues use a combination of integrated POS printing and direct printing. There are a few reasons to do this.
-
Some venues don't use their POS printers, but still want sales to go into their POS. By enabling "Also print on direct printer", venues can send me&u orders to print on the printers provided by me&u.
-
Venues with pop up traders or food trucks can set up a me&u printer to send orders to these vendors, without them needing a POS terminal.
Setup
If you'd like to use this hybrid method, you first need to set up your direct printer as well as ensure your POS has been integrated into me&u. Once that has been completed, go to Venue Details > Integration Setup and toggle on "Also print on direct printer".
There are a few things to consider when utilising this method:
- Every item must have a POS ID and a Printer Group
- Printing must be turned off on the POS otherwise orders will be printed twice (once through the POS printer and once through me&u)
- Ensure every Printer Group is assigned to a printer
