Devices and Printers

Devices and Printers are defined in the system to dictate system behaviour such as printing labels and opening tills.

You can choose to define a Profile by a physical machine or by a generic location, for example 'Godalming Reception' can be used by many computers and they will all use the same Till and Label printer. There is no requirement to setup the profiles for each computer name.
