Remarks on program function
Update basic data, i.e. programming, changing or clearing, is possible with this program. Data which has already been stored can be displayed for information.
A kitchen printer can be programmed, the interface and link to a processing unit defined and the device-specific operating type set.
The printer can be used as a POS printer or as a remote (kitchen) printer.
Note:
Please note that kitchen printers are controlled by
a process unit, type MICROS Retail OSCAR POS device, i.e. a processing unit of type MICROS Retail OSCAR POS
device must be installed on the system unit to which the remote printer
is physically connected..

Remarks on data fields
The following description deals with all available options for update of this basic data.
As with nearly all programs the following applies here:
- The entry mask for this program may differ in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program. Some data fields may be missing.
- There may be defaults or firmly defined selection options for some data fields. These cannot be updated in the current program.
- Fields with enforced entry defined are to be found in the entry masks as are fields where entry is optional.
- If the data record is updated over several pages of entry masks, the dialog window is reached by clicking onto the appropriate button with <Mouse key 1>.
- The same procedure also applies to call up of another update program from this program.
- In some cases you may find so-called "Switches" which are activated or deactivated by the user with <Mouse key 1>, depending on the setting. Activated switches have a dark top, deactivated switches are lighter
