Setting and Changing the Default Printer

You can set a default printer when one of the printers is configured for the print job (for example, customer receipt or guest check), that printer is assigned to a printer group, and there is no default printer set for the workstation operator/printer type on the workstation. The default printer selections for the workstation operator/printer type combination automatically reset at Start of Day.

  1. To set your default printer for the current workstation:
    1. Click a tender media function key or click the Print button (if configured).
    2. On the Printer Assignment Needed dialog, select the printer to use for the print job, and then click one of the following buttons
      • Print and default: Select this option to print this time, and to set this printer as the default printer for the printer type. (You do not have to select a printer on the next print job.)

      • Print: Select this option to print one time. (You are prompted to select a printer again on the next print job.)

      If you previously selected a default printer for the printer type, the default printer is used for the print job, and you will not see the Printer Assignment Needed dialog.

  2. To change your default printer selection for the current workstation:
    1. Click the Change Default Printer Destination button.
    2. On the Assign Default Destination Printers dialog, select one or more printer types, and then click the Assign Printer button.
    3. On the Select a Printer dialog, select the printer, and then click OK.
