The printer defined here (primary or backup) always appears in the Destination Printers list on the POS client, even if you do not add it to the Destination Printer Group. Creating, Editing, and Removing Printer Groups contains more information.
Oracle Hospitality recommends that you assign the same printer model and format for the backup printer to ensure that checks format properly on other printers.
Selecting a Destination Printer Group overrides the printer selected for the printer type.
Printers with the option Selectable as Destination Printer set belong to a default Destination Printer Group called All Destination Printers.
If you define a Destination Printer Group for the Backup Printer, the workstation operator is prompted at the time of printing for both the primary printer (if it has a group defined) and the Backup Printer.
