KDS Initialization

When a KDS Display is launched, it does not show the toolbar until it has connected to the KDS Controller. To exit the KDS Display application during initialization, press the Q key using a keyboard. If a Windows 32 KDS client detects that a Simphony service host is running while initializing (see POS Operations and KDS Sharing the Same Client for more information), it shows a Close button on the KDS Display application window frame before the display connects to the KDS Controller.

After the connection is established, you can use either of the following methods to exit the KDS Display application:

• Click the Close button on the KDS toolbar.

• Press the Close button on the KDS bump bar.

• Press the Q key on the keyboard.
