Locking and Unlocking POS Operations From the Property

When a workstation, transaction, or revenue center is locked, Autofire Checks continue to process. When a workstation sends a check to an order device using the Autofire function, the totals post to Reporting and Analytics Advanced and to the Check Journal Report.

To lock and unlock a workstation, transaction, or revenue center:

1. Sign on to the workstation.
2. Click the Workstation Control function key.
3. Click the workstation action you want to perform, click the workstations to receive the action, and then click OK.
