Remote Printing Module Setup Guide

 

NOTE: AccuPOS Retail Remote Printing Module will only work with AccuPOS Retail GOLD 4.15 and higher.

 

 

INSTALLATION

 

Double click the Remote.exe file, which can be found on your AccuPOS Retail CD-ROM in the “Remote” folder.  Click  “Unzip” to extract the files.

 

 

INVENTORY CHANGES

 

For Remote Printing to function correctly, you must define the TYPE field for your inventory items. For information on setting up the TYPE field, please consult the Initial Setup Guide for your interface, which can be found on the AccuPOS Retail CD or in the downloads section at http://www.attitudepositive.com

 

 

PRINTER SETUP

 

The printer to be used with the Remote Printing Module does not need to be attached to the station running Point of Sale and Remote Printing. However, if it is not on the same system, it does need to be available through the network. We advise giving the printer a short, easy to remember name, such as “KITCHEN” or “WAREHOUSE.”

 

 

CONFIGURATION

 

Using Windows Explorer, browse to the “C:\Program Files\Attitude POSitive\Remote\” folder. Double click RemoteDisplay.jar to open the configuration window. Click on “NEW ROW”. Under “Item” choose the TYPE you want to print remotely. In the “Printer” field select the printer you wish the items to print to. For “Font Size” enter the point size you would like the tickets to print. (We recommend starting at 10, then adjusting according to your preferences if need be.)

 

RUNNING REMOTE PRINTING

 

To start Remote Printing, double click the “Remote.bat” file found in the “C:\Program Files\Attitude POSitive\Remote\” folder.  Remote Printing is designed to always be running in the background. You only need to have one instance open, no matter how many stations you are using. We recommend keeping the Remote Printing Module on the Management Station.
