Overview

Every TrueOrder KDS must have one device designated as the Master,

POS

Attached

Device. In systems with just one device the choice is automatic and

there is nothing to configure. In multi-station systems that have more than 1

device one needs to be designated as the Master,

POS Attached

Device. Which

one to configure depends on your multi-station routing method:

•

KDS Menu Routing

–

All print jobs are sent directly to a main device. The

menu configuration and routing determine which stations items in an order

are sent to. This device needs to be the Master,

POS Attached

Device.

•

POS Menu Routing

–

All print jobs are sent from the POS directly to their

intended display stations. The POS determines which items are sent

where and all menu management remains on the POS. Any device can

be designated as the Master, POS Attached Device.
