Communication With A Remote Printer (Option); Second (Back-Up) Remote Printer - Sharp ER-A770 Instruction Manual

10. Communication with a remote printer (option)

When a remote printer is included in the inline system, order data is output to the remote printer
according to preset data on the remote printer.
The remote printer is used to print all or part of the data entered at a machine. It is also called a
kitchen printer. It can also be operated at a location other than the kitchen.
If a remote printer number is assigned to a department or PLU, the information on the
department or PLU is output to the remote printer when an entry for the department or PLU is
made and the transaction is finalized at a machine.
The data which can be output to a remote printer is as follows:
1) Item text
2) Quantity*
3) Unit price*/Price*
4) Amount*
5) PLU/department code*
* Whether to print or not is selectable

(1) Second (back-up) remote printer

A second kitchen printer can be assigned to each remote printer for automatic back-up.
If an error occurs during data output to a remote printer, the data is output to the second
remote printer assigned to it.
If an error occurs during data output to the second remote printer, the data is output to the
receipt printer (the receipt printed at this printer is called a chit).
For how to specify the chit print format, see page 41.
Up to two remote printers can be preset to print data on each item (PLU or department).
If two printers are preset to print data on each item, the data is simultaneously output to
both printers.
If either of these printers encounters an error, the data is output to the backup printer.
If the backup printer encounters an error, one chit receipt is printed.
