Description

Set up the Aumentum workstations for scanning, receipt printing, and slip printing. When you access this screen, only the workstation list and the current workstation (if one is selected) are displayed.

NOTE: The available billing and cashiering printers must first be set up through Configuration > Printer Settings.

Steps to Add a Workstation

  1. On the Select or Add a Workstation screen, click New.

  2. In the Workstation Information panel, enter the workstation name.

  3. If the workstation has a tax bill printer, make a selection from the Billing Printers: Tax bill drop-down list. Also select the paper tray to use and make a selection from the Default print drop-down list to specify how many copies are printed by default.

  4. Make a selection from the Cashiering printers drop-down list, which specifies where the workstation is connected. For an 8.5 x 11 receipt printer or a Surplus notice printer, select the name of the printer from the list of preset printers, as well as the Paper tray to use.

  5. Set up a small receipt printer or slip validation if you are installing a peripheral printing device.

    IMPORTANT: Check with your Aumentum Support representative before purchasing or installing a receipt or slip printer. In the first field, enter the ProgID of the OPOS Service Object, then enter the LDN and select the brand of printer.
