RE: Receipt Printers

Two known ways for us:

One is to set a network printer with fixed I.P. as the second printer.
Two is to minimize your window and change the default printer to the other unit; this is not preferable but may be necessary if no network printer is available.  You can also configure this within Millennium (2003 phase 3) from the file printer options. 

A possible third way: I have not done this due to lack of need, but if each printer were on a different port it may be able to switch between them by selecting a different unit from your defined printers.  This might also work for shared printers also.  I would say yes, but am unsure of your settings and configurations.

In addition, be certain your sys admin has setup these additional printers and attached them as available options to the logon names.

For those of you with receipt printers, is there a way to toggle between a receipt printer and a "normal" Windows printer?


What I mean to say is that our staff want to be able to use a receipt printer AND a Windows based printer to print information from Millennium.

 

Currently, we do have a Millennium "receipt printer login" setup that gives staff the ability to print to a receipt printer.  Unfortunately, when staff login with this particular login, there doesn't seem to be an option to print the information from Millennium to any other printer other than the receipt printer.

 

In other words, even when staff try to select another printer, besides the receipt printer, the information from Millennium always goes to the receipt printer.

 

Hopefully there is a way to toggle back and forth between a receipt printer and a regular, 8 ½ X 11 printer.

 

Thanks.
