How do I set up a new POS machine?
To create and configure a new POS machine:
- Go to Program → POS Machine Settings from the main menu
- Click New Machine (or your administrator creates one)
- Fill in the General Tab:
- Enter a Machine Name (e.g., "Register 1")
- Select the Default Location
- Select the Tax Rate
- Set the Startup Page to "Point of Sale" if this is a dedicated register
- Configure POS Settings:
- Choose Standard or Compact POS mode
- Set display options (which columns to show)
- Configure receipt printing settings
- Configure Payment Methods:
- Enable the payment types you want to accept (Cash, Credit, Debit, etc.)
- Configure split payment settings if needed
- Set cash drawer auto-open preferences
- Click Save
After saving, the machine is ready for use. When staff open the POS on this computer, the system detects the machine and applies its settings.
For full details on each setting, see the POS Machine Settings articles in the Point Of Sale category.
