- The Disys
Business Program relies heavily upon the concept of 'Point-Of-Sale'
(POS)
- The POS
configuration usually consists of an OKI320 or LX300 printer,
and an EPSON receipt printer directly linked to a cash-till.
These three items are considered to be the 'POS'.
They usually are sited on the TRADE-COUNTER
- Nominated
VDUs/NET-TERMs can print to a pre-selected 'POS'
- The OKI320/EPSON
LX300 printer can be connected directly to a serial port (e.g. Stallion
terminal server), or in some cases an MD510 vdu or NET-TERM
- The EPSON
receipt printer and connected cash-till usually connects to a serial
port.
(The cash-till connects to the EPSON receipt printer via a built-in
cable from the till, into the DK
socket on the EPSON)
- Generally,
CREDIT TICKETS are printed on the OKI320/EPSON LX300, and CASH
TICKETS are printed on the EPSON receipt printer
