Introduction

Structure & functions in the home area

Checkout & user information

Top left you can see:
  1. The checkout selected when Auto-login (automatic login) is enabled.
  2. The current user, or if different, the user set for Auto-login.
This information helps you quickly verify that you are working at the correct checkout and logged in with the correct profile.

Printer Display
For each printer, the following is displayed:
  1. Printer name (e.g., "New Printer")
  2. Printer connection type
  3. Status (e.g., "Online")
Clicking "Device settings" takes you directly to the area where you can manage printers and, if applicable, your Wisepad3.
