Server Settings

• Specifying the service print groups on in the KDS server settings does not affect how they are displayed on at the KDS stations and how orders are formed on in KDS. They are required only for the process of selecting the already formed orders At KDS in KDS for the server. I.e. if some of the orders are not required at the server they can be cast off reset this way (to reduce , thus reducing the load on the server).
• If the Preparation Control function is not activated in the RK6 r_keeper 6 Editor for the service print feedflow, the service print groups will still be visible in the KDS display settings (ScreenOptions) and at the KDS server (Options), but in this case no orders will be sent to KDS from the cash register!
