< Back-Up Kitchen Printer >
Depending on programming [SF-108 ~ 111], back-up printer can be assigned in case of communication failure,
intentional shut down, changing paper rolls, etc. After a transaction is closed and the ECR attempts to send a
message to a down kitchen printer, an alarm sounds, and the one of warning messages (81 ~ 88) "kitchen printer
1 ~ 8 error" is displayed.
In the example below, KP 1 at the kitchen shuts down. KP 2 at the bar, programmed as the back-up, prints
orders from the kitchen. The warning message #81 (KP 1 error) is displayed on the ECR and all the data sent to
the kitchen printer (KP 1) which is down is printed from the back-up kitchen printer (KP 2). The data of the two
kitchen printers are printed according to increasing kitchen printer number.
The following example shows data of food, that could not be transmitted to KP 1, are printed out of KP 2. In
this situation, KP 2 placed at the bar is used for the back-up printer of KP 1.
