Configuring OnSite POS

Configuring OnSite POS involves setting up each POS's hardware, printing and default screen settings, and the global settings and behavior for your OnSite POS, such as your company logo, and settings for making sales from the POS screen.

To set up your OnSite POS stations

In the station setup you configure the settings that are specific to each station: POS hardware, printing configuration, and defaults for the POS screen, including tax configuration, search settings, and customer type.

  1. In OnSite StoreMaster on the File menu click Station Setup.

Station name Set the name for this POS station. This name appears on receipts and can be reported on with OnSite’s Reporting tools.
Printing

You can set your printing format to be standard, letter-sized paper, suitable for regular laser printers, or a receipt printer. Formatting is automatically adjusted for each size. You can also disable the print dialog box when printing. By entering a positive value in the Print Copies field, that number of invoices will be printed without a dialog box. This is applicable only to Invoices – a print dialog will appear for other documents. If you set the value to zero, a dialog box appears for Invoices as well.
Card Swipe Choose the supported card swipe device for credit card transactions, either ID Tech or ID Tech Omni 3237
Terminal Select Manually Send to require the user to select a card-type payment method to send payment to Cayan Genius terminal, or Automatically Send to have the payment sent to the Genius terminal as soon as the user clicks Check Out.
