Set up option 5097 “Default printer # for batch print from POS Order ViewerEnter the printer number the system will use when printing orders from the POS Order Viewer when you press <Print Trxs>, and in Batch Invoicing when you press <Print>. The printer must be an Eagle for Windows printer defined in MPS (see the topic "Setting up Network Report Printing" for more information).
   Enter the MPS printer number of the listener PC that points to the laser printer where you want the documents selected in the POS Order Viewer to print. The listener PC must be set up for Enhanced Forms in Device Configuration.
   - Orders or Special Order sprint at the printer entered in the "* Order" row of Device Configuration, Transfers print at the printer entered in the "* Transfer" row, and Estimates print at the printer entered in the "* Estimate" row.
   
   The enhanced form used to print the following documents is defined in the corresponding options:
   * Orders or Special Orders - 7523 "Enhanced Form for order documents"
   * Transfers - 7583 "Enhanced Form for transfer documents"

2. Verify that option 5093 “Terminal used when updating POS Orders from outside of POS” is set correctly for printing transactions in the POS Order Viewer and in Batch Invoicing (note: this option also applies to report RBI (Batch Invoicing),  report ROO run with Backorder Option B (fill backorders), and printing pick tickets.

3. If you use a Printing Plan that has prompts (for example, a prompt for number of copies), then do the following:

• Set option 7734 “Print Delivery Instructions or Custom Printing Plan” to be kept by terminal

• Create a Printing Plan without prompts

• Enter the name of this plan in option 7734 "Print Delivery Instructions or Custom Printing Plan" for the terminal running the Listener where you’ll be printing these orders.

4. Assign security bit 860 “Select 'Save and Print' for Order/Special Order/Service Order/Estimate” to employees who can use the <Print Trxs> button in the POS Order Viewer, and the <Print> button in Batch Invoicing. This security bit also applies to printing other transaction in POS.
