Look at this another way, customer purchases goods at the store and some items need to be picked up from the delivery section. You can flag these to print on the "despatch printer". This software is an additional option. New file called STKPRINTERS.CFG has been introduced to associate departments to Windows Printer Names. Please refere to the KnowledgeBase for additional information.
* (PPOS01) - RapidFire POS has a new option in RAPID.CFG called "sPrintCallNumber=Y".
