If  Serial is selected, you will then have to enter a channel number, this
refers to the 2 standard channels on the machines, or the optional
channels on a serial interface card.
Because these machines use shared printing it is unlikely that you will
ever need additional channels.
        
If net is chosen for the printer interface type then you have to enter the
RPT number, this refers to the remote network kitchen printer this will be
numbered 1 to 9.

The next header is called type this refers to the printer name.
The name that is entered here is checked for in a file called
PRINTER.DEF
In this file the codes are set so the printout can be customized to your
requirements.
For example you may want extra line feeds, or large print, or bold print,
this can be set by editing the printer.def file and entering codes, that can
be found in the printers manual.

The remaining 2 headers on this screen are titled lines and top margin,
these only refer to slip printers and the lines refers to the number of 
lines available for the printing area, the top margin refers to the initial line
feed on the slip.
This would be useful for pre printed stationary.

After the Printer Configuration set up the next  selection choice on the
menu is Till Configuration.

There are quite a lot of settings on this screen. I will start with the Till
number. By entering a till number here  the configuration of that machine
will appear on the screen. All of the machines in the system have their
own unique configuration file

The terminal number of each machine is stored in a separate area. this
is in a file called rincs dot cfg.
The number that has been set in this file determines which configuration
file will be looked at.
