Printer station: also show on a screen

Print the chit and also display the tickets on a kitchen screen — one setting per printer station.

A printer station can also appear on the web KDS screen if you want both paper and a screen view. The setting is Also show on a screen on the station's page.

  • Off (default) — the station only prints. It stays out of the web KDS display, which keeps the screen list uncluttered with print-only stations.
  • On — the station prints and shows its tickets on a kitchen screen. Ticking it opens the screen settings in the same Output box, right below the printer ones — the pacing alerts and the screen links, so you can open the display on a device. Because the station now has a screen, it can also take a KDS mode and a Screen card layout in How this station works. See Get and manage kitchen screen links.

Remember to click Save — the tickbox doesn't apply on its own.

Tip

If a printer station's tickets are unexpectedly showing on a screen, this toggle is on — turn Also show on a screen off. See Troubleshooting kitchen display problems.
