< Back-Up Kitchen Printer >
Depending on programming [SF-88], each kitchen printer may have been assigned a back-up in case of failure,
intentional shut down, changing paper rolls, etc. After a transaction is closed and the ECR attempts to send a
message to a down kitchen printer, an alarm sounds, and the one of warning messages (71 ~ 74) "kitchen printer
1 ~ 4 error" is displayed.
In the example below, KP 1 at the kitchen shuts down. KP 2 at the bar, programmed as the back-up, prints
orders from the kitchen. The warning message #71 (KP 1 error) is displayed on the ECR and all the data sent to
the kitchen printer (KP 1) which is down is printed on the back-up kitchen printer (KP 2). The data of the two
kitchen printers are printed according to increasing kitchen printer number.
