Specific settings available for this workstation. Checking a box will confirm the presence of a workstation feature to TransActPOS.
Confirm
Confirmation of Yes or No is required for deletions, changes, etc. in TransActPOS program modules.
Camera Attached
A WebCam is attached to the workstation and is available for use. With a webcam attached to the workstation, the additional image capturing features are available within AR | Customer file, IC | Inventory File, and Service Tickets. Selecting the camera icon will allow you to test the configuration of the camera.
Use Time Server
Normally, changing the Windows system clock will change the times accordingly in TransActPOS. If you designate a workstation to serve as the system clock, it doesn't matter what you set the Windows clock at, it will automatically update according to the time specified on the defined workstation. Search for and select anyone of the defined workstations. This will automatically sync this workstation's clock to the selected workstation's clock. This will make sure that the workstation's time matches the "server's time." Again, the "server" can be any other workstation. See
this video for more information.

Extended Display
An extended display screen is attached to this workstation. The Extended Display option requires a second monitor to be attached to the workstation. The intent of the Extended Display is to present to the customer similar information that can be displayed on a "Display Pole" but in a larger format. The Extended Screen capabilities are dependent upon Microsoft Windows XP multiple monitor option. Consult your hardware vendor to enable this functionality. Workstations will require an additional monitor and video adapter.
Below is a snap shot of the entire expanded desktop which is available from within Microsoft Windows.
Once the Extended Display option is selected, the system will present the TransActPOS Extended Display screen on the desktop.
To reposition the screen, right-click on the extended screen, and select "Yes" to the Reposition and Size form question. Next, reposition the screen to the desired position, typically on the extended desktop viewed by the customer. Once the extended screen has been repositioned, save the position by right clicking on the screen and selecting "Save".

At the end of the sale, a summary of the transaction is presented.

Cash Drawer
If a Cash Drawer is attached to the workstation, select the type of communications to properly configure the drawer.
-
None : This is typically done for workstations that are used for non point-of-sale functions such as the inventory receiving workstation.
-
Printer : The printer style of attachment indicates that the cash drawer is physically attached to the cash drawer via a communications cable. In this configuration, the actual printed form contains a control character to open the cash drawer. Typically this is a "Control A" contained within a field of the
invoice form. (Note: The font of the control character field should be a control font from the attached receipt printer.)
-
If you are using an APG IP Drawer, select either APG480-TCP/IP or APG480-NetPro and then enter the IP address to the right of the smarttill button.
Drawer Slot Present
If the cash drawer has slots in the front for inserting checks, select this option to reduce the amount of times the drawer is opened.
2 Drawer Setup
The 2 Drawer Option will assign a use to a cash drawer when a shift is created. During the shift, only the assigned user can open the drawer and make transactions at the register. Since the system can support two cash drawers, only two users can be assigned to a workstation. During "Close Shift", the system will ask which drawer needs to be closed and will allow the user to continue onto the reconciliation screen as usual. Each cash drawer will be closed independently. Each drawer will have its own Z Number.
Go to
2 Drawer Setup within Equipment Installation Notes for information regarding physical setup of the drawers.
The following provides an outline for setting up and understanding 2 Drawer workstations.
1) Confirm that the current shift is closed. If open, close and reconcile the shift.
2) Confirm that
Fast Access is turned off in System > Company Setup > POS Information 2
3) Within System > Workstation > Cash Drawer, select the "2 Drawer" option.
4) Place the cash drawers and connect the Drawer A / Drawer B cables.
5) Begin a Shift and select the appropriate drawer when prompted.
6) When prompted, assign the appropriate user to the cash drawer.
7) Upon return to the main screen, the Begin Shift / Close Shift button will change according to the current shift status. In this example, an additional shift could be opened on the B Drawer.
8) The shift status button in the top right of the main menu will indicate the current Z number of the corresponding shifts.
9) During the Close Shift process, the system will prompt the user to select the appropriate drawer to close.
Open for Account Charges
Open cash drawer on account charges.
Unassigned/Assigned
