Adding a Kitchen printer in aloha

[itsgreektome]

Hello all

I currently have a kitchen printer at on end of the bar i want to add another printer on the other end of the bar printing the same.My question is can i do this by using a cat 5 splitter and running two printers that way? or can i use a switch? 2ply paper is not an option i want to use.

First see if your printer is network (opos) or serial. On the back if the cat5 cable attaches directly to the printer and there is a blinklig light next to it the printer is network (opos) and you can use a switch to communicate with another printer using a switch. If the printer is serial there is an adapter atached to the printer, it has 2 thumb screws, you cannot use a cat5 splitter but you can pin out the necessary wires, the printer only uses 3.
