Single Product Printing improves your service speed and order accuracy by providing clear dockets or labels for every item ordered. This is compatible with most standard receipt and kitchen printers for paper dockets, while sticky label printing requires compatible label printer models such as the Epson TM-L90 or Epson TM-L100.
Single Product Printing is not compatible to be used simultaneously with Advanced Printing and the Courses feature on the POS.

Configuring the Epson TM-L90 label printer
