Register-specific printing offers advanced control over your printing setup by allowing different rules and settings for each register. This is ideal for setups with multiple service points or Bluetooth printers tied to individual registers. 

To set up register-specific printing, you'll need to enable the Advanced Printing feature and be on the Extend plan. Check your plan by navigating to the subscriptions tab in Back Office.
