FocalPoint Online Help

C-3 from the main menu

 

Objective

Set up one terminal record for each PC that will be using FocalPoint.

 

The terminal file allows you to define locations of workstations. While you can log in as any terminal from any location, the terminal file will define which printers are used for printing, along with cash drawer and other peripheral definitions.

 

 

When entering this program, you will see a list of all existing terminals. On the bottom of this screen, you will see the terminal you are currently logged in to. While logged in to this terminal you may only change printer assignments for that terminal. This is due to Windows printer naming conventions.

 

Active/De-Active/All

In the upper left corner, you may choose to see "active", "de-activated" or "all" Terminal records.
