• If one or more workstations are assigned, only those selected devices can send label print commands.

4. Saving and Behavior

• After selecting the devices -> autosave.
• The system stores the assigned POS Workstations in the database.
• When a label print is requested:
  • If the request comes from an assigned device, the label will be printed.
