DEVICES
Now that you have created your Device Profiles ( see Article: DEVICE PROFILES )
It's time to assign them to your DEVICES !
DEVICES: the name given to your POS / Tablet. It is Unique to every POS / Tablet. This is where you set your Printing Preferences.
DEVICE PROFILES: the Workflow & Display Options that you want to give to each Device. They can be unique to each Device or reused across several Devices.
For example, If you have:
1 x POS: Easy, you can just create 1 Device Profile & assign it to your Device.
Several POS: You can reuse your Device Profiles or assign different ones according to your needs.

⚠️ Because every DEVICE is UNIQUELY PAIRED to a certain POS or TABLET, you need to be careful when selecting: if you select the wrong one, your POS might print to the wrong printer or be linked to another terminal.
⚠️ NEVER USE ' Oolio Support ' as it will not be linked to any of your Printers / Terminals & is only used by our team for testing / troubleshooting purpose.
