We have a video guide on how to set up your Point of Sale screen - Setting up the POS Touch Screen

Layout Design Mode

1. Layout - Allows you to store and change between different POS layouts.
   
2. Columns - Adjust how many columns you want your POS layout to use.
   
3. Rows - Adjust how many rows you want your POS layout to use.
   
4. Touch Button Spacing - Adjust the amount of blank space between buttons.
   
5. Touch Button Font Size - Will adjust the font size of all the text on the touch screen buttons.
   
6. Sales Grid Font Size - Will adjust the font size of the grid text and the items that are scanned into it. Best seen while editing from the POS screen.
   
7. Totals Footer Font Size - Will adjust the font size of the text at the bottom of the Sales Grid
   
8. Sales Banner Font Size - Will adjust the font size of the text at the top of the POS Screen
   
9. Touch Panel Alignment - Change where the touch screen buttons will be positioned. Bottom, left, right & top.
   
10. Hide GST Column - Hides the GST Column and GST total on the screen. This is useful to maximise space on small monitors with low screen resolutions.
11. Show Company Name - Shows the company name in the top sales banner to the left of the customer name.
    
12. Use Compact Sale Banner - Compresses the sales banner down to half the size.  This is useful to maximise space on small monitors with low screen resolutions.
13. Add Button – Will add an additional touch screen button if there is available space.
    
14. Add All Buttons - Will fill all the empty touch screen buttons.
    

Adding new buttons will appear as grey empty barcode-type buttons. To get blank white spaces, change it to a Blank button type. Be aware that if you’re trying to add buttons and they don’t seem to be appearing, it’s most likely that you have white Blank button types already filling up the empty spaces.

To move an existing button, click on it once, then click again and hold until it is outlined in red, then drag it. Holding the CTRL key before releasing will swap the positions of both buttons.

Button Types

1. Barcode - A single stock item's barcode or PLU.
