Select Device - 01060100012

Not Supported: OPOS

This function is a generic function which allows you to select a device from the available active devices of a specific type connected to the POS. The function is required when running the POS application on mobile devices.

The use cases for this function are:

  • selection of a payment terminal (EFT)
  • selection of a receipt printer (receipt or fiscal printer)
  • selection of a graphical printer (A4)

The normal use case is that the selected device is remembered and used for the next user actions. But remembering can be also disabled via configuration.

The information about the most recently selected device is only held within the session. After a new login, the user has to select the device again.

The function does not distinguish between fiscal printers and normal receipt printers. If fiscal printers are used in a specific country, all reports created on the POS are printed on the fiscal printer. In such cases only, fiscal printers have to be configured on Flow Service to not allow a normal printer to be selected instead of the fiscal printer.
