Customer Database Profiles

The Customer Database Profile parameters allow you to specify the customer information to be captured at the POS and how the POS processes that information (for example, printing it on the receipt, collecting it in a database, or displaying it on the POS terminal).

Note Note

If Print is checked, for it to have an effect, you must also check Print in the Customer Database Option Maintenance screen. For more information, see Customer Database Option.
