Description:

The feature allows you to use one device as a print server, providing a stable connection to the printer from multiple devices

When more 3 registers try to use a printer (e.g. kitchen printer) that happens printing delays, because in one time with the printer can work only one register, the register holds connection until the printer prints receipt, other registers wait.

Idea is to use one register as print server that holds connection with a printer constantly and other registers print receipts through the printer server, this solution allows to create buffer of printing jobs, to decrease time for reconnect and one register = one printer works better than several registers = one printer
