How to Use POScommands

To use a supplied POScommand, copy into one of the following folders while Idealpos is running. The message IPScommand Succeeded should display. Most POScommands are set to process silently on all other terminals.

v6:
\Program Files\Idealpos Solutions\Idealpos 6.0
OR
\Program Files (x86)\Idealpos Solutions\Idealpos 6.0

v7, v8 and v9
\ProgramData\Idealpos Solutions\Idealpos
OR
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Idealpos Solutions\Idealpos


Note that in 7.1 Build 3 and earlier, when a POScommand was set to run on all terminals, it would complete processing first on the first terminal it was run on before sending packets to run on other terminals (and would then run simultaneously on other terminals. Starting in 7.1 Build 4, the POScommand packets are sent first before processing, so that all terminals (including the initial one) process the packet simultaneously. This is more efficient when a time-consuming POScommand needs to process on all terminals within a limited time frame.
