Print or save as PDF

Use your browser’s Print (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P) to print a page or Save as PDF. The manual uses print-friendly styles so the main content prints without the navbar and sidebar.

Hotel / Cash Register

  • Use the hotel switcher (if multi-property) to change the active property.
  • For Cashiering, you must log in to a cash register first. Use Cash Register Login (e.g. from Cashiering → Transaction) and then continue to the requested cashier screen.
