A server is a background service of a workstation. It starts when IncoPOS opens the database on that workstation and runs while the program is open, for example to print the receipts of other workstations or to update electronic shelf labels. The Servers window lists the servers of the workstation you work on: each workstation has its own list. Open it with Edit → Administration → Servers…. To add or change a server, see Adding, editing and deleting servers. To print the receipts of several workstations on one printer, see Print Server.
