Overview

This article walks you through the steps to the physical setup of your KDS hardware. This is for single screen setup only. 

Prerequisites

2. You completed Step 1 and decided on single screen setup.

3. You completed Step 2, reviewed the Hardware Checklist, and received your hardware.

Single Screen Hardware Setup For KDS

Steps

1. Plug the printer into a power outlet. 

2. Use the ethernet cable to connect the printer to the router or switch (switch will need to be ethernet connected to the router). 

3. Plug the monitor into a power outlet.

4. Use the VGA cable to connect the printer to the monitor.

5. Use the USB cable to connect the printer to the Bump Bar.

6. Make sure POS and PC are on the same network as the router (if using a PC).

7. On the front side of the printer, find the power switch and turn the printer on. 

8. The printer will spit out a status sheet. Keep it or record the Printer’s IP address on the status sheet, you will need it to connect your KDS in Arryved Portal. 

Gut Check!

Your hardware is set up! Double check your cables are connected and your wireless network is working.

Now that you have set up your hardware, let's talk about configuration.

• Head back to the KDS Setup Guide to track your progress and move to the next step. 

• Or continue to Step 3, KDS Configuration, directly.
