Adding production centers

Production centers are one of the three pillars which enable printing with your POS. The other pillars include both the settings for the devices and the printing profiles. Production centers can be understood as the printing destination for printing jobs. You can configure settings for a production center such as printing destination, printing templates, and IP address information for the destination printer from the Back Office.
