About this Guide
This guide contains instructions for a new user to setup, configure, and use
the Epson True Order KDS in a few steps. It is targeted towards the Single
Station KDS connected to the POS via Ethernet, and assumes that the POS is
already supported by the Epson True Order KDS. The Epson True Order KDS is
very versatile – able to be customized in many ways to meet the specific needs
of the individual display stations and the entire kitchen. This guide
describes one such use case – setting up a single station system as the
Kitchen Display.
