The Auto option automatically adjusts the number of columns from 1 to 6 according to the display resolution. The single-column view is suitable for mobile devices with a portrait display.
Print settings

If the printing of receipts and orders is active in Dotypos, the receipt and the kitchen ticket will also be printed simultaneously on the printers specified in the Dotypos settings. More about printing from the Mobile Waiter can be found in the preceding chapter Working with orders. If the device has a built-in printer, it will be selected automatically in this setting.
