Hello there,

I am following this turorial for the kitchen display the good @QMcKay was kind to write

> [@Kitchen/Bar Display using Task Printer - separate displays for Food and Drink](http://forum.sambapos.com/t/kitchen-bar-display-using-task-printer-separate-displays-for-food-and-drink/8075/4):

> #Printers, Printer Templates, Print Jobs We need to define 2 Printers, 2 Printer Templates, and 2 Print Jobs to separate Food and Drink. ##Printers Create a Printer for each of the Task Types. warning You must put a DOT ( . ) in the Printer Share Name / Port Name field. If you do not do this, the Printer will not function!

But i got no idea it appear on top of the screen: Table Customer Color and then the boxes under. Any ideas how to make them go away??

Also trying to find out if there is a way to do the following. Instead of having multiple card per item, combine the items from that table into one card when submitted, but if customer orders more food before the first order is ready to have it on a different card??.

Also wanted to ask, what is the functionality of the Toggle Order?  
Right now when we mark an order as completed it turns gray but stays on the screen forever. is there a way to remove it from this screen once completed??

Thanks for all your help and time

Regards,

That already answered here.

> The Tutorial uses Print methods (Rules) designed to separate Food orders onto separate cards. It combines Drink orders onto single cards. I designed it this way because that is how I want it for my venue. It also gives opportunity to show 2 different methods, which you can extrapolate for your own needs. So if you want Food to be combined on 1 card (the same as Drink), use the same Rules for Food as you do for Drink. If the colors do not work in Light Theme, then change them in the Printer …

`Toggle Order` does the same thing with `Mark as Completed` button but it can mark completed cards as uncompleted. You can prefer to display one of them according to your needs.

That allows you to un-complete cards if it completed mistakenly. It will disappear when you start a new work period. For next updates I’ll implement something to make completed cards disappear after a certain time period.
