The Advanced branch of the workstation options allows you to configure advanced operation options for your workstation.

#### Operating System

Select between Windows or Mobile POS App. Use Windows for any windows-based POS workstation or tablet. Use Mobile POS app for Android or iOS-based tablets.

#### Workstation Type

Use the Generic options for most situations. The other options should be used only if you have older Panasonic or Sharp POS workstations. This drop-down list becomes unavailable if the operating system is set to Mobile POS App.

#### Communication

This drop-down list is always set to Network. This drop-down list becomes unavailable if the operating system is set to Mobile POS App.

#### Electronic Journal

Enable this option to create a text file containing a chronological log of all transactions done on a fixed workstation. This feature is not available on mobile workstations.

{% hint style="info" %}
NOTE: By default, each workstation saves the resulting JournalXX.Log file in the C:\WS folder of its own hard drive , where XX is the workstation number.  You can specify a path to save the electronic journals of all workstations in a central location by going to System Configuration > View > Options > Directories, and entering a path in the POS Electronic Journal Path field.
{% endhint %}

#### Use folder Share for Printing

Enable this option to use a shared folder on the Maitre'D Back-Office server as a print spooler for this workstation. If this option is disabled, the workstation will have its own local folder as its print spooler.

#### Create Data

![Button - Create Data](https://documentation.payfacto.com/POS/MaitreD/Fulldoc/assets/images/MaitreDCommon/Buttons/MDButton-CreateData.jpg)

Click this button to manually trigger the creation of the workstation's data. 

#### Style

Select the Legacy POS style to use for this POS workstation. This option becomes unavailable if the Advanced POS UI (HTML POS) is in use.

#### Multi-Instance

Enable this option to allow the workstation application to run in a window which can be resized.

#### Show Mouse Cursor

Enable this option to display the mouse pointer while the workstation application is running. This allows a mouse to be used instead of a touch-screen. If this option is disabled, the mouse pointer is hidden.

#### Floor Plan Status

Enable this option to use the floor plan as a screen saver on the workstation.

#### MSR Compatibility mode

Enable this option to synchronize with the Magnetic Card Reader of a Posiflex J2 workstation running CE.NET. Disable this option on Windows workstations.

#### Dark Mode

Enable this option to use the Advanced POS UI (HTML POS) in Dark Mode. This option is not available with the Legacy POS UI.
