# External Order Settings

## Poll External Orders

To show external orders in the POS, the **Poll External Orders** setting must be enabled.

1. In the POS, go to **Settings**.
2. Under **Order**, set **Poll external orders** to **Yes.**

{% hint style="warning" %}
 If polling is disabled, the system will not look for external orders.
{% endhint %}

## Print New External Orders

The system offers three print options for external orders:

1. In the POS, go to **Settings**.
2. Under **Order**, set **Print new external order** to:
   * No — Nothing prints when orders are accepted, regardless of acceptance method.
   * Manually Accepted — Only orders that have been manually accepted will print.
   * All accepted — All external orders print automatically, regardless of acceptance method.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Print External Orders** setting is only available when **Poll External Orders** is enabled. If **Poll External Orders** is disabled, **Print External Orders** is **greyed out**.
{% endhint %}
