Staff terminals connect to the central database using the Evergreen staff client, available for download from The Evergreen download page. The staff client must be installed on each staff workstation and requires at minimum:
Windows
(XP, Vista, or 7), Mac OS X
,
or Linux
operating system
a reliable high speed Internet connection
512Mb of RAM
The staff client uses the TCP
protocal on ports 80
and 443
to
communicate with the Evergreen server.
Evergreen will work with virtually any barcode scanner – if it worked with your legacy system it should work on Evergreen.
Evergreen can use any printer configured for your terminal to print receipts, check-out slips, holds lists, etc. The single exception is spine label printing, which is still under development. Evergreen currently formats spine labels for output to a label roll printer. If you do not have a roll printer manual formatting may be required. For more on configuring receipt printers, see Printer Settings.
