Workstations are registered ZynoWorkstation installations on Windows PCs. They are used for hardware-connected stations such as registers, front desks, shipping counters, and service desks.

Open this page from Admin > General > Workstations.

Workstation List

Admin Workstations screen showing display name, assigned location, and connected device count — The Workstations screen shows registered desktop installations, their assigned locations, and detected hardware counts.

The Workstations page shows:

Device Preferences

The preferences tab lets you choose which detected device should be used for common hardware roles:

Preference	Use
Barcode Scanner	Default scanner for product or fulfillment scanning
Cash Drawer	Drawer opened by Salespoint cash workflows
Receipt Printer	Printer used for receipts
Label Printer	Printer used for labels
8x11" Printer	Standard document printer

Device options are based on detected hardware at the selected location. This allows a workstation to use its own devices or devices associated with another workstation at the same location when appropriate. If the workstation does not have a location selected, the preference lists will not show location devices.

Hardware

The hardware tab lists devices detected for the workstation. Device types can include printers, receipt printers, label printers, cash drawers, barcode scanners, and scanners.

If the page says No hardware detected on this workstation., check the physical connection, device power, desktop app status, and any required driver setup.
