P-000022-01 Correct order timing when tickets print out of sequence

← Back

Used for Trouble: T-000022

1) Verify system date and time

  • Check date and time on POS workstation
  • Verify correct timezone is set
  • Sync system time if incorrect

2) Verify server and CSC time (if applicable)

  • Confirm CSC or application server time matches POS
  • Ensure all systems use the same timezone
  • Correct any drift or mismatch

3) Check time synchronization method

  • Verify time sync source (domain controller, NTP server)
  • Force time resync if available
  • Avoid manual time adjustments during business hours

4) Inspect print queue backlog

  • Open printer queue
  • Look for delayed or stuck jobs
  • Clear backlog to restore correct order flow

5) Restart application services

  • Restart POS / CSC application services
  • Allow services to fully initialize before testing

6) Test controlled order sequence

  • Enter multiple test orders in known order
  • Confirm tickets print in the same sequence
  • Verify timestamps match entry time

7) Monitor during load

  • Observe behavior during moderate traffic
  • Confirm sequencing remains correct

8) Escalation check

  • If ordering remains incorrect:
  • Review application logs for buffering behavior
  • Check network latency between systems
  • Escalate to application or systems support
