# Create Printer Rules

> Customize your printer workflow

Printing rules allow you to select which receipt template to use, filter certain categories or products to print, and more.

<Tip>
  Examples of printer workflows:

  * Only print customer receipts when requested
  * Set kitchen printer to automatically print all food items
  * Set barista printer to automatically print all drink category items
  * Set printer to only print orders from the Drive Thru register

  <Step>
    Printing rules are ordered by priority. The ones at the top take priority, but multiples rules can be applied.

    <Tip>
      For example, you can set **Filter by Ticket Type** to *For Here* and then **Filter by Category** like *Espresso*. This means only products in the Espresso category on orders using a For Here ticket type will be printed.
