Release Notes – Z Office and Register 1.5.874 (September 2026)

The September 2026 update for Z Office and Z Register is progressively being released to all stores and you may not have received the new update and features yet.

What’s New in this Update?

EFTPOS Connection Update

This change applies only to stores using PC-EFTPOS/Linkly and Z Pay. Stores on Tyro or Scrypt Pay are not affected.

We've upgraded the way EFTPOS communicates with PC-EFTPOS/Linkly and Z Pay, moving to a more modern and reliable connection method. This change was required to keep the integration supported and working reliably going forward.

EFTPOS Settlement Changes (PC-EFTPOS/Linkly Only)

As part of this change, EFTPOS settlement behavior with PC-EFTPOS/Linkly has been updated. Previously, selecting 'Yes' on the EFTPOS Settlement prompt would open the Linkly Settlement window to process the settlement. Going forward, the settlement process will appear directly on our screen instead.

If your bank has the Transaction List prompt, it will also appear in this window where you can click Yes or No to print:

Once the EFTPOS settlement has been completed, a prompt should appear at the bottom of the window if you would like to print the settlement receipt:

The settlement receipt will print to the receipt printer moving forward as well.

If you still need to access the settlement information or reprint this the settlement receipt, you can still access everything through the Linkly Control Panel on your workstation: . 

For further help with Linkly Control Panel, please contact your Bank or Linkly.

EFTPOS Printing Options

Depending on your EFTPOS terminal and Z Register configuration, the Customer Copy of your EFTPOS receipt may also start printing from Z Register.

If you wish to change this setting, you can go Z Register > Settings > General > Integrated EFTPOS.

Under the Customer Copy option, these control the printing options from Z Register:

  • Always Print: This will always print the customer copy of the receipt
  • Never Print: This won’t print the customer copy of the receipt from
  • Ask Every Time: This will prompt to confirm if you wish to print a copy of the receipt

If you have changed the EFTPOS print settings but the customer copy continues to print as before, you may need to contact the bank or your EFTPOS provider as their settings will always override Z settings.

Other Changes in this Update

  • Updated our installer file. Our program may have looked different when updating but there should be no changes that you will need to do:
  • Added Stock Filters to Print Queue
  • Added a Dispense Data only option for Store Supplier update settings

What’s Fixed in this Update?

No changes in this update.
