© 2026 Crunchtime - All Rights Reserved | www.crunchtime.com | 20 RELEASE ControlPoint Client 2024.6 Android Device Agent Now Supports ControlPoint Redundancy If a secondary server takes over during a shift, it was not connected to Android Kitchen Stations. This could cause stations to go offline until the primary server comes back online. This enhancement resolves that issue and will enable Android devices to continue working as expected, even if the primary server is down. Note: This will work with both TCP and UDP connections to the ControlPoint Server. Epson U220-II Printer Now Supported on Android Devices Previously, an Epson U220-II USB receipt printer might not work if connected to an Android device. This enhancement allows those printers to be connected to Android devices in Kitchen and work as expected.
