−For a bridge on Windows: Download and execute the '''whb-x.y.0.exe''' and run it. This will install and run the server. Also, from the board of running application, you will find an icon that allow you tu run the Configuration. Run the configuration and select the POS serial printer. If you don't have a POS serial printer, you can select "Fallback to default printer", then install a virtual POS driver (like the EMF Virtual Printer available at https://www.colorpilot.com/emfprinter_versions.html) and finally set this virtual Driver as the default printer.
+For a bridge on Linux: You can download the zip file with the java server and run the java server by launching it from the command line. However, it seems not possible to run the Configurator to select the printer. So on Linux, the server may not work properly.
