Printer Configuration

Use Configure printers at the Settings screen on a device to define the receipt and kitchen printers to use with the device. Prior to setting up kitchen printers, you must configure Kitchen Routing in the Back Office. See Setting up Kitchen Routing.

In some cases, for the network to recognize the printer, you must open port 9100.

To configure a device for receipt printing:
  1. At the POS home screen, open the slide out menu.
  2. Tap Settings.
  3. At the Settings screen, tap Receipt printers.
  4. Tap Add Receipt Printer. The Add Printer screen appears.
  5. Tap a listed printer or Refresh, and then tap the desired printer. If your printer does not appear, you may need to specify the printer manually. See the section ‘Manually Specifying a Printer.

When you activate the attached cash drawer, the system opens the cash drawer and a menu prompt appears to confirm the successful opening of the cash drawer.
