Printers

Register your receipt printers, set their paper width, and assign them to a device so they print.

Printers is where you register your receipt printers. You tell the portal each printer's name, where it is on your network, and its paper width. Find it under Store settings → Printers.

The paper width you set here drives the canvas size in Receipt layouts, so register your printer first.

Add a printer

  1. 1

    Click Add printer

    This opens the printer form.

  2. 2

    Fill in the details

    Name it, enter its network address, and pick its paper width. The fields are explained below.

  3. 3

    Save

    The printer appears in your list, ready to assign to a device.

The fields

  • Name — a label so you can tell printers apart, for example "Front counter".
  • IP address / host — the printer's address on your venue network.
  • Port — the network port, with a sensible default already filled in.
  • Paper width — 58mm, 72mm (the standard) or 80mm. This sets the canvas width in Receipt layouts.
  • Location — optionally tie the printer to a site, so it only shows for devices at that location.

How printers relate to devices and receipts

A printer on its own doesn't print anything yet. Two things connect it up:

  • A device prints to a printer once you set that printer as the device's receipt printer under Devices. Print jobs always travel through that device, so it and the printer must be on the same venue Wi-Fi, and the device has to be switched on.
  • The design that prints comes from Receipt layouts, which you can test against a registered printer.

Removing a printer

Use Delete on a printer's row and confirm.
