Connecting a printer

Receipt printer at the till, kitchen printer in the kitchen — both connect the same way.

A printer connects to the till computer (by USB or over the network) and is then chosen in the till program. The panel does not see printers directly.

  1. 1Install the printer in Windows as usual and print a test page. If that does not work, nothing after it will.
  2. 2In the till program open SettingsPrinters.
  3. 3Pick the printer from the list — the names come from Windows itself.
  4. 4Give each one a job: Receipt, Kitchen or Bar.
  5. 5Press Test print.
You do not need to share the printer on the network (net share). The program asks Windows for the printer name; a shared path is only the fallback.
Do not give one printer two jobs. A restaurant printing the kitchen ticket on the same roll as the guest's receipt ends up reprinting both.
