Pairing a Printer

To pair a new printer or detect an existing one, use the 'DETECT' button. This function scans for available printers within the network and allows you to select the appropriate device for pairing.




Testing Printer Connections

After pairing a printer, it is paramount to test the connection to confirm that it functions correctly. Utilize the 'TEST' button to perform a print test, ensuring that the printer is configured accurately and ready for operational use.




Note: The test print function specifically applies to receipts. Once you've selected the default Bill/Receipt printer model, you can initiate a test print to preview the bill and receipt templates. This confirms the successful connection of your printer. For testing kitchen tickets, simply create a test order and send it to your kitchen.

Conclusion:

Effective management of paired printers ensures that businesses can handle printing needs efficiently, from order tickets in kitchens to billing at the checkout counters. By following the steps outlined above, administrators can navigate through the hardware settings, pair printers, and perform necessary configurations seamlessly. Maintaining well-configured and operational printers within your hardware setup fosters a reliable and productive business environment.
