Your POS can be setup to print to 4 different printers - a receipt printer, two different kitchen printers (for example hot and cold station) and a bar printer. To setup one of these printers, follow the steps below.

  3. Right click on the printer you are installing.
  4. Select Properties
  5. Click Print Test Page

 

Step 3: Share the Printer on the Network

Printer sharing allows multiple computers or devices that are connected to the same network access a single printer. For example, most clubs have a shared kitchen printer that can be accessed from multiple computers.

  7. Click Ok
  8. Restart the POS to allow it to pick up the change to the printer.

  4. Select the printer you installed from the printer drop-down. 
  5. Select the printer's brand from the drop-down. 

 

Step 5: Set the Receipt Width

The last step in setting up your receipt printer is to set your printer's receipt width in the Point of Sale to ensure the receipts print properly. 

  1. Click Set Receipt Width
  2. Select the printer from the drop-down. 
  3. Click Configure Printer
  4. The printer will print a receipt with a string of numbers. Select the last number on the first line from the drop-down.
