Configuring Your Printer in the POS App

1. Provide a Printer Name that is something meaningful to you, such as the area of the store where it is located.

2. Choose your printer's role.  Two types of printers are available to use with the POS app:

• Receipt Printer — is a receipt printer used to print customer receipts and to provide a means for signature capture if you do not have digital on-screen capture set up.

• Kitchen Printer — is used to print a kitchen "chit".  A chit contains instructions to the kitchen or other prep area on how to prepare an item.  Kitchen chits do not look just like regular receipts — they display the item name and how to prepare it (via modifiers), but they do not include any price information.

• If you only have one printer, it can be used as both a receipt printer and a kitchen printer.

4. Tap Done when you are finished.

5. Tap the blue arrow button next to the receipt printer's name.

6. Tap Print test receipt to see a test receipt.

7. Set the printer to Default if you want this receipt printer to be your default POS receipt printer.
