How to Set Up Receipt Printers

Recommended for: Owners, admins, and managers Time to complete: 10 to 20 minutes

Kitchen printers help the back-of-house team receive order information quickly and consistently.

Before You Start

Prepare:

  • the branch where the printer will be used

  • the printer connection type, such as network, Bluetooth, built-in, or USB

  • the device that will send print jobs

  • paper loaded and printer powered on

Setup Steps

  1. Place the printer where the team will actually use it.

  2. Connect the printer using the supported connection method for that branch setup.

  3. Open the printer settings in your dashboard or EPOS setup flow.

  4. Add the printer and choose Receipt as the printer type.

  5. Save the configuration.

  6. Print a test receipt.

What to Check on the Test Print

  • text is readable

  • the printer is the correct one

  • the receipt prints only once unless extra copies are intended

  • the print arrives quickly after the test is sent

Good Practice

  • Use clear names such as Front Counter Receipt Printer.

  • Keep one printer per purpose where possible.

  • Re-test after moving networks, replacing hardware, or changing devices.

If Printing Does Not Work

Check:

  • power and paper

  • the selected printer type

  • network or Bluetooth connection

  • whether the printer was added to the correct branch
