Connecting a receipt printer
SOUS prints receipts from an Epson receipt printer connected by USB to an Android tablet, Chromebook or Windows laptop. iPads, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi printing are not supported. See Supported printers and devices for the tested setup.
Connect the printer
- Connect the printer to your device with its USB cable and switch it on.
- In the portal, open the On-Demand orders tab and click Connect printer.
- Select your printer in the device window and click Connect.
- Print a test receipt.
The printer is connected when the auto-print toggle and other printer settings appear in the On-Demand orders tab.
On Windows: if you see an error while connecting, the Windows printer driver needs to be reset once. See Printer not connecting: reset the Windows driver.
Printer settings
Once connected, the icons in the On-Demand orders tab let you:
- Turn auto-print on or off (the blue toggle). With auto-print on, every new order is printed and a sound is played.
- Disconnect the printer. Be careful: this disconnects immediately.
- Refresh the page.
- Mute or enable the sound.
Make sure you do not disconnect the printer by accident.
