OK to print to a thermal printer you will need to have your thermal receipt printer fully functional. That means your workstation/s required to print to the POS printer must be able to print to the thermal printer from what ever OS you are using, Linux, Mac & windows.
- Your Thermal Receipt printer can also be networked and whatever configuration you have chosen a test print job from the workstation / terminal should be able to product a test without garbage being printed. This will confirm the thermal printer understands the print data sent to it.
- Once the above is working and OK you will be ready to tweak and create your label / receipt theme in Manager.
- In Manager go to Settings themes select for example the Plain Theme and copy to “New Theme”. create the receipt printer theme and enter the new theme name for example “POS Test”.
- Use the theme code provided here in the PDF as a starting point to format your thermal print output by pasting the code into your POS Test Theme.
