Print from the POS app, with no computer or box
Turn on This device prints, and a phone or tablet prints the shop’s tickets to your network printers.
- Who
- Owner and managers
- Where
- POS app → Settings → This device prints
A phone or tablet with the POS app can do the printing itself, so a small shop needs no printing computer or box. It prints to network printers on the same wifi, by the address on the console’s Printers page.
- Add your printers in the console first.
- Sign in to the POS app as the owner or a manager, and choose the store.
- Open Settings, then This device prints.
- Choose what it prints, and press Turn on printing.
What it prints
- Only this till’s papers: the tickets for orders started on this device. Online orders, tickets from other devices and shift summaries wait for another printing device.
- Everything for this store: every ticket for the store, like a printing computer.
Tip. If this is the shop’s only printing device, choose Everything for this store. Otherwise online orders and shift summaries have nothing to print them.
What to know
- It prints to network printers only, not USB or Bluetooth.
- It prints while someone from the shop is signed in to the app.
- On Android it keeps printing with the screen off or another app open, and shows “Printing for” the store in its notifications.
- An iPhone or iPad prints only while the app is on screen. Allow Local Network when it asks: that is how it reaches the printers. For a device kept only for printing, Guided Access holds it on the app.
- A ticket it cannot print goes back in the queue, for a printing computer or box if the shop has one.
- It counts as one of your plan’s printing computers or boxes. The console’s Printers page lists it, and can switch it off.
To stop, press Stop printing on this device. Tickets then wait for another printing device.
