Automatic Receipts

By default, the terminal offers a receipt option after every transaction. The customer can choose to receive a receipt (printed), or to skip it. Two copies can be printed: one for the customer and one for your records.

  1. 1Locate the printer cover release. Press the release button or lever to open the printer cover.
    Cover pops open.
  2. 2Remove any empty core or remaining paper.
    Printer slot clear.
  3. 3Take the new 57mm thermal roll. Identify the print side: smooth/slightly glossy = print side.
    Print side identified.
  4. 4Insert roll with the paper feeding from the bottom of the roll, up and forward through the paper exit slot. The glossy side must face toward the front of the terminal (toward the print head).
    Paper feeds through correctly.
  5. 5Pull out ~3cm of paper and close the cover firmly until it clicks. Tear off excess paper.
    Cover secure. Printer ready.
  6. 6Print a test receipt to confirm printing works correctly.

Only use 57mm thermal paper. Using the wrong paper type produces blank receipts and can damage the print head. Never use glossy photo paper, inkjet paper, or coloured paper.
