Your cash register connects directly to your receipt printer in order to print your receipts, your production levels for the kitchen and your daily reports.
Info : the French law requires any merchant to deliver to the client a receipt when the amount of the purchase exceeds € 25 or if the client asks you.
If the amount is less than €25, you can still issue a receipt attesting the purchase, if you don’t, then you’re obliged to display the total amount to the customer with the help of a customer display.
To learn more about customer displays, please go to the section Customer displays.Info : a few limitations are related to the use of the Bluetooth technology :
– A Bluetooth printer can’t be used by multiple cash register (1 cash register = 1 Bluetooth printer). On the other hand, a cash register can be connected to several Bluetooth printers.
– The Bluetooth range is limited to around 10 meters, then we don’t recommend it as kitchen printers.

Three options are at your disposal and allow you to indicate when your receipt or preparation ticket must be printed.
You can find these options in Settings > Automatic printing.

You should know that if you don’t select anything, the application will offer you the possibility to manually print your ticket by clicking on the Note button on the cashing screen.
- Before cashing / collection
This option allows you to automatically print the ticket before cashing. It’s useful if you give the bill to your client before cashing it, which is the case in restaurants for example.

This option allows you to automatically print the ticket after cashing. This option can be selected alone, or combined with the first option and in this case, the application will print a ticket before and a second after cashing.
- Preparation / Delivery order
This option allows you to automatically print the preparation order at the moment when your note is put on hold or when you go to the cashing screen.
