My printer isn’t working. What should I do?

I'm here to assist you in resolving any issues you may be experiencing with your printer. Let's troubleshoot together:

 

Step 1: Check for Printer Jams.

Ensure there are no paper jams in the printer. Any obstructions can hinder its functionality.

Step 2: Check Printer Paper Supply.

Next, let's check if the printer paper has run out. If so, replace the paper to ensure smooth printing.

Step 3: Confirm Printer Connection:

Now, let's ensure that the printer is properly connected to your POS system.

  • If it's a cable connection, ensure that the cable is securely plugged in.
  • If the printer connects via Bluetooth, verify that it is paired and connected to the POS system.

Step 4: Confirm Printer Status.

Ensure that the printer is designated as your preferred printer. If it's not set as your preferred printer, your receipts won't be printed using that printer.

Once you've completed these steps, please let me know if the issue persists or if you need further assistance. We're here to ensure your printing woes are swiftly resolved!
