In this part you configure the printer settings. Configure your printer (printers) and try test printing prior to first using the touch cash register.

Printer settings in Dotypos consist of two steps and you can do it using a simple wizard. Once you add a printer, Dotypos tries to automatically select the most suitable settings for this printer. Then you add printing tasks to the printer and select what is to be printed on it.

1.Add the printer according to the connection type and adjust its settings as necessary.

2.Add printing tasks to the printer and adjust their settings.

3.Finished, the printer is now set up!

Tip

You can add several printing tasks to one printer. E.g. if one cash register with a connected printer is used by several independent sellers. So the printer will have several printing tasks defined, e.g. printing receipts and orders for individual sellers.
