An Epson printer with Server Direct Print (TM-T88VI, or TM-T88V with a UB-E04 interface) or a Star printer with CloudPRNT (such as the mC-Print3) fetches receipts from Naayya over the internet. Nothing needs installing at your business.
- Open the sales point it serves in Admin > Settings > Point of sale and select Add device: choose Receipt printer, then Epson (Cloud printing) or Star (Cloud printing).
- Open the printer's actions menu and choose Rotate token, then select Rotate token in the dialog.
- Copy the Printer address. It is shown once and disappears when you close the dialog. Keep it private: anyone with it can collect that printer's receipts.
- Open the printer's own web settings page. On an Epson printer, turn on Server Direct Print and paste the address as its URL. On a Star printer, turn on CloudPRNT and paste it as the server URL.
- Wait for the printer to show Online on Point of sale, then choose Print test page in its actions menu.
A job waits for the printer to check in. A job the printer has not collected within 10 minutes is dropped, so a printer that comes back online later does not print old receipts. If you think the address was shared, choose Rotate token again and paste the new address: the old one stops working immediately.
To open a cash drawer from a cloud printer, add the drawer as a Cash drawer with that printer as its Connected printer.
Use a connected cash drawer#
The paper receipt shows the same amounts, VAT and invoice number as the emailed receipt. When the sale was paid in cash and the printer has a connected cash drawer, the drawer opens once for that sale. The drawer opens with the printed receipt, so a cash sale with No receipt or Email does not open it. A card or other payment, printing an older sale again, or printing the same sale on a second printer never opens a drawer. Every drawer opening is recorded.
