Configuration
Step 1: Unpack and Prepare
First unpack the receipt printer and all materials. Turn the receipt printer 180° so that you can remove the flap on the back.
Step 2: Connect cables and hardware
Connect the receipt printer to a power outlet using the power cable. Connect the receipt printer to your network using the LAN cable. Note: A LAN cable must be provided by you. (Cat 5E+, RJ-45)
If you have also purchased a scanner and/or display, you can connect these directly to the receipt printer:
The cash drawer can also be connected directly to the receipt printer. Note the serial number of the receipt printer:
Step 3: Close the cover
After you have connected all the cables, you can close the cover again.
Step 4: Insert print paper roll
Open the receipt printer by the small flap at the top right. Insert the thermal roll into the receipt printer as shown in the illustration. Insert the roll so that a small strip protrudes from the receipt printer. Then close the flap again.
Step 5: Switch on the printer
Make sure the printer is connected to the mains. Turn on the printer by clicking on the on/off switch. After about 1 minute a receipt should print, keep it until the receipt printer has been set up.
Step 6: Link device/s to cash register
Now switch to your PepperShop administration. Click on Web Cash Register -> Web Cash Register Configuration, you will find the “Cash Register Administration”.
You can give your receipt printer a name and select the “EPSON Omnilink Receipt Printer” in the “Output via” dropdown.
Enter the serial number of the receipt printer in the field “Printer identification”, where you can find it is described in step 2. You can also tick the box here if you are also using a scanner and/or a display. Then save the settings at the bottom with the Save button.
Optionally, you can now specify the location of your printer. To do this, follow the steps below:
Click on “Web cash register” in the menu on the left > “Locations” > “New location”. Enter your location number, name and description. Click on “Save” at the bottom.
