You have issues printing your receipts? Find the possible scenarios and the solution here!

The receipt is empty

Are you using thermal paper? The thermal printer is using heat to print, which is only possible on thermal paper.

Check if the receipt roll is inserted correctly! Pay attention to the illustration in the receipt roll slot.

Via [Menu] > [Transactions] you can view the receipt and print it again: 

Paper jam

Possibly an unclean tear-off edge got stuck. Open the paper slot, take the receipt roll out and insert it again, so that the paper hangs out approx. 1 cm.

You can print the receipt again via [Main menu] > [Transactions].

Receipt printed too pale

Open the paper slot and carefully clean the top side with a small soft brush or a clean (!) soft toothbrush or a cotton swab.

Sometimes the printer has to warm up a bit. After a few prints, the writing will be clearly visible again.

Printer busy

If you see a small printer icon at the top left of the screen, it means that there is still a print job in progress. Just be patient - as soon as the process is finished, the printer will work again.

Otherwise try to reboot your device to cancel the previous print job.
