Printer USB configuration

  • Updated

The Konnect system is supporting currently 4 types of usb printers:

1. ESC POS USB: Epson TM-88, Epson TM-20, Star Micronics (Receipt Printer)
2. BOCA B46 USB (Thermal tickets Boca Printer)

2. Attach the printer to the point of sale by going to Back Office > Configuration > Hardwares > Eye icon next to the selected printer > Point of sales

The type of printer to select depends on what it will print:

Boca_b46_usb -> Qr codes

Boca_rfid_usb ->  RFID wristbands

Esc_pos_usb -> Receipt 

 

3. [Optional] attach wallet type to point of sale hardware

This enables the system to know which printer should print specific wallet types. For example, I can have the “RFID paper” wallet type printed on a boca_rfid_usb printer and the “QR codes” wallet type printed on an esc_pos_usb printer.

Go to Configuration > Point of sales > View > Hardwares > View > Wallet types > Attach Wallet type

POS configuration

At first launch, the pos will open a window to identify the printers. This configuration can be changed later on in the settings screen. This association is saved so that you just have to do it once.

- This icon Screen_Shot_2023-01-09_at_5.01.47_PM.png will open a window to select the usb device.

- The garbage icon will remove the association so that another USB device can be selected

- The UID chip icon is specific to rfid printers (boca_rfid_usb for now) this try to read the next uid and display it.

- The "Aa" icon Is specific to Boca printers. Use it to install a font on the Boca (ttf file). Once the font is installed, a ticket will be printed with accents and special characters. It has been tested with the Roboto Regular font. (please ONLY use Roboto font).

 

Receipts

If a printer of type “esc_pos_usb” is attached to the POS, this printer will be used to print:

  • transaction receipt

  • batch receipt

  • fulfillment details receipt

 

QR codes and RFID wallets

Printers are selected based on the backend configuration. See Backend configuration > 3.[Optional] attach wallet type to point-of-sale hardware.

Wallets can be printed in:

  • Fulfillment page

  • Grouped fulfillment page

  • Wallet detail page

  • Uid detail page

For a mifare wallet on a POS with a Boca RFID printer, the operator can choose between scanning or printing the wallet.

 

Congratulations you have now configured your local USB printer!
