Requirements:
Receipt printer with USB connectivity
POS / KDS machine with Windows 10
Connecting your printer:
Prepare the printer:
Ensure the printer is powered on, firmly connected to the terminal, and has a paper roll installed.
Connect the printer:
Connect the printer using a USB-A end plugged into your Sunmi POS machine and the other end plugged into your printer.
Add the printer in Windows:
On your Windows machine, click on the Start menu, then navigate to Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners.
In the Printers & Scanners settings, click on Add a printer or scanner.
When prompted, click on the The printer that I want isn’t listed link to open the Add Printer wizard.
In the Add Printer wizard, select Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings and click Next.
Choose the correct USB port where the printer is connected and click Next.
For the driver, select Generic text print driver and click Next.
On the ‘Type a printer name’ screen, set an appropriate name for the printer (e.g., Manufacturer-Model) and click Next.
Once the installation is complete, you will be prompted to print a test page. Click on Print a test page to check if the printer is configured correctly. If the test page does not print, go back to the step to choose the correct USB port and repeat using a different USB port.
On a successful test print, click Finish to complete the setup.
Note: Most USB receipt printers can be set up using the steps above. However, some manufacturers and models may require driver installation. Please contact the supplier for information about downloading and installing the driver.
You should now be able to use your printer with your POS / KDS.
