This guide provides general planning information. Product, technical, legal and tax requirements should be verified for your own business.
- Record exact model numbers
- Test real receipts and labels

List the exact environment
A device category is not enough. Capture model, operating system, connection type, driver and paper or label dimensions.
- Computer, tablet or phone
- Thermal receipt and label printers
- Barcode scanner and weighing equipment
- Router, network and power backup
Test operational scenarios
Print long bills, reprints, cancelled bills and labels. Test reconnecting USB, Bluetooth and network devices after a restart.
Document the working configuration
Keep driver versions, ports, paper sizes and test results with the rollout documentation so replacement devices can be configured consistently.
