Terminal Features
Paper Roll
Some of the features of your Point of Sale (POS) terminal depend on the availability of paper for printing receipts. When the terminal runs out of paper, it will not process any more transactions until the paper roll is replaced. We recommend monitoring the paper supply regularly and maintaining a sufficient inventory of paper rolls for receipts to avoid disruptions to your business operations. To order new paper rolls, please call us at 787-751-1401.
Follow these steps to replace the paper roll in your POS system:
- Hold both sides of the paper roll cover located on the top of the device. Pull the cover outward to open it.
- Hold the roll so that the paper feeds into the device from the top of the roll. Align the edges of the paper with the paper guide tabs and lift the edge of the paper back as you close the cover.
- With the printer paper extending outward, close the printer cover by flipping it back to front until the cover clicks shut, allowing the paper to slide out of the printer cover.
Internet Connection
This POS terminal relies on Internet connectivity, either through a mobile carrier or a Wi-Fi network, to process transactions and sync data in real time. If there is no active Internet connection, the functionality of the terminal will be significantly limited.
To connect your terminal to a Wi-Fi network:
Check regularly to ensure that your terminal remains connected to avoid disruptions to your business operations. If your device is connected to a mobile network, you do not need to take any action or connect it to a Wi-Fi network, but it is still advisable.
