Set up receipts and a receipt printer
Connect a thermal receipt printer by USB, serial or Bluetooth, print a test bill, set 80 mm or 58 mm paper, choose what the receipt shows, and open the cash drawer automatically on cash sales.
Updated
Nafaa prints receipts in two ways. Browser print works with any printer installed in Windows: the bill opens in a small print window. Direct (tez) (direct, fast) talks to a thermal printer from the browser, prints in about a second with no pop-up, and can open the cash drawer. Direct printing needs Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
All printer and receipt settings are under Settings → Counter & POS.
Connect the printer and set the receipt
Step 1: Open POS hardware
Go to Settings → Counter & POS → POS hardware. The cards at the top show the state of the printer, cash drawer, barcode scanner, scale and customer screen.
Step 2: Pick the print method
In Receipt printer choose Browser print or Direct (tez). With Browser print, the printer must be in Windows "Printers & scanners".
Step 3: Connect a direct printer
For Direct, choose how it is connected (USB, Serial / COM or Bluetooth) and click Printer jorein (connect printer). Pick your printer in the browser’s list, then click Test page.
Step 4: Print a test bill
Choose 80mm or 58mm paper and click Test bill (or press T).
Step 5: Open the drawer on cash sales
With Direct printing, turn on Cash sale par khud khule in the Cash drawer card so the drawer opens when a cash bill prints. Abhi kholein opens it now.
Step 6: Design the receipt
Go to Settings → Counter & POS → Receipt. Choose the paper, style and font size, what prints at the top (logo, address, phone), what the bill shows (customer, cashier, savings, khata balance, bill barcode) and your own footer message and return policy.
Step 7: Set auto-print per counter
On the POS counter open POS settings and switch Bill khud print ho (print automatically) on or off, and pick the paper width for that computer.
