Tablet Ordering - External Printer Compatibility & Setup (Internet)
Get a printer connected to your tablet so the staff in store can be notified and manage the online orders they receive
Before you begin
- Ensure your printer is connected to the same WiFi or local network as your tablet
- Turn the printer on
- LAN connection is recommended for best performance
Note: Facilipay primarily supports Star Micronics printers (e.g. mC-Print3). Other printers may work, but compatibility is not guaranteed.
