Tablet Ordering: External Printer Setup via Bluetooth
Connect a Bluetooth-compatible printer to your tablet so online orders can be printed automatically when received. Facilipay primarily supports Star Micronics printers, though other models may work.
Before You Begin
- Ensure your printer supports Bluetooth connectivity.
- Turn the printer on.
- Pair the printer with your tablet using the device's Bluetooth settings.
Note: Facilipay primarily supports Star Micronics printers (e.g. mC-Print3). Other printers may work, but compatibility is not guaranteed. A LAN connection is recommended for best reliability.
