USB: USB cable connection
Interface Cable: Ethernet cable or Wifi connection.
Label Print Orientation

Print Item With
Choose to display the full name or alias name of the item when printing. The item alias name can be set under Store Portal - [Menu] - [Items]. Since the label has limited space, we highly recommend you print with Alias Names.

You can choose to print [All Items] or [Special Items].
Note that if you select [All items and future items] under each category, any item added to the category will be automatically assigned to this printer. Otherwise, you need to reconfigure the new item printing.
Print Add-Ons

Print by Dining Type
Select the corresponding dining type if you only need this kitchen printer to print for certain dining types.
Once the configuration is completed, click [Save] to apply all settings.
When an item is outside the label printer’s scope but its add-on is within scope, print the add-on separately. For each individual add-on, print one label with the quantity displayed in an "Addon" field in the upper-right corner.

Once the setup is complete, the POS can connect to the printer.
How to Connect POS to Printer
After the printer binding is complete, go to the POS homepage, click on [Printer], and configure the printer settings.
On the printers' page, the connection status is displayed in the upper right corner, and the connection method is shown below the printer name. Connect according to the specified connection method.

Connect the printer’s power cable and USB cable, then connect the USB cable to the POS. This completes the connection successfully.
