Change the IP address of your LAN printer
Access the cash register app on your device to easily change the IP address of your printer. Read on for more information and how to check and test that the LAN printer is already connected.
Reasons why the IP address of your LAN printer could change:
Internet outage.
LAN cable becomes disconnected from the printer or router.
The internet router or LAN cable is changed.
If any of these occur, the printer won’t print and you’ll need to check and change the IP address that is connected to and communicates with the cash register system.
Important: you can only change an IP address for the LAN printer in the cash register app if your user role is merchant or place manager. |
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND fixing the device's IP addresses inside your router for all your cash register devices, especially for the LAN printer. This will avoid further issues with printing. |
