Receipt Printing

Receipt printing allows orders to be automatically printed in the kitchen. This requires an eesy print server.

Overview

Order → WiFi → eesy Print Server → USB → Receipt Printer

The eesy print server is a separate device (e.g., Raspberry Pi or PC) that:

  1. Receives orders via WiFi
  2. Sends them via USB to connected printers
  3. Automatically cuts receipts

Requirements

  • eesy Print Server: Hardware with installed print server software
  • Receipt Printer: ESC/POS-compatible thermal printer with USB connection
  • WiFi Connection: Print server on the same network as eesy Manager
  • Print Server Account: A team member configured as print server

Setup

Full setup is done in the Admin Panel under Receipt Printers.

Quick Overview

  1. Create print server account in Admin Panel
  2. Install print server software on the device
  3. Connect printer via USB
  4. Configure printer in Admin Panel

Receipt Layout

A printed order receipt contains:

═══════════════════════════════════
ORDER #123
═══════════════════════════════════
Table: 5
Server: Max
Time: 14:32
───────────────────────────────────
2x Burger
- Extra Cheese
- No Onions
→ Well done

1x Fries (large)

3x Cola
───────────────────────────────────
Notes: Guest has allergy
═══════════════════════════════════

Products can be assigned to different print groups. A separate receipt is printed for each group.

Example:

  • Print Group "Kitchen": Food items
  • Print Group "Bar": Beverages

For an order with burger, fries, and cola, two receipts are printed:

  1. Kitchen: Burger + Fries
  2. Bar: Cola

Configuration is done in the Admin Panel under Receipt Printers.

Manual Printing

In addition to automatic printing for new orders, you can also print manually:

  1. Open the order overview
  2. Tap on the desired order
  3. Tap Print Receipt

Printer Settings

The following options can be configured for each printer:

SettingOptions
Paper Width58 mm, 72 mm, 80 mm
ImagesYes / No
QR CodesYes / No
Receipt CutYes / No (automatic cut after printing)

Troubleshooting

Printer Not Printing

  1. Check if the print server is online (Admin Panel)
  2. Check the USB connection
  3. Check if paper is loaded
  4. Restart the print server

Missing Receipt

  1. Check if the product is assigned to a print group
  2. Check if the print group is assigned to the printer
  3. Check the print server logs

Quality Issues

  • Blurry print: Check paper width
  • Cut-off characters: Adjust paper width
  • No cut: Enable receipt cut

Supported Printers

The eesy print server supports all ESC/POS-compatible thermal printers. Tested models:

  • Epson TM series

Recommendation

Use printers with 80 mm paper width for best readability.
