        4. Test print

        • A test docket should print to your printer, and then you're good to go!

        Automatic printing

        Go to Printer Settings ➜ Auto-Print ➜ select Automatically print dockets

        How it works

        • Orders will print automatically as soon as they are received
        • Auto-print does not accept orders, so we recommend using this new setting in conjunction with our Auto-accept new orders workflow

        ⚠️ Auto-print will only work if: 

        • Orders Manager is running on-screen at all times
        • Other apps are not being used on the tablet
        • Your tablet has a solid connection to the internet

        If you experience an order that does not auto-print, you can use the Reprint order option in the "I have an issue" section

        Troubleshooting

        General
        Most issues can be resolved by turning the printer off for 10 seconds and restarting. 

        Not seeing printer when trying to connect
        If you don't see your printer when trying to connect via Printer Settings, it may already be connected to another device via bluetooth. If it is, you will need to disconnect/forget the printer in bluetooth settings on the other device. 

        Auto-print not working
        Make sure the device has an internet connection and that staff are not using other apps on the Orders Manager tablet. Auto-print will only work if the Orders Manager is open on-screen when the order is placed.
