What can you set on a receipt printer or kitchen printer?

Answer

Open the printer under Connected devices. You choose whether it is for Till receipts or Kitchen tickets, how it is connected (USB or IP address), which cash drawer belongs to it and what is on the receipt. A kitchen printer additionally has products, a language, a content and an order. You also adjust the text of the receipt in the Receipt Settings window.

Where to find it

Settings > Till and products > Tills and equipment, click the printer (/Settings/externaldevices). Receipt Settings also opens from the orange warning on the dashboard if there is no logo, header or footer.

Explanation

The window is called Edit with the name of the printer. A printer is a POS printer or a kitchen printer, never both. For a POS printer there are pages for image, text and what is allowed on the receipt; for a kitchen printer you choose the products.
