This guide is designed to provide you with the necessary information to operate the different
functions of your new POS Terminal whether you are a first-time user or looking to deepen your
understanding of the device. In the following sections, you will find detailed instructions on setting
up your terminal, navigating through its various functions, and troubleshooting common issues.
Hardware Features
Paper Roll
The functionality of your POS Terminal is partially dependent on having paper available for receipt
printing. If the terminal runs out of paper, it will not proceed with transactions until the paper roll is
replenished. We recommend keeping a regular check on the paper supply and maintaining an
adequate stock of receipt paper rolls to avoid any disruption in your business operations. To order
new paper rolls you can contact us at 787-751-1401.
To replace the paper roll in your POS Terminal you should:
Hold both sides of the paper door, which is on the upper corner of the device and open the paper door by pulling outside.
Hold the roll so that paper feeds from the top of the roll. Align the printer paper to the tabs to the paper guides and hold the paper up when closing the door.
With the printer paper extending outside, close the printer door by swinging upward until the door clicks shut, allowing the printer paper to extend outside the printer door.
Internet Connection
This POS terminal relies on internet connectivity, either through a mobile carrier or a Wi-Fi network,
to process transactions, and synchronize data in real time. Without an active internet connection,
the terminal's functionality will be significantly limited.
To connect your terminal to a Wi-Fi network:
1
Select Settings at the main screen.
2
Press, Network & Internet.
3
Ensure that Wi-Fi is turned on, and then, select Wi-Fi.
4
Choose your desired network from the list of available networks.
5
Enter the network password when prompted and select Connect.
6
A confirmation message will appear once you are successfully connected.
Regularly ensuring that your terminal maintains this connection is crucial for uninterrupted business
operations. If your device is connected to a mobile carrier you don’t need to perform any steps or
connect it to a Wi-Fi network, but it is still recommended.
