Printer Set-Up

If you utilise a Supply'd scanner you can take advantage of the Supply'd print server to print directly to Bluetooth and WiFi label and receipt printers from a Supply'd scanner.

Printers are configured on an account level allowing you to set them up once and then access them on any of your Supply'd scanners. In Printer Set-up you can set your printers to print your labels or receipts straight from Supply'd. To configure a printer follow the settings below.

This document will take you through the steps for:

Adding a Printer

Go to Settings

Click on your company name in the top right and select Settings.

Select Printer Set-up

Scroll down and select Printer Set-up from the Settings menu.

A list of any printers used for Supply'd will show.

Printers in the list are tagged and colour-coded with and on the Printers list for easy identification.

You can rearrange the Printers list by clicking and dragging the 3 lines next to a printer’s name to move it where you want.

Click Add+

To add a new printer, click the Add + button in the top right corner.

You can also access this using the 3 dot menu beside the Add + button and selecting Add Printer.
