Setting up printers
Switch on printing, enter the network addresses of your printers and choose when Tillor prints receipts.

Before Tillor can print, it needs to know which printers you have and where they are in your network. You set this up once for your whole organisation. After that you can print documents. Every setting with an explanation is in Print settings.
Before you start:
- The connector runs on a computer in the same network as the printers. See Connector. If it is not active, you will not see any options to send to a printer later.
- You know the IP address of each printer, which is the network address, for example
192.168.1.100. Give the printer a fixed address in your router, otherwise the address may change and printing stops.
Adding a printer
Switch on PDF printing
Without this switch Tillor prints nothing.
Enter the printer addresses
Under Printer IP addresses, enter the address of the PDF printer IP (A4), the Thermal printer IP (receipts) and the Label printer IP. Leave empty what you do not have. At Receipt paper width, choose 80 mm or 58 mm, to match your receipt roll.
Choose when to print
At Print cutoff schedule, set one or more times per weekday (for example 09:00 and 13:30). At Auto-print timing by payment type, choose for each payment channel: Print immediately, Next cutoff time or Do not auto-print.
Click Save settings
The settings apply immediately to your whole organisation.
Automatic printing on payment
If you want a paid invoice to come out on paper without any action, switch on Auto-print invoice on payment. Per payment channel you decide with the print timing above whether that happens immediately or at the next cutoff time.
What happens next?
- For every print, Tillor puts a job in the print queue, which the connector passes on to the printer.
- Paid invoices automatically go to the A4 printer, and optionally the receipt printer, if you have switched that on.
- If you choose a cutoff time for a channel, Tillor bundles the jobs until that moment. If there is no print time that day, there is no cutoff time.
- Try it out with an invoice, see Printing documents.
