Information

Receipt printers:

Anything that you can use with Windows, it can be USB, Wifi or Bluetooth, as long as your Operating system can see it when you want to print anything from your browser.

Cash drawer:

Any standard cash drawer that has a standard RJ12 connection ( it looks like a telephone jack and should be “printer driven”).

To setup a Cash Register, you'll have to plug it into the Receipt Printer, then go into Printer properties of the printer > General > Preferences > Paper/Quality > from Media drop-down, select when you want to open the Cash Drawer (after or before printing the receipt)

Barcode scanner:

Typically any USB model. 

To setup, you'll just plug it in and your Operating System should install it automatically. Please ensure that your scanner scans numbers only, doesn't add any special pre-fix (example: tilda)

Reckon Cloud POS doesn't integrate with any EFTPOS terminals as yet but it will in near future

Does Cloud POS support barcode printing?

We do not currently support printing of barcodes from the application. If you think this would improve our product please vote here! In the meantime, we recommend purchasing the Zebra 2824 barcode printer along with the Teklynx barcode printing software.
