Mobile receipt printers allow you to provide receipts to customers from the comfort of your tablet or smartphone.

Printing mobile receipts is very convenient, but you do need one important supply – mobile receipt paper. Fortunately, you can get this and other business supplies easily from POS Paper. Simply take out a new roll of the mobile receipt printer and load it into your printer. Once you have it loaded, you are ready to print.
Connect Your Device with Bluetooth
Mobile receipt printers use Bluetooth in order to communicate with other devices. Take your phone, laptop, tablet, or another device that you are using to conduct business and navigate to your Bluetooth settings. Here, you will be able to search for nearby devices. Find your new mobile printer and pair your device with it. The specific process may be a bit different depending on what type of device you are connecting to your printer but should be fairly straightforward. It will notify you when the device is successfully paired.
Print a Test Receipt
To give you a bit of peace of mind, it might be useful to print a test receipt. This will allow you to make sure all of the bugs are worked out before actually working with customers. Simply print a receipt like you normally would using whatever e-commerce software you use to make sales. If you’ve followed the steps correctly, you should see your printer spring to life and print a test receipt.
