Troubleshoot & Fix Printing | Oolio Help Center

Summary

There are many possible reasons why a docket may not print, the primary cause of a docket not printing could be a software issue or a technical issue.

If it is a software issue, it may be something as simple as Not assigning a Printer Profile to a Product in the Back Office. On the other hand, if it is a technical issue, it could be due to a hardware fault such as an insufficient power supply, or faulty cables.

To check whether the issue is software or hardware-related, please check through the following.

No Printer Profile Found

Every product needs to be linked to one or more Printer Profile (Including KDS)

If a product is not linked, the following pop-up message will appear on the screen after pressing 'Pay Now' or 'Send'.

This pop-up will indicate which product is missing a printer profile.

Navigate to the Back Office and assign a Printer Profile to the Product.

Once done this pop-up will no longer appear.

Print Job Failed

When a Print Failed message is shown it could be one of two reasons. Either the POS is having trouble connecting to the Network or there is a technical issue with the printer.

Start by selecting the Printer Icon on the top right of the screen
Select View Printing Queue

In the Printing Queue, the error message can be found
- The error message can help determine which areas to troubleshoot
- I.e. if Failed to connect, it is suggested to check your network settings first

Click on Failed to connect - check network status or installed certificates

Before troubleshooting, select Reprint All as it may be a momentary network dropout
