Setting Up Receipt Printers for SCIS

The SCIS for iOS application or SCIS for Windows application must be installed before completing receipt printer setup. To view a list of compatible printers, read Receipt Printers. For more information on installing the SCIS for iOS or SCIS for Windows application, read SCIS for iOS (iPadOS) and SCIS for Windows Mobile Applications.

SCIS renders printed receipts using the Advanced HTML/PDF Template feature in NetSuite. SCIS interacts directly with the printer. If you use AirPrint, your iOS device automatically recognizes accessible printers. If you use StarPrint, the SCIS for iOS application and SCIS for Windows application allows discovery of accessible printers.

To complete printer setup for SCIS, you must configure printer settings on the SCIS Settings custom record. Here you can choose to use automatic printing, so that receipt printing is automatically initiated when an order is submitted. You can also set the paper size for specific printers or use default paper size settings.
