If your terminal has a built-in printer, or connects to an external printer, there are several printing options you can configure that determine when a transaction receipt gets printed, as well as the receipt's appearance.
If your terminal is equipped with a printer, you can adjust the printer settings to suit your business needs. The available printing options are:
If your terminal is equipped with (or connects to) a printer, you can print transaction receipts after the transaction is confirmed. By default, the Secure Payment application's payment module enables the printing on transaction receipts, but you can adjust the setting if needed.
From the main screen, touch Settings.
Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.
In the Configure application section, touch Printer options.
In the Copies section, slide the Receipt Copy Printouts toggle switch to the right if it isn't already enabled.
If you have more than one terminal, repeat steps 1 to 4 for each additional terminal where you want to enable transaction receipt printing.
When you enable the printing of transaction receipts, the customer receipt is always available to print, but you can choose whether to print the merchant copy or not. Printing the merchant copy for each transaction allows you to reconcile your individual transactions with the batch processing and the transaction reports.
From the main screen, touch Settings.
Enter the merchant password and touch Confirm.
In the Configure application section, touch Printer options.
In the Copies section, slide the Merchant Copy Printouts toggle switch to the right if it isn't already enabled.

The payment terminals use thermal paper to print the transaction receipts. You can adjust the level of contrast for the transaction receipts if they are difficult to read. If you have a mobile or portable payment terminal, the contrast level can affect battery usage.
The following table shows examples of each printout contrast level:

In addition to printing receipts for sales transactions, you can print receipts for some non-sales transactions, including:
Declined credit transactions
Void transactions
Completed transactions
Force post transactions
IMPORTANT! If you disable printing for any of these operations, the customer will have no physical evidence of these transactions.
In addition to the transactions listed above, you can enable or disable the following printer settings:
Bar code: Prints a barcode on the transaction receipt that identifies the individual transaction; helpful when using a terminal equipped with a scanner when performing refund or void transactions
Total line on pre-authorization receipts: Adds a total line to the transaction receipt that prints when a pre-authorization is confirmed (usually paired with the tip line)
