Print receipts on a thermal printer

Pasal prints proper counter bills on the thermal roll printers Nepali shops already use, 58mm or 80mm, with your PAN details on top when you have filled them in.

1. Connect the printer once. On a computer, plug the printer in by USB and install its driver so it appears as a normal printer. On an Android phone with a Bluetooth printer, install the printer maker's print-service app once; after that the printer shows up in the print screen.
2. Tell Pasal your roll width. Open Settings, then Receipts and tax, and set Printed bill width to 58mm or 80mm. Do this before your first print, see Print on a 58mm or 80mm roll.
3. Print from the till. Complete a sale and press Print receipt. In the print box that opens, set Destination to your thermal printer, not Save as PDF. On the next sale it is remembered as the last-used printer.
4. Reprint any bill. Open an order on the Orders or Billing tab, or in a customer's history, press Invoice, then the Print button, which names the width it is about to use.

One bill, wherever it comes from

The counter till used to print a bill of its own, worded differently from the one the dashboard printed and from the one the customer was emailed. It does not any more. The till, the order document and the emailed PDF are now the same document, so a customer holding two copies of one sale can never find your shop disagreeing with itself.

What the paper calls itself follows the money, not your printer. Paid, with a PAN on file and a number issued, it heads itself Tax invoice. Paid without a PAN, it is a Payment receipt and says in as many words that it is not a tax invoice. Nothing paid yet, and it is an Order summary headed Not paid yet, because a shop should never print "receipt" over money it has not been given. See Tax invoice numbers.

Add your PAN/VAT and legal name under Settings, then Receipts and tax, and they print at the top of every bill.
