The printer we set up here will be the default printer that the terminal will use for ticket printing.

HioPOS Cloud works correctly with most ESC/POS compatible ticket printers. It is also compatible with ESC/POS* and WOOSIM models. You can also configure the number of columns of the printer. The most common is 42.

Next, we select the type of connection. We can work on a Local Network, with Bluetooth, Serial port, and with a USB port.

If the printer is Ethernet or Wifi, select Local Network and enter its IP address. By default, the port should be 9100.

If the printer is Wi-Fi, we will select Local Network under Connection. In this case, keep in mind that both the printer and the point-of-sale terminal must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. We will enter the printer's IP address and port. We press Test to verify its operation.

When selecting the Bluetooth Connection, we must take into account that the printer must be connected from the beginning with the Android operating system. To do this, go to the Android settings section and in the Bluetooth subsection, select the printer. Once correctly connected, we will return to HioPOS Cloud and select the Device that will already be automatically suggested to us. We click Test to check its operation.

If we select the USB Port connection type, we need to have the printer connected to the USB port of the point-of-sale terminal or tablet. In the Device box, we select the port that HioPOS Cloud will already suggest by default. We click Test to verify its operation.

If we select the Serial Port connection type, we need to choose between the ports that are available. We will click Test to check its operation.

The configuration of the coin drawer can be performed by connecting it to the printer or to the terminal.

The scanner, or barcode reader, can be used in three different ways: via Bluetooth, via USB Port, or via Keyboard Input.

When selecting the Bluetooth Connection, you must bear in mind that the scanner needs to be connected from the outset with the Android operating system. To do this, go to the Android settings section and in the Bluetooth subsection, select the scanner. Once correctly connected, return to HioPOS Cloud and select the Device that will already be automatically suggested. Tap Test to verify its operation.

If we select the connection type via USB Port, we need to have the scanner connected to the USB port of the point-of-sale terminal. In the Device box, we select the port that HioPOS Cloud will already suggest by default. We click Test to verify its operation.

Keyboard entry does not require any device connected to the point of sale. Simply type the product's barcode into the numeric keypad on the sales screen, then press enter. HioPOS Cloud will add the item to the sales ticket.

Connecting the barcode reader to the terminal may deactivate the Android keyboard. To address this, you will need to go to the Android terminal's Settings, then Language & input. Within the 'Keyboard & input methods' section, under 'Current keyboard', you must activate the 'Hardware: show input methods' option.

We will select the client viewer model, as well as the type of configuration it has.

On a Tablet, the magnetic stripe reader works through keyboard emulation.

Pulse Test to verify its operation.

The label printer we set up here will be the printer the terminal uses for label printing.

HioPOS Cloud works correctly with most label printers compatible with EPL or ZPL. The connection can be made via Local Network, Bluetooth, USB port, or Serial port.

The scale we configure here will be the scale the terminal uses to weigh those items configured by weight.

HioPOS Cloud works correctly with most Exa model scales and with the rest of the Generic models. The connection is made via Serial Port. As a connection port, you can choose between the 4 COM ports integrated into the HioPOS Cloud terminal.

When we press Test, the scale configuration window appears. We will have to configure the Weight Request Sequence. This value usually appears on the front of the scale, followed by the acronym (S.P.). In our case, 36.

We can configure the initial sequence position, the weight positions, the decimal separator type, the number of decimals we want to use, the unit of measurement, and the final sequence position.

To verify that the configuration has been performed correctly, we press read and it should display on screen the same weight that appears on the scale itself.

One of the possible settings is the number of decimal places; as shown in the following image, we can select the number of decimal places read on the scale.

HioPOS Cloud allows you to link with CashDro as a cash payment method.

CashDro is the cash register that always balances, and its main features are the following: it allows instant cash closing without discrepancies, it is the most secure on the market in its segment, it works with one or several POS terminals, tablets, or smartphones, it is easy to link with any point-of-sale software and platform (Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS), and it can be managed autonomously without being connected to a PC or POS terminal.

To configure the HioPos Cloud link with CashDro, we will select Configuration, Terminal, and then navigate to the bottom of the screen, where the CashDro option appears.

To pair the device, we will select the Add option.

On the configuration screen that opens, we will need to enter the IP address of the CashDro we wish to connect to, assign it a name, and provide the device's username and password. At this point, a couple of dropdown menus will appear for the administrator terminal and the salesperson.

At this moment, the IP address will appear in the lower margin of the screen Settings, Terminal previously viewed.

When the terminal synchronizes, a new functionality will appear in the Administration section: CashDro. Selecting it will connect us directly to the device.

Through a connection with CashDro, we can perform a multitude of operations, perform queries, configure the device, and log out (for authorized users).

The CashDro screen is detailed below when selecting the 'des' option from the HioPOS Cloud terminal. For more information regarding the operation of the cash manager itself, please consult manuals related to its functionalities.
