SMA has 2 printing options
- Print using Browser (most printer support this printing option)
- Print using POS Print Server (for Raw prints with out browser dialog)
Bixolon printers will work fine however you might need to change some commands for other printers. Please be informed that we can't provide support regarding any issues. You will need to manage it by yourself.
Barcode Scanners/Readers
Any of the barcode scanners/readers will work fine if it can read accurately.
Magnetic Card Readers
Most of the Magnetic Card Readers will work fine. We have tested this with Uniform MSR213 Magnetic Stripe Card Reader (USB - 3 Track Reader).
Cash Drawers
You should buy the cash drawers that can be connected to pos printer. To use cash drawers, you printer should have the port to connect cash drawer as Bixolon SRP350II and Xprinter XP-Q200II.
For Browser Print, you might need to set your printer to open cash drawer before printing. For Others, it will be fine as cash drawer will be opened with printing and can be opened without printing.
For barcode and label printing
Any desktop laser print will work fine for barcode printing. The continuous feed should work with label printer but the design is very simple. If you need, you can customize template as you like or hire any developer to help you get desired results.
