2\. Name the printer, ideally use the same name as the settings in PushPrinter to avoid confusion. We also recommend turning on 'Auto Print Orders' and 'Auto Print Bookings'.

3\. Now select 'Printer Settings' and make sure that;

* 'Printing Method' - is set to ESCPOS
* 'ESCPOS Printing Type' - is set to 'ESCPOS Image'.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**NOTE** - In the case that your printer doesn't support image printer (not printing correctly or printing very slowly) Please change this to 'ESCPOS Text Only'.
{% endhint %}
