# Set Up a Receipt or Kitchen Printer in Munchi POS App

> Set up a receipt or kitchen printer in the Munchi POS app — configure Bluetooth, name your printer, and choose the correct printer type.

Once your printer is physically plugged in and paired with your tablet over Bluetooth, you can register it in the Munchi POS app and configure it as either a **Kitchen** printer or a **Receipt** printer. If you haven't paired the printer with your tablet yet, complete the [Bluetooth pairing steps](/hardware/connect-printer-bluetooth) first, then return here to continue from step 6.

<Tip>
  If the printer search returns an error on the first attempt, tap **Restart Search** to try again. It may take a couple of attempts before the printer is detected.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Plug in the printer">
    Connect your printer to a power outlet and wait a few minutes for it to start up fully before proceeding.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check Bluetooth on the tablet">
    Open your tablet's **Bluetooth settings** and check whether the printer has connected automatically. For Epson printers, the device name looks something like `TM-m30II_067712`. If it appears, tap it and confirm that the **Bluetooth light on the printer is on** — you're connected and can skip to step 6.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pair manually if needed">
    If the printer doesn't appear in Bluetooth settings, follow the [Connect Printer to Bluetooth](/hardware/connect-printer-bluetooth) guide to pair it manually, then return here and continue with the next step.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the side menu">
    In the **Munchi One app**, tap the three lines (☰) in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Navigate to Printers">
    Go to **Settings → System → Printers**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check for an existing printer">
    If a printer name is already listed here, your printer is configured and you're all set. If the list is empty, continue to the next step.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a new printer">
    Tap **Create a Printer** to begin the setup.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name the printer">
    Give your printer a name — use **Kitchen** for a printer that prints order tickets in the kitchen, or **Receipt** for a customer-facing receipt printer. You can add both types, but set each one up as a separate printer.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the Bluetooth printer">
    Tap **Select the Printer → Bluetooth Printer** and let the app search for nearby devices. If the search returns an error, tap **Restart Search** until your printer appears, then tap it to connect.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the printer type">
    Tap **Select Printer Type** and choose **Kitchen** or **Receipt** to match the name you gave the printer in the previous step.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your print settings and finish">
    Select your preferred **font style** and **font size**, then tap **Create**. Your printer is now set up and ready to use.
