# Connect POS printers

:::note
This article covers connecting printers on the browser-based POS (desktop/web), which uses USB via the WebUSB API. If you are running POS on our Android native app, printers are discovered via the native printer screen and also support Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and LAN connections.

Before you can set up the receipt or label printer:

-   Set up [the register](pos-connect-a-register)
-   (If applicable) Set up a [label template](pos-print-templates)
-   (If applicable) Set up a [receipt template](pos-receipt-template)

## Connect printer hardware

1.  Sign in to the register.
2.  Select **Settings** in the sidebar menu.
3.  Select the type of printer you are connecting: Label or Receipt.

4.  Select the template you want to use.

5.  Make sure there is the green tick next to it. 
6.  Select **Connect**. You should get a pop-up like this. Select the device you want to connect.

7.  Click **Connect**.
8.  Repeat from step 3 for each printer type.

Once they are connected, you should be able to see the 'Connect Cash Drawer' button. This controls whether the cash drawer opens after a payment transaction. You can pick which payment methods trigger the cash drawer to open. E.g. So it doesn't unnecessarily open after a card payment, but does after a cash payment. You can also turn the cash drawer feature off completely.

For full cash drawer setup — including adding an Open Cash Drawer button to a POS menu, and troubleshooting a drawer that does not open — see [Cash drawers](cash-drawers).

## Install printer driver on windows devices

If you are using a windows device for a POS terminal, your receipt and label printers need to be configured to use the WinUSB driver.

The easiest way to do this is to use a tool called Zadig [https://zadig.akeo.ie](https://zadig.akeo.ie/)

1.  Download Zadig.
2.  Click **Options > List All Devices**
3.  Select your receipt printer in the dropdown list
4.  Make sure **WinUSB driver** is selected as the replacement drive and then select **Install Driver**.
5.  Repeat for your label printer.

Once this is done, the devices should connect normally to the terminal.
