This guide says what hardware Braavu POS needs at each register, and what it does with each device. Read it before you buy or replace a device.
The register
The installed register runs on Windows. It is the one that sells without a network, prints receipts and opens the drawer. The web register in the back office, which opens in a browser, does not sell without the server: the register computer therefore keeps the installed register as a backup, and the web register uses it to print.
The supported devices
| Device | What Braavu POS uses | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Receipt printer | An Epson TM-T88V printer, with the Epson driver for Windows and 80 mm roll paper. The receipt prints through two Windows print queues, Reçu + tiroir and Reçu seul. | Setting up the receipt printer |
| Cash drawer | A drawer plugged into the drawer port of the receipt printer. It opens through the printer: it has no cable or driver of its own. | Connecting the cash drawer |
| Barcode scanner | Any scanner that behaves like a keyboard: it “types” the code it reads, then the Enter key. | Setting up a barcode scanner |
| Customer display | A second monitor, facing the customer, connected to the register computer. | Setting up the customer display |
| Price labels | Avery label sheets (5160, 5167 or 5163) and any laser printer. | Printing price labels on Avery sheets |
Only the receipt printer is a specific model. For the other devices, no brand is required: they only need to behave as described in the table.
What is not described here
No other receipt printer model is described. The drawer only opens through the printer: a drawer that is not plugged into it is not opened by the register.
The network
The store network is not a register device, but the register depends on it for everything shared between registers (Preparing the store network).
