Which printers work with Oja?

ESC/POS thermal receipt printers with 58 mm or 80 mm paper, which is most of them. Wi-Fi printers need to accept raw printing on port 9100, which most do.

Can I use a USB printer with an iPhone?

No. iPhones and iPads do not allow apps to print over USB. Use a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi printer.

Does printing need internet?

No. Bluetooth and USB never need it. A Wi-Fi printer only needs your shop's Wi-Fi to be on, not the internet.

Does the receipt cut itself?

Counter printers on Wi-Fi or USB usually have a cutter, and Oja tells them to cut. Small Bluetooth printers have a tear bar instead.

How to Connect a Receipt Printer to Your Phone

A printed receipt makes a shop look serious, and customers ask for it. The till prints to the small thermal printers sold in every market: Bluetooth printers you carry, Wi-Fi printers on the counter, and USB printers on an Android phone or tablet. Printing works without internet.

Before you start

The Odogwu or Chairman plan.
An ESC/POS receipt printer with 58 mm or 80 mm paper. Most market printers are.
Bluetooth: on Android, pair the printer in your phone's Bluetooth settings first. The PIN is usually 0000 or 1234.
Wi-Fi: the printer and your phone on the same Wi-Fi.
USB: an Android phone or tablet, and a USB-C or OTG adapter if you need one.

Not working?

Is the printer on, with paper in it the right way up?
Bluetooth: keep it close to the phone, and turn off Bluetooth on any other phone it is connected to.
Wi-Fi: if the till says Not on the same Wi-Fi, join the printer's Wi-Fi. Ask whoever set up your router to give the printer a fixed IP address, so it is not lost after a power cut.
USB: try another cable or adapter. If you tapped Don't allow, unplug the printer, plug it in again and tap Allow.
Try the other paper size, or turn the printer off and on again.
