Adding Printers

Fuze Hub supports the four most common printer connections. Once a printer is added here, every POS tablet on your network can use it.

Supported printers

Almost any ESC/POS thermal printer works — Epson TM-series, Star TSP-series, Xprinter, Rongta, and most 58mm / 80mm receipt printers.

USB

Plug the printer directly into the Fuze Hub computer via USB. Best for a single receipt printer at the counter.

Bluetooth

Pair the printer from the tablet directly (not through Fuze Hub). Best for portable printers, food trucks, and market stalls.

Network (TCP/IP)

Printer has an IP address on your local network. Best for kitchen printers — put the printer in the kitchen and the Hub at the counter.

Serial (RS-232)

Older printers using a serial cable. Rare in modern setups.

Adding a USB or network printer

1

Plug in the printer (or put it on the network)

USB — connect the cable to the Fuze Hub computer and turn the printer on.

Network — connect the printer to your router via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, following the printer's manual. Note its IP address.

2

Open Fuze Hub → Printers

Click Printers in the sidebar, then click Discover in the top right.

Fuze Hub scans your USB ports and local network. Any compatible printer shows up in the list.

3

Register it

Click Register next to the printer. You'll be asked to give it a name like Receipt — Counter or Kitchen — Hot Line.

4

Test it

Back on the Printers page, click Test print next to your new printer. A test receipt should come out within a second or two.

If nothing happens, check Troubleshooting.

Assigning printers to receipts or kitchen tickets

Printer assignments (which document goes to which printer) live in the mobile app:

  1. Open Fuze Store → Configurations → Printers on a paired tablet
  2. Pick a printer
  3. Toggle which documents it should print — Receipts, Kitchen tickets, Bill out, etc.

Changes sync to Fuze Hub immediately. No restart needed.

Bluetooth printers

Bluetooth printers connect directly to the tablet, not through Fuze Hub. That means:

  • Each tablet must pair with the Bluetooth printer individually (Settings → Bluetooth on iOS/Android)
  • Only the tablet that's paired can print to that printer
  • Fuze Hub does not need to be running for Bluetooth printing

Use Bluetooth for small, mobile setups (food truck, market stall). Use USB or network for fixed installations.
