Troubleshooting

Here are some general steps to follow when troubleshooting your printer:

1. When selecting a connection interface in the app settings, you will need to choose "All" in order to trigger a permission prompt and see available printers.
2. Make sure you're following the requirements in the API documentation.
3. Try testing with our sample code to rule out whether the problem is in your own code.

If you're unable to get the printer to work after following these steps, please contact Bixolon support about updating your printer's firmware.
