Why we don’t recommend Bluetooth
Although the order taking app allows you to connect a thermal printer via Bluetooth, we don’t recommend it. Here’s why:
1. Discovering the printer via Bluetooth is often times rather difficult. Also, for many printers, once the connection is lost, it cannot be re-established automatically;
2. Bluetooth has a range of maximum 10 meters and is prone to interferences from other EM waves (like a microwave oven or some Wi-Fi networks);
3. We have encountered size limitations with printers from different manufacturers (like Star TSP650II).
