ICODE / PRACTICAL GUIDES

POS device checklist before you buy

Check the computer, receipt printer, scanner and network together before choosing a billing setup.

Begin with the software requirements

Ask which operating system, browser and minimum device specifications your chosen software needs. A counter that prints continuously may need a different setup from a mobile service desk. Confirm the number of counters and users.

Match the printer to the receipt

Check paper width, connection, driver support and the required receipt layout. Test a real invoice, long item descriptions and the end-of-day print. For labels, confirm label size, barcode format and scanner readability.

Check the network and power plan

Know whether the system needs an internet connection and what happens during a disruption. Do not assume every cloud system works offline. Discuss local connectivity, backup power and the process for recovering from an interruption.

Ask for the exact models and terms

A useful quotation lists model numbers, included cables or adapters, installation and warranty terms. Contact iCode to discuss current genuine branded devices and compatibility with the system you intend to use.
