What does Test print failed mean?

Test print failed means Sidro could not send the test slip to that printer. The message on screen usually says why.

  1. Make sure the printer is on, has paper, and the cover is closed.
  2. Match the message:
  • "Bluetooth is turned off." or "Unable to connect to Bluetooth printer": turn Bluetooth on, keep the printer close, and make sure it is paired in Android Bluetooth settings and not connected to another device.
  • "Bluetooth permission is required to print.": allow Bluetooth for Sidro POS in Android settings.
  • "USB printer permission was denied.": tap Test print again and tap OK when Android asks.
  • "USB printer not found for vendor/product ids.": plug the printer back in, then tap Edit on the profile and pick it again.
  • "Unable to reach LAN printer at (address)": check the IP address and that the tablet is on the same network as the printer.
  1. Tap Test print again.

If Test print fails on a computer, that is expected. Printing from a computer isn't supported yet, so use the Sidro POS Android app.

If it still fails on the tablet, email [email protected] with your store name, the printer model, and the exact message.
