# Adding Printers

Fuze Store 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.

## Adding a USB or network printer

**USB** — connect the cable to the Fuze Store 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.

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

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

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

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](/docs/hub/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 Store Hub immediately. No restart needed.

## Bluetooth printers

Bluetooth printers connect **directly to the tablet**, not through Fuze Store 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 Store 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.
