To access and edit printer Settings, your printer should already be set up. If you need assistance setting it up please use this guide.
Next, go to
Stores > Store Settings > Direct Printing
Select the printer you'd like to edit and click Edit Printer
You can rename the printer, choose the text size, activate auto-print, and choose how many copies to have printed.
Printer Buffer is very useful for pre-orders. For example, if a customer places an order on Friday to be picked up on Sunday, you can set up a buffer of 60 min so a ticket will print on Sunday, one hour before the order pickup time.
Don't forget to press Save to apply the changes.
