Square terminal printer not printer

lites — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 10:18:35 GMT

I have a handheld terminal and the printer is not printing...it sounds like it does and feeds the paper out but nothing is on the paper. Is there a place to add ink or any help?

Hi Lites,

The built in printer uses thermal paper - no ink. Try removing the paper and reinserting. I believe you can then test your receipt printer via the steps below:

Settings

Hardware

Printer

Test Print

If it's still not working, best to contact Square Support for assistance.

is the paper in the correct way? I believe thermal paper might only print on one side of the roll.
