Below are some frequently asked questions about using chit printers.
Quick Links

Can I print chits without a chit printer?

- From the Operations tab, click Chits.
- Select a date range, desired filters, and number of chits per page.
- Click Generate chits, then click View chits for [date] once the button populates.

Which chit printer should I purchase?

Can I use an unsupported chit printer?
You may be able to print using an unsupported printer; however, our team is unable to troubleshoot or provide recommendations for these printers.
How do I figure out what kind of printer I have?
Your printer model is located on the bottom of your printer. If there is no label on the bottom, reach out to hospitality@tockhq.com for help reviewing your printer.
How do I print a diagnostic chit?
Hold down the printer’s feed button while restarting. This will trigger the printer to print a diagnostic chit.
Does my network speed affect printing functionality?
Depending on the connection type, network speed could have an impact on functionality. Your download speed should be at least 100 Mbps per device connected to the network. We recommend running a speed test and providing a screenshot of your speed test when reaching out to hospitality@tockhq.com for assistance.
Can I use more than one type of printer?
Having both iOS compatible printers and WebPRNT type printers within one physical business location can cause interference resulting in inconsistent printing. To avoid this, we recommend sticking with one printer type per location.
