eTIMS requires electronic invoices from businesses, and sources describe a thermal receipt printer or an all-in-one Android POS as the usual hardware. Choose the printer to match the software you will run (confirm compatibility before buying), the paper width your software expects (commonly 58 mm or 80 mm), and a connection your device supports. Keep spare paper rolls in stock, because the shop stops when the paper runs out.
Key takeaways
- Match the printer to your POS software.
- Check paper width (58 mm or 80 mm) and connection.
- An Android handheld POS combines device, printer and scanner.
- Keep spare receipt rolls.
