Settings → Printers & Labels (and related hardware options) is where you connect the physical devices at your counter — printers, scanners, and on Windows, keyboard shortcuts for faster billing.

Label/Receipt Printer Settings

How you connect a printer depends on which device you’re using:
  • Phone: BillBasket connects directly to a Bluetooth label or receipt printer. Pair it from Settings → Printers & Labels — once paired, BillBasket prints straight to it using the printer’s own raw command format (ESC-POS for receipt printers, TSPL for label printers), so there’s nothing else to configure.
  • Windows PC: printing goes through the normal Windows print dialog. A USB label or receipt printer just needs to be installed as a regular Windows printer first (using the driver that came with it), and then you select it from the print dialog like you would any other printer. BillBasket doesn’t need its own special driver.
Windows also has an experimental, opt-in Camera toggle at Settings → Printers & Labels → Camera. Turning it on lets you scan barcodes using your PC’s webcam instead of a dedicated scanner. It’s off by default because a webcam is less reliable at reading barcodes than a proper barcode scanner — only turn it on if you don’t have a scanner handy. For barcode scanning devices (not printers): a USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner “gun” works out of the box on both Android and Windows, with no setup needed here. It behaves like a keyboard — when you scan a code, it simply types the number into whichever field is currently focused. See Barcode scanning for the full walkthrough of scanning in BillBasket.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Available on Windows/desktop only (not shown on Android). Customize what the F1–F10 keys do, so you can trigger the actions you use most — like opening a new bill or jumping to payment — without touching the mouse.

Rajesh sets up the Windows counter printer

On the shop’s Windows PC, Rajesh installs the same model’s USB receipt printer using its Windows driver, then picks it from the normal print dialog when printing an invoice — no BillBasket-specific setup needed.
