Here are the details in each step:

Note the transaction number and exit POS.

Click OK for the error message, and complete the transaction.

Take note of the transaction number, located under the bottom of the barcode on the receipt.

Once the transaction number is noted, press the escape key to exit out of the journal. Press escape again to close POS, then click yes for the confirmation message.

Check the printer’s hardware connections.

Turn off the printer by toggling the black power switch on the front.

Check the cables at the back of the printer. The ethernet is on the right, cash drawer in the middle, and power cable on the left. Wait for 10 seconds, then turn the printer back on. The printer will blink an orange exclaimation point and have a solid blue light. Wait until a receipt prints an IP Address like this:
