If you have multiple networks in your restaurant, you may experience some communication problems between devices and / or printers. Most likely, printers and devices are not connected to the same network. To check this you will need to compare the IP addresses of the devices and make sure they are all connected to the same network.

To find out how to check the IP address of a computer click here.

To find out how to check the IP address of a phone / tablet, click here.

What you will need to check is that the first 3 sets of numbers are identical on all devices. For example, a standard IP address looks like this: 192.168.0.100. The first 3 sets of numbers (ie 192.168.0.) Must be identical on all connected devices.
