Preview and print a receipt
The Receipt Preview screen is the last step before a receipt becomes fiscal. It shows the full receipt — items, totals, VAT, payments — and prints it on your fiscal printer with a single tap. Once the printer returns a fiscal ID, the receipt is stamped and ready to hand to the customer.
Open the preview screen
You can reach the preview screen in two ways:
- From a new receipt — after adding items and validating payment in New Receipt, tap Preview & Print.
- From the Receipts tab — tap any row in the list to reopen that receipt's preview.
Both paths land on the same screen.
Read the preview layout
The preview is a single scrollable summary, top to bottom:
- Success banner — appears after a successful print, with the fiscal ID returned by the printer.
- Header — receipt type and the date and time it was created.
- Items — one row per item, with quantity, unit price and line total.
- Total — the receipt total in your currency.
- VAT breakdown — one row per VAT rate, with the taxable base and VAT amount.
- Payment — one row per payment method, with the amount.
- Action button — either Print Receipt or Done, depending on the state.
Print the receipt
Tap Print Receipt
The button shows a spinner and the label changes to Printing…. The button is disabled while printing, so a second tap does nothing.
Wait for the printer
The receipt is sent to the fiscal printer assigned to your current location. There is no progress indicator beyond the spinner — wait until the printer finishes.
Confirm the fiscal ID
On success, a green banner appears at the top of the screen with the Fiscal ID returned by the printer. The action button changes to Done.
Tap Done
This closes the preview and returns you to the main screen. The printed receipt stays in your Receipts history.
Choose the active printer
The preview screen does not ask you to pick a printer. It uses the first paired fiscal printer for your current location.
To print on a different device, switch location in Settings. The printer paired for that location is then used for the next print.
Reprint a receipt
You can reopen any receipt from the Receipts tab and print it again. The success banner from the original print is not shown — the screen looks like a fresh print.
Handle errors and warnings
Receipt not found
If the receipt cannot be loaded, the preview shows Receipt not found. Use the back button to return to the previous screen.
No printer paired
If no fiscal printer is paired for your current location, tapping Print Receipt shows:
No Device — Please pair a fiscal printer first.
Pair a printer under Devices, or switch to a location that already has one.
Print failed
If the printer rejects the receipt, an alert appears with the title Print Failed and the error message returned by the printer. Once you dismiss the alert, the screen returns to the idle state and you can tap Print Receipt again to retry.
Know the limits of this screen
- No retry button. Tap Print Receipt again after a failure.
- No fallback to a second printer. If the assigned printer is offline, switch location.
- No edit. To change items or payments, start a new receipt.
- No copy or share of the fiscal ID. The fiscal ID stays in the receipt's history.
- No void or correction (storno). Issue corrections from the Receipts or Operations tab.
Next steps
- Receipts — browse, search and reprint past receipts.
- Devices — pair and manage your fiscal printers.
- Settings — switch the active location.
- Operations — issue corrections and per-device actions.
Device detail
Inspect a single fiscal printer — check cash balance, run X and Z reports, edit fiscal settings, and review the command history for that device.
Find your printer
Use the Find Printer screen in the e-bon app to scan for nearby fiscal printers over Bluetooth or your local network, read the signal strength, and pick the right device to pair.
