# Sunmi Printers

## Configure Built-In Terminal Printers

For Sunmi POS terminals with an internal printer, use `Built-In Printer` or `Android Driver` depending on the device setup.

Use a clear printer name such as `Sunmi Built-In Receipt` so staff can tell it apart from external kitchen or bar printers.

## Checks

For external Sunmi printers, check Ethernet or Wi-Fi, IP address, paper, and cover. For terminal printers, confirm the Plato device is using the built-in or Android driver path and test a receipt from the same terminal.
