Multiple receipt printers are useful if you have staff at the back of your store passing products to the front-of-store sales employees.
Some cannabis retailers find it useful to print receipts from 2 different receipt printers at time when a sale is made - one to give to the customer, and another to process in the back of store so that the products can be packaged and given to the counter.
BLAZE supports dual-printer setups. This guide will assume that you are using a Bluetooth receipt printer for the front of store (such as with the ELO Paypoint).
The secondary receipt printer must be set up as a network printer. This is because Bluetooth connections can only connect one device to one other, whereas with a network printer you can have multiple iPads sending receipts to a single printer, which is the desired outcome.

Ensure that each of your iPads are on the same network
