Orderlay Printer Support: Common Issues & Quick Fixes

Having trouble with your printer? This guide will help you troubleshoot common problems quickly, so you can get back to printing orders without waiting for support.

1. Printer Is Not Working

Possible causes & fixes:

  1. Cables not connected – Check all printer cables and ensure they are secure.

  2. Printer is off – Turn the printer on.

  3. Wi-Fi mismatch – Make sure your printer and device are on the same Wi-Fi network.

  4. IP address changed – Check the printer’s IP. Update it in the Orderlay app if needed.

Tip: Try printing a test order from the app after checking the above. If you need help, follow this How to Test Print Guide.

2. Orders Are Not Printing

Possible causes & fixes:

1. Orderlay printer settings

  • Open printer settings in the app.

  • Make sure the correct toggle button is ON or OFF according to your requirement.

  • Save settings and try a test print.

  • If needed, follow the step-by-step Printer Settings Guide

2. Printer IP mismatch

  • Check the printer’s IP and make sure it matches the one in the app.

  • If you’re unsure how to find your printer’s IP, follow this guide: How to Check Printer IP

  • Update the app if it has changed.

3. Different Wi-Fi networks

  • Ensure both printer and device are on the same Wi-Fi.

  • If you are unsure which Wi-Fi to use, try connecting to any available Wi-Fi.

  • Restart your Wi-Fi router if needed.

4. Background file (Web) not running

  • Open the Orderlay web app.

  • Find the print file from setup and double-click to run it.

  • Keep it running in the background (do not close).

Test print: After fixing the above, try printing a new order.

Tips:

  • Orders will not print if the background file is closed, IP is wrong, or Wi-Fi is different.

  • Restarting devices often solves most issues quickly.
