Printers, scanners and phones
Hibiko runs on the Android phone or tablet you already have. Here is what connects to it, and how.
Bluetooth thermal printers, 58 mm or 80 mm.
Hibiko prints over Bluetooth. Most cheap thermal printers sold in Myanmar speak the same printer language (ESC/POS), so a printer not listed here will usually work too. Burmese prints clearly on all of them, because Hibiko sends the receipt as a picture.
Xprinter XP-T80Q
80 mm counter printer. Connect it over Bluetooth, and choose 80 mm paper when Hibiko asks.
Aprinter AP-CB810UB
80 mm, Bluetooth and USB. Connect it over Bluetooth, and choose 80 mm paper when Hibiko asks.
Xprinter XP-P300
58 mm, Bluetooth. Small and battery-powered; common in Myanmar shops.
Goojprt PT-280
58 mm, Bluetooth. Another common pocket printer.
Tested: printed real receipts, Burmese included, from Hibiko. Supported: the same printer language, not yet on our counter.
USB-only printers don't work yet. If yours has both, use Bluetooth.
Pair it once, then print from any sale.
Pair in Android
Turn the printer on. Open your phone's Settings → Bluetooth and pair it. If it asks for a PIN, try 0000 or 1234.
Print from a sale
Make a sale in Hibiko and tap Print. The first time, pick your printer from the list.
Choose the paper
Hibiko asks 58 mm or 80 mm the first time. Pick the wrong one and receipts come out narrow; change it in Settings → Receipt & Printer.
Barcode scanners
The phone's camera works as a scanner. For a busy counter, any USB or Bluetooth scanner that types like a keyboard works too. If the on-screen keyboard disappears once a scanner is connected, turn on Show on-screen keyboard in Android's keyboard settings (on Samsung: General management → Physical keyboard).
Phones and tablets
Any Android phone or tablet with Android 7.0 or newer. On a tablet, the sales screen shows your products and the cart side by side. iPhone isn't supported yet.
