Step 1: Unbox and Inspect Your Equipment


When your POS system arrives, carefully unbox it and check for all the necessary components, which may include:


  • Desktop PC or Touchscreen (POS System)

  • POS Software (Pre-installed by TillSense technicians)

  • Receipt Printer

  • Cash Drawer

  • Barcode Scanner

  • Customer Display

  • Power Cables and Adapters

  • Network Cables (if applicable)

  • Software License or Activation Code


If anything is missing, contact TillSense immediately.


Step 2: Positioning and Powering Up



  • Place your POS hardware in the correct locations (counter, desk, or kiosk).

  • Plug in all devices into a power source and ensure they turn on.


Step 3: Connecting POS Hardware with ROBOTILL Software


Connecting POS Hardware

a) Receipt Printer Setup

1️⃣ Connect the printer via USB, Ethernet, or Bluetooth

2️⃣ Install the printer driver (if required).

3️⃣ Open ROBOTILL → Go to Setup → Print Settings.

Step 4: Testing the System


  • Process a test transaction (scan item, print receipt, open cash drawer).

  • Test all payment methods (cash, card, mobile payments).

  • Ring up a test transaction using different payment methods.

  • Print a receipt and verify all details are correct.

  • Refund the test sale if needed to check the refund process.

  • Ensure reports and sales data are being recorded correctly.


Step 5: Security and Backup


  • Create accounts for employees who will use the POS.

  • Assign roles and permissions (e.g., cashiers, supervisor, managers, admins).

  • Set up security measures like PIN codes or fingerprint login if available.

  • Enable automatic backups (local or cloud-based).

  • Install surge protectors or UPS to protect against power failures.


Step 6: Train Staff and Go Live


  1. Provide a quick demo to your staff on how to use the system.

  2. Show them how to process sales, handle refunds, and troubleshoot minor issues.

  3. Once confident, start using the POS system with real customers!
