How to Set Up Your Orderpad Device
Getting your new Orderpad ready is quick and straightforward. Follow the steps below to set up your device and start taking orders smoothly.
Set up your Orderpad
1. Open the printer compartment
Hold the device firmly and press the release button (or lift the grey bar, depending on your model) to open the lid.
2. Insert the paper roll correctly
- Make sure the paper feeds from the top of the roll (or bottom-up on handheld models).
- Leave a small overhang of paper before closing the lid firmly.
3. Connect the power
- Plug the device directly into a wall socket — avoid extension leads.
- Ensure all cables are fully inserted.
4. Check the power connector
Insert the connector into the 24V port (or left‑side charging port on handheld devices).
The flat side of the connector should sit parallel to the bottom of the device.
5. Switch on the device
- Use the power switch on the back.
- The device will trim the excess paper and begin booting.
- Allow a couple of minutes for any updates to install.
6. Connect to Wi‑Fi
Press Home → Settings (cog icon) and choose your restaurant’s Wi‑Fi network.
Important:
- Do not connect to public hotspots (e.g., The Cloud).
- Only use secure, password‑protected networks.
- If your network doesn’t appear, tap Scan.
7. Log in to the Nectar Eats Orderpad app
Press Home, open the Nectar Eats Orderpad app, and follow the on‑screen steps to sign in.
