Printing

Setup the printing agent

Three steps. Download, run, pick your printer. Bills and KOTs print from Desto after that.

Download printing agent
  1. 1

    Download the agent

    Get DestoPrintAgent.exe. It’s a small local app that talks to your thermal printer.

  2. 2

    Run it once

    Double-click the file. It starts on this computer — no extra install steps.

  3. 3

    Open the setup page

    In your browser go to the local setup URL. Pick billing and kitchen printers, paper size, then test and save.

Setup URL

After the agent is running, open this on the same PC:

http://127.0.0.1:4000/setup.htmlOpen setup

Choose transport, paper width, and the Windows printer queue. Use Test Bill / Test KOT, then Save.

What you’ll see

Desto Print Agent setup: billing and kitchen printer, paper size, test print

How to fill the options

Transportleave this on Windows Spooler (USB) if the printer is plugged into this PC. That’s the usual setup.

Paper widthmatch the roll in the printer. Most 58mm machines use 32 chars. Wider 80mm rolls use 42 or 48 chars. Wrong size makes the bill look cut off or too spaced.

Windows printer queuepick the exact printer name from Windows (e.g. POS-58-Series), not a share name. Hit Refresh if it doesn’t show yet.

Kitchen printeroptional. Set a second queue for KOTs (no prices). Leave it blank to print kitchen tickets on the same billing printer.

Test, then saveuse Test Bill Print and Test KOT Print. If paper comes out correctly, click Save Config. You’re done.
