Print receipts from an iPhone: RTPrinter or Bluefy

Two ways to print a receipt from an iPhone to a Bluetooth printer: send it to RTPrinter from the Share sheet, or print in one tap from Bluefy.

Safari on an iPhone can't reach a Bluetooth printer by itself, so the printer button in the title bar only offers the phone's ordinary printing. To get a receipt onto a PT-210 or a similar portable receipt printer, use one of these two ways.

Way 1: RTPrinter, through the Share sheet

Set up once: install the free RTPrinter app from the App Store and connect your printer in it.

  1. Record the visit. Its receipt opens.
  2. Tap Print with RTPrinter.
  3. In the list that opens, choose RTPrinter. If you don't see it in the row of apps, scroll along the row or choose More.
  4. Print from RTPrinter.

The receipt goes to RTPrinter as a PDF the width of 58mm paper, laid out exactly as it looks on screen. If the Share sheet doesn't open, the PDF opens in a tab of its own instead; tap that tab's Share button and choose RTPrinter from there.

Way 2: Bluefy, in one tap

Bluefy is a free browser for iPhone that can talk to Bluetooth printers itself, so you can print without leaving the page.

  1. On any receipt in Safari, tap Get Bluefy to install it, then Copy this page's link.
  2. Open Bluefy, paste the link and sign in to Artisanly.
  3. On a receipt, tap Print receipt. The first time, Bluefy asks which printer to use; choose your PT-210.
  4. Later receipts go straight to the same printer while Bluefy stays open.

In Bluefy, Print with RTPrinter is still there as a second option.

Which to choose

RTPrinter keeps you in Safari and works with whatever RTPrinter can reach, at the cost of a couple of taps per receipt. Bluefy is quicker on a long run with many receipts, but you work in Bluefy rather than Safari for the day. Both print the same receipt.
