Press the power button firmly for 5 seconds to turn on your Yoco Khumo Print. It connects to 4G automatically, and will install any necessary updates. You can also connect to WiFi, if you prefer.
Linking with your Yoco Profile
Your device is already assigned to your business if you purchased it online, and there'll be an automatic login. You should then be able to transact right away.
If you got your Yoco Khumo from a retail store, you'll need to first sign up with Yoco to create your profile (here).
Next, add your card machine to your profile in the Yoco Mobile/Web App (here) using the Khumo's serial number on the back.

Printing receipts using your Khumo Print
Your Khumo Print is set up to always ask your customers if they’d like to print their receipt, or receive it digitally rather.
To change your settings so receipts are automatically printed instead, go to ‘Menu’ and select ‘Printer settings’. Once a transaction is approved, you can print as many receipts as you need, or reprint any time directly from your sales history.
Changing the paper roll
Changing the paper roll
The Yoco Khumo Print uses a 40mm thermal paper roll. It’s a standard sized paper roll, and can be found at many stationary shops or online stores.
Gently squeeze on the tabs on either side of the top of the Khumo to release the printer cover. Place the paper roll properly inside the printer casing, making sure to feed it through the printer the right way around. Click the printer cover back in place.

Khumo SIM cards
Khumo SIM cards
The Khumo Print has 2 SIM slots, with a SIM card inserted in each:one Vodacom SIM card and one MTN SIM card. Both SIMs are always active, and the signal strength of each network is displayed in the top right corner of your Khumo screen.
The first signal icon is for MTN, and the second is for Vodacom. The Khumo comes already connected to MTN, but you can easily switch over to Vodacom in your ’Settings’ menu in the top left corner. The SIMs are locked to your Khumo, so they won't work if removed from the card machine.

Tap on the ’Settings’ menu in the top left corner of the home screen.
Select ‘Connection’ (the first option).
Select ‘Mobile Data’:Both SIM cards will appear on your screen, and you'll see that both are active.
