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 Business Portal (here) using the Khumo's serial number on the back.

Your business details are not stored on the card machine because this is sensitive information. It can only be accessed via the Yoco POS App or Business Portal.

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.

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.

The Khumo Print has a powerful battery, and comes with a USB cable and wall plug for charging. The USB cable also works with any standard cell phone wall plug. A fully charged battery should last a whole day of transacting.

The Khumo Print fully charges in 2 hours.

When not in use for a long time, you'll need to turn off the Khumo to save the battery. To power off, press the power button for 2 seconds and then tap on ‘Power off’.

For safety, please lock your Khumo Print when you’re not busy transacting, by pressing the "Power" button..

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.
​

The Khumo Print comes with access to fast 4G Vodacom and MTN networks anywhere in South Africa. To check the network setting on your Khumo Print, and select which network you'd like to use, follow these steps:
