[Printer & Hardware Devices](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/partner-app-device?hsLang=en#printer-hardware-devices) # 📲 Tablet/Device Recommendations ## Use this guide when choosing or replacing tablets for running the Slerp app in your stores. ### 1. Purchasing a Tablet When selecting a device for front-of-house or kitchen use, we recommend: - An **IP rating of 6 or higher** (dustproof, splash‑resistant or waterproof where possible) - A **stable Wi‑Fi connection** in the area where the tablet will be used - A **reliable power source** (we strongly recommend keeping the tablet plugged in during service) ### 2. Recommended Tablets #### **Android** The Slerp app is optimised for Android as long as the device can still be updated to a recent supported Android version (see OS section below). Recommended Android models include: - **Samsung Galaxy Tab A11** (preferred Android option for most partners) - Other current‑generation Samsung Galaxy Tab devices that meet the specs below If you are purchasing new tablets, we recommend choosing the Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 or a similar‑spec Samsung device. #### **iOS** #### The Slerp app is optimised to run on iOS using any recent iPad model that can still be updated to a recent supported iOS version (see OS section below). You can download the iOS app from the App Store. ### 3. Minimum Specs (Android & iOS) If you already have an Android or iOS tablet, you can usually use it with Slerp, but older/under‑spec devices may cause performance issues. We recommend: - **Operating System (OS)** - **Android:** latest stable Android release, currently **Android 16**, or **within 2 major versions below** - Recommended: **Android 14** newer. - **iOS:** latest iOS release, currently **iOS 26**, or **within 2 major versions below** - Recommended: **iOS 17** or newer. - **Memory (RAM)**: **4 GB or above** - **Screen size**: **8" or larger** If your device is significantly older (cannot update to a current OS version, or has less than 4 GB RAM), we strongly recommend upgrading. ### 4. Next Steps Once you’ve confirmed your device: 1. Follow our [**Tablet setup**](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/tablet-setup?hsLang=en) guide to install the Slerp app and enable automatic updates. 2. Once your device is ready, you can set up a compatible printer in the Slerp Partner App under **Settings → Devices**. Printers can now connect over **WiFi, Ethernet, or Bluetooth**, depending on your preferred setup. 3. Place a [**test order**](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/placing-a-test-order?hsLang=en) to check notifications, sound, and printing behave as expected. If you’re unsure whether a specific device model or OS version is suitable, please share the exact model name and OS version with our support team and we’ll confirm before you purchase. - [Controls Dashboard](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Insights](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#insights) - [Orders Tab](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#orders-tab) - [Locations Tab](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#locations-tab) - [Products Tab](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#products-tab) - [Discounts / Customers Tab](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#discounts-customers-tab) - [Loyalty](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#loyalty) - [Designer Tab](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#designer-tab) - [Composer Tab](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#composer-tab) - [Dispatch Self-Serve](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#dispatch-self-serve) - [Settings Tab](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/controls-dashboard?hsLang=en#settings-tab) - [Web Ordering](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/web-ordering?hsLang=en) - [App Ordering](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/app-ordering?hsLang=en) - [Partner App & Device](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/partner-app-device?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Slerp App](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/partner-app-device?hsLang=en#slerp-app) - [Printer & Hardware Devices](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/partner-app-device?hsLang=en#printer-hardware-devices) - [Delivery](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/delivery?hsLang=en#main-content) - [On Demand Last Mile Delivery](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/delivery?hsLang=en#on-demand-last-mile-delivery) - [Local And Nationwide Delivery](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/delivery?hsLang=en#local-and-nationwide-delivery) - [Slerp Success & Marketing](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/slerp-success-marketing?hsLang=en) - [Finance Enquiries](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/finance-enquiries?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Finance FAQ](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/finance-enquiries?hsLang=en#finance-faq) - [Reporting](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/finance-enquiries?hsLang=en#reporting) - [Invoice, Credit Notes and VAT Receipts](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/finance-enquiries?hsLang=en#invoice-credit-notes-and-vat-receipts) - [Franchise Attribution](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/finance-enquiries?hsLang=en#franchise-attribution) - [Integrations](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Slerp Menu & Order Manager](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#slerp-menu-order-manager) - [Deliverect](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#deliverect) - [Lightspeed](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#lightspeed) - [CRM](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#crm) - [3S POS](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#3s-pos) - [Urban Piper](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#urban-piper) - [Shipday](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#shipday) - [Custom Webhooks](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en#custom-webhooks) - [FAQs](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/faqs?hsLang=en) - [Support and Updates](https://support.slerp.com/knowledge/support-and-updates?hsLang=en) [![slerp.com](https://support.slerp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SLERP_Primary-Light_RGB-01-1.png?width=200&height=56&name=SLERP_Primary-Light_RGB-01-1.png "slerp.com")](http://www.slerp.com) [Contact Us](https://www.slerp.com/contact-us/) Copyright © 2025, Slerp
