Setting up your Clover Mini 3
The Clover Mini 3 is the compact all-in-one countertop POS Arca provides — a touchscreen with a built-in receipt printer in one small footprint. It connects through a hub on its base. This guide covers connecting power, powering it on, and loading receipt paper.
What's in the box
- Clover Mini 3 (model C305) — touchscreen with a built-in printer.
- Connection hub with cables.
- Power adapter with cable.
- Receipt paper — a 40 mm (1.5 in) thermal roll.
Set it up in 3 steps
Connect the cable
Plug the connecting cable into the port under the Mini's base, and secure it with the included screwdriver.
Connect power
Plug the power cable into the hub, then connect the power adapter to the cable.
Plug in last, and power on
Connect to a grounded AC outlet last. The Mini powers on automatically — follow the on-screen prompts.
Load receipt paper
The built-in printer uses 40 mm (1.5 in) thermal rolls. Open the printer cover on top, drop the roll in so the paper feeds out toward the front, pull a little paper past the cutter, and close the cover.
Care & safety
- Use a grounded outlet, and plug into power last.
- Use it indoors. The Mini's 5 GHz Wi-Fi is intended for indoor use only.
- Use the included power adapter only — don't substitute a different one.
- Don't disassemble or modify the device, hub or adapter.
