WELCOME
This guide will help you get started using the BOHA!™ Terminal Food Safety
terminal, from setting up your terminal for the first time, to loading labels, to launching
the BOHA! Labeling App, and more. The guide even explains how to clean your
terminal for optimal performance.
Labels are a key component to this solution. Sometimes, starter labels are supplied
in the container labeled Number 2 but more often your operations department has
selected specific labels for your locations and they will arrive separately.

SETTING UP YOUR BOHA!™TERMINAL
Find a spot for the BOHA! Terminal that’s most convenient for your prep staff
and crew members to easily access the device. Though the BOHA! Terminal is
a rugged device, please be sure to place it in a spot where water and grease will
not be an issue. Also, make sure the power cord does not rest on the floor. If you are
using Wi-Fi to connect to your network, make sure the terminal is in a good spot to
pick up the signal. If you are using an Ethernet connection, make sure the Ethernet
cable can readily reach the terminal.
After several startup screens are displayed, you will arrive at an Initialization screen.
Before proceeding you will need to connect to the Internet using the instructions on
the next page.
1. Remove the BOHA! Terminal
from its protective packaging.
2. Connect the power cord to
the back of the BOHA!
Terminal and a power source.
3. Turn on the BOHA! Terminal
by holding in the Power
Button on the left side of
the terminal for 5 seconds.

Admin Area and Functions
The Admin area provides access to advanced settings and apps. To access the
Admin section, select the Admin icon from the TransAct SmartPanel. You will be
prompted for a Password, by default, the Password is six zeros: 000000
Please be sure to change the password as soon as you setup the BOHA!™

Additional Admin functions include:
• Wi-Fi setup and configuration
• System Font size selection
• Time Zone selection

7. Now load labels into the device.
a. Grab hold of the two tabs at either side of the
lower section of the display and pull up. The
hinged display will make a click sound and you will
be able to swivel the display up until it is parallel
with your tabletop.
The one or two label printer mechanisms and
label buckets will be visible, depending on your
configuration. The BOHA!™ Terminal uses thermal
printing technology so no ink or toner is required.
b. Open each printer mechanism by pushing the
blue tab on the left side of each mechanism to the
left. The top of the printer mechanism will open.
c. Both mechanisms can handle narrow and wide
labels. In this example (your labels may differ in
size or style) place the roll of 2.2” x 2” labels into
the left printer label bucket and then the 1.2” x 1”
labels in the right printer label bucket. Make sure
the labels feed from the top.
Note: If unpacking the labels has resulted in any of the
leading labels being pulled off the roll, leaving a blank
space, trim the roll to eliminate the gap. Otherwise the
gap from the missing label can cause your printer to stop
printing, requiring you to re-set the label roll.
d. Next, thread the labels
under the label sensor as
shown to the right. Notice
that the 1.2” wide labels
will slide only part of the
way under the sensor
because they need to
remain centered with
the roll, while the 2.2”
wide labels will slide all
the way under the label
sensor to the left edge.
e. Then close the latch of the printer mechanisms.
There will be some movement of the labels after you
close the latch and the labels align for printing.
f. Now you are ready to close the display.
Rotate the hinged display down until
it clicks to its closed position.

11
Now you’re ready to open the BOHA! Ops App.
1. Select the BOHA! Ops App icon.
If your terminal has been pre-assigned to your location you will be prompted
to log in using the credentials provided by your IT department.
If your device has not been assigned to your location, you will be prompted to
enter your location code. This code needs to be provided by your IT department.
Once you have entered a valid Location Code, you will be prompted to log in
using your PIN.
You have now successfully connected this terminal to your BOHA! account.

screen. If you ever have trouble with the accuracy of your touch screen, you can
re-calibrate the screen by following these instructions:
1. Access the TransAct SmartPanel™ by swiping down from
the top center of the BOHA! Terminal screen.
2. Open the Calibration App. If you are unable to open the Calibration
App, simply press and hold your finger on the screen until the Calibration
App opens automatically after 10-15 seconds.
3. Select the Start Calibration button in the Calibration App welcome screen.

13
Screen Calibration Target
4. Carefully place your finger, or a stylus tip to be more precise, as close
as you can to the center of each target that is displayed, and remove
it when the target moves to another location on the screen.
5. When completed, the Calibration App will prompt you to Save the new
calibration settings and exit to your BOHA!™ Terminal desktop.
Note: If you feel you made an error when touching any of the points,
Don’t press on the Save button. The calibration app will restart the
calibration process after 18 seconds and you can try again.
