This page shows you how to print each WooCommerce order more than once, for example a second receipt to keep with the order. It is for store owners who use the [BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-plugin-for-woocommerce), and the setting works on desktop and Android [stations](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#station). ## How the Copies setting works - **One setting for the whole store.** **Copies** is in the plugin’s **General** tab, not on each [printer location](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#printer-location). It applies to every printer location and every [printer](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#printer). - **Every order print uses it.** Automatic prints, prints you start from an order, and test prints from a printer location all print the number of copies you set. The default is 1. - **Copies are part of one [print job](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#print-job).** The print job in the [BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-dashboard) shows once, and the station prints the copies one after another. - **Desktop and Android stations.** The [BizPrint desktop app](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-desktop-app) and the [BizPrint Android app](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-android-app) both print the number of copies you set. The desktop app’s **Save to PDF** printer saves one file for each job. - **Reprints keep the original number.** When you reprint a job from the BizPrint dashboard, it prints the same number of copies as the first time, even if you have changed **Copies** since. ## Check before you send a test print To check the new number of copies, you send a test print, which prints your newest real order again, in every copy. Do these checks first, so you do not print an order twice: 1. Look at the paper at the printer for your newest order’s printout. If it already printed, the test prints it again. 2. Check that the printer has paper, shows no error, and is not in the middle of a real order. 3. Check the [print job status](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#print-job-status) of the latest jobs in the BizPrint dashboard. See [View print jobs and their status in the BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/print-jobs/). 4. Wait for the station to finish anything it is still printing, whatever status the job shows. 5. Go to **WooCommerce** > **Print Manager** in WordPress. 6. Click the **Support** tab. 7. Check **Queue Status** in [**Print Job Queue**](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#print-job-queue). 8. Wait for any pending or processing jobs to finish. See [View and retry failed print jobs in WooCommerce with the BizPrint Print Job Queue](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/print-job-queue/). Do not send a test while a job for that order is **pending**, **connecting-to-printer** or **processing**. Never place or re-create an order to get a printout. ## Set the number of copies 1. Go to **WooCommerce** > **Print Manager** in WordPress. 2. Open the **General** tab. 3. Find **Copies** in the **Automatic Order Printing** section. 4. Enter the number of copies you want for each order, for example 2. 5. Click **Save Changes**. 6. Do the checks in [Check before you send a test print](https://docs.getbizprint.com/print/copies/#check-before-you-send-a-test-print). 7. Send a test print to check the result. See [Send a test print from a BizPrint printer location in WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/print/test-print/). 8. Count the printouts at each printer that the printer location uses. The new number applies to orders that print after you save. To go back to one copy: 1. Set **Copies** to 1. 2. Click **Save Changes**. ## Avoid printing more copies than you want **Copies** multiplies with other settings that also print an order more than once. Check these before you raise it: - **The same printer in several printer locations.** Each printer location that prints an order sends its own print job. If two locations use the same printer and **Copies** is 2, that printer prints the order four times. - **Several printers in one location.** Each printer in the location’s **Printers** list prints the full number of copies. - **Reprints and retries.** Every reprint or retry prints the full number of copies again. Before you reprint, do every check in [Check before you send a test print](https://docs.getbizprint.com/print/copies/#check-before-you-send-a-test-print). See [Reprint a print job from the BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/print/reprint-a-job/). If you only want an extra copy at one printer, keep **Copies** at 1 and add a second printer location for that printer instead. That second location can also use a different [template](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#template), for example a kitchen ticket. See [Create a printer location in the BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/create-printer-location/). If you get more printouts than you expect and cannot tell why, see [Orders print twice or more with BizPrint](https://docs.getbizprint.com/troubleshooting/duplicate-prints/). ## Related pages - [Choose a BizPrint template for WooCommerce printouts](https://docs.getbizprint.com/print/choose-a-template/) - [Send a test print from a BizPrint printer location in WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/print/test-print/) - [Desktop app or Android app: which BizPrint station should you use?](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/desktop-or-android/) - [Orders print twice or more with BizPrint](https://docs.getbizprint.com/troubleshooting/duplicate-prints/) Need help?
