Before we get to configuring your printer in posBoss, you will need to get the printer(s) all plugged in and ready to be printed to. Usually this is a very simple process but some printers need a bit of a kick start.

If you're struggling with this part, please get in touch with our support team and let them know where you're hitting an issue.

Now.... Let's get your Printer on your Network

EPSON PRINTERS

Ethernet Versions only for these printers - Not USB
โ€‹TM-T82II

TM-M30III-H

TM-U220B

Please note for setup that the TM-U220B is a Dot Matrix printer, not Ethernet.

The newer models of Epson printers should plug via an ethernet cable into your router and be ready to be configured in the posBoss iPad till app.

Tip: Most Epson printers will work with posBoss. To quickly test if your printer works, grab an iPad, download the posBoss app and select the demo mode. You can try searching for and adding your printer here and if it works, you're good to go.
