Epson server direct printer

The Epson Server Direct Print functionality allows for receipt printing from Point of Sale systems. Once enabled, the POS register sends tickets directly to any Epson printer model supporting Server Direct Print.

Note

We recommended using the Epson TM-m30III model for receipt printing. However, all the following models are compatible:

  • TM-H6000V

  • TM-T88VI

  • TM-T88VI-iHUB

  • TM-T88VII

  • TM-m30II-NT

  • TM-m30II-S

  • TM-m30II-SL

  • TM-m30II-H

  • TM-m30III

  • TM-m30III-H

  • TM-m50

  • TM-m50II

These printers don’t require connecting to an IoT system or configuring an SSL certificate.

Tip

  • The same printer can be used for multiple POS configurations.

  • Setting the Interval field to 5 ensures a balance between printing speed and server load; the printer processes all queued receipts at each interval.

  • Ensure the printer’s Device ID is set to local_printer in the Device Admin section.

  • Update the printer firmware before enabling the print confirmations.

  • Find the printer’s password on the back of the device next to the (lock) icon.
