Dripos compatible Epson TM-m30iii and Epson L100s printers are ethernet dependant by default. If there is no option to hardwire your printer to your router/modem via LAN, you may want to purchase an Epson Wi-fi Dongle.

​
Ethernet

1
Position the printer near a wall outlet and a Wi-Fi router.
2
Remove the printer backing to access the power and ethernet ports. These can be found underneath the printer:
3
Connect the power and ethernet cables to the proper ports:
4
Turn the printer on using the power button in the top right corner:
The blue lights on the printer’s status bar will begin to blink. After a minute, they will stabilize, and the printer will be connected to ethernet:
5
When the printer is fully configured, only the power and ethernet symbols will be lit up in blue:
If these lights are not on, your printer is not properly configured to connect to the POS and will not be able to print tickets or receipts.
6
Once stabilized, the printer will print a short ticket listing an IP address:
Make sure to hold on to this slip, as the IP address will be needed to connect the printer to the POS device.
7
Once the IP address prints out, you are now connected to the internet!
If the IP address = 192.168.192.168, this is an invalid IP address meaning the printer is not connected to the internet.
8
Navigate to your tablet’s system settings > Wi-Fi > click the information button next to the connected Wi-Fi > ensure the first three sets of numbers (xxx.xxx.xxx) of the Wi-Fi’s IP address matches the IP address that printed.
The last set of numbers (.xxx) will never be the same across devices connected to a Wi-Fi network.

8
Select Auto (DHCP) when prompted in the IP Address Settings:
9
When ready, press Set to Printer at the end of the setup to send the Wi-Fi network information to the printer to connect to:
