Dripos compatible Epson TM-m30iii and Epson TM-L100 printers must be ethernet hardwired. If your router is a significant distance away from the printer, you can purchase a WiFi extender to plug the ethernet cord in.

​
Ethernet Printer Set Up

Connect your printer to the internet via ethernet.
1
Place the printer near a wall outlet and a Wi-Fi router (or your WiFi extender).
2
Remove the cover at the bottom of the printer to access the power and ethernet ports.
3
Connect the power and ethernet cables to the printer ports.
4
Turn the printer on using the Power Button on the top right corner.Several icons on the printer status bar will begin to blink. After a minute, the icons will stabilize.
5
When the printer is fully configured, the Power and Ethernet icons will be blue. If these icons are not lit up, your printer is not properly connected to internet.
6
Once the icon lights are stable, the printer will print a receipt displaying an IP Address for connecting to the POS.
192.168.192.168 is an invalid IP address.Check that your network is online and the ethernet cord is plugged in properly.Turn the printer off, wait a minute, and turn the printer back on to see if the IP address changes.
7
Navigate to the tablet system Settings > Wi-Fi and click the Information button and ensure the first three sets of the IP address (xxx.xxx.xx.-) matches the printed IP address.
The last set of numbers for the IP address will not match.

Legacy WiFi Printer Setup

To begin, ensure you have the Epson Utility app downloaded on your device.

​
L100 Model

  1. Plug the WiFi dongle into the port labeled “USB-A” on the back of the printer.
  2. Factory reset the printer. Find the reset button on the back of the printer (it’s marked with an arrow and “SW”). Since it’s recessed, press and hold it down using a pin or the tip of a pen.
  3. A slip will print saying “Resetting to Factory Default” — this confirms the reset has started.
  4. Wait for two more slips to print, confirming the reset finished:
    • “Resetting to Factory Default Finished”
    • “SimpleAP Start” with a QR code on it
  5. On your phone or computer, open the Epson TM Utility app.
  6. Tap “Wi-Fi Setup Wizard.”
  7. Select your printer’s model from the list.
  8. The app will show a sample image of the slip your printer should have printed. If it matches what you have, tap “Printed.”
  9. Use your phone’s camera to scan the QR code from the slip.
  10. Connect to your WiFi network:
    • If the device running the TM Utility app is already on the same WiFi network you want the printer to join, that network should show up automatically. Select it and continue.
    • If it’s a different network, turn off the “Auto” toggle and manually enter the SSID (network name) — this is the last 6 digits of the numerical sequence printed on the same slip as the QR code.
  11. On the security prompt, just tap “Next” (no action needed here).
  12. Enter your WiFi network’s password when prompted.
  13. Set the printer’s IP address:
    • If the device in which you’re using the TM utility app is connected on the same network to the WiFi dongle, the IP address should fill in automatically.
    • If not, turn off “Auto (DHCP)” and manually enter the IP address printed on that same slip, next to the SSID.
  14. Tap “Next” through the remaining screens until you reach “Set to Printer.”
  15. Your settings will be sent to the printer automatically.
  16. Tap “Finish” to complete setup.
  17. Once complete a slip with the IP address will print out

​
M30 Model

  1. Plug the WiFi dongle into the port labeled “USB-A” on the back of the printer.
  2. Factory reset the printer. Find the reset button on the back (marked with an arrow and “SW”). Since it’s recessed, press and hold it down using a pin or the tip of a pen.
  3. A slip will print saying “Resetting to Factory Default” — this confirms the reset has started.
  4. Wait for two more slips to print, confirming the reset finished:
    • “Resetting to Factory Default Finished”
    • “SimpleAP Start” with a QR code on it
  5. On your phone or computer, open the Epson TM Utility app.
  6. Tap “Wi-Fi Setup Wizard.”
  7. Select your printer’s model from the list.
  8. The app will show a sample image of the slip your printer should have printed. If it matches what you have, tap “Printed” on the bottom righthand corner.
  1. Use your phone’s camera to scan the QR code from the slip.
  2. A prompt will appear asking to join a network named after your printer. Tap “Allow” — this just connects your phone directly to the printer, not to your regular WiFi yet.
  1. Once you allow the connection, another slip will print.
  2. Tap the “Wi-Fi” button on the next screen.
  3. When prompted for a password at this step, enter the last section of the numerical sequence (SSID) printed on the original slip with the QR code. This connects you to the printer’s temporary setup network, not your home/office WiFi.
  4. From the next screen, select the WiFi and then the WiFi network you want the printer to join.
  1. Enter that WiFi network’s password.
  2. You may be asked to confirm the network and password a second time — if so, just repeat steps 13 and 14.
  1. Set the printer’s IP address:
    • If you’re on the same network, the IP address should fill in automatically.
    • If not, turn off “Auto (DHCP)” and manually enter the IP address printed on that same slip, next to the SSID.
  2. Tap “Next” through the remaining screens until you reach “Set to Printer.”
  3. Your settings will be sent to the printer automatically.
  4. Tap “Finish” to complete setup.
  5. A final slip will print showing the printer’s IP address, as well ad marked “PASS” confirming the WiFi connection tests succeeded.

➡️ Once your printer is connected to internet, it can now be paired with Dripos!
