How to connect an Epson or Star printer
IP address, port 9100, WebPRNT and station routing checks.
Steps
- Confirm the printer network. The printer must be on the same network as the ordering device.
- Enter the IP address in the printer settings. For Epson ePOS on Android or iOS apps, use port 9100.
- Send a test print from printer settings, not from a live order.
- Configure station routing — assign categories to kitchen and bar stations.

| Epson ePOS | Every device | IP address (port 9100 for Android/iOS apps) |

Common failure: IP address has changed because the printer was assigned a new address by DHCP. Reserve a static IP for kitchen printers.
