 Important

Updating to iOS 14+ on iPad will prompt you to grant the Precision POS application permissions to access Bluetooth and local network settings on your iPad.

If you refuse, your printer will not work. To resolve this issue, make sure Bluetooth and LAN permissions are enabled in Settings -> Precision POS on your device.

Device checklist:


In order to set up your receipt printer with your iPad, you must first ensure that you have all the necessary peripherals.


Cables


Since this is a Bluetooth device and does not require any cables to connect it to your iPad. The only cable you will need for your printer is the power cable.


Receipt rolls


Make sure your 80mm receipt rolls are ready to use. To load your receipt roll, open the latch at the top right of the printer, place the roll inside and pull out some of the paper before closing the lid.


Cash drawer (optional)


You can also set up your cash drawer at the same time, to do this you will need a specialized cash drawer cable. This is similar to a telephone line cable.


Before you begin:


Your printer must be in pairing mode or it will not pair with your iPad. If you see the message "Pairing Unsuccessful", hold down the PAIR button on the printer for 5 seconds, then try again.


iPad iOS (required)


Make sure the iPad is up to date and that there are no pending updates. The Epson printer must connect to an updated iOS device. To view it, tap Settings > General > Software Update
