Make sure that your printer is properly connected to power, paper is loaded, and the blue light is steady. When you turn on the printer, the first thing it prints is a small piece of paper. That way you know it's ready.

  • For the Epson TM-m30 you need the receipt paper with a width of 80mm.

  • If you have two or more printers connected, you can assign them a specific function (e.g. kitchen).

  • Only employees with manager rights can change the printer settings.

You will now find the individual instructions depending on the type of connection (Ethernet, Bluetooth, Wifi).

EPSON TM-m30 with Ethernet

For the EPSON TM-m30 with Ethernet you additionally need an Ethernet cable which you can buy in any electronics store.
Connect the printer to the router via the Ethernet cable.

You can now find the printer in the Paymash app under Settings → Printer settings. 

EPSON TM-m30 with Bluetooth and TM-P20 with Bluetooth

Turn on the Bluetooth feature on the device you want to use Paymash on. Now connect to the printer by opening the Bluetooth settings on your iPad or iPhone and selecting the printer.

You can now find the printer in the Paymash app under Settings → Printer settings. 

EPSON TM-m30 with Wifi

  • Your mobile phone or tablet is connected to the WLAN to which the receipt printer will later be connected.

  • Paper roll is inserted and has enough paper.Make a note of the password for the WLAN and its encryption. (WEP, WPA, WPA2) (In case of doubt use WPA2 as it offers the best security)
