The Epson TM-m30II-NT receipt printer can connect to your iPad in two different ways:

In this article, we'll show you how to connect your printer to your iPad with a Lightning to USB cable.

What you need

Depending on if you have a NoAm or EMEA bundle, what you need and what's included in your bundle will differ slightly by region.

In the NoAm bundle, the Lightning to USB cable you need is pre-routed through your iPad stand for you. For the EMEA bundle, you need to use the Lightning to USB cable that came with your iPad.

As for receipt paper, you can use the test roll that came with your receipt printer. It's included in both the NoAm and EMEA bundle. You can also use a full roll—a box of 10 is included with the NoAm bundle. The box is also included in the EMEA but only if you purchased it as an add-on.

The rest of what you need is the same across regions and is included in both the NoAm and EMEA bundles.
