iPad, iPhone & Mac Compatible Receipt Printers
To print receipts from an iPad, iPhone or Mac till, you need a printer that connects over Bluetooth or your network rather than a USB-only printer made for a Windows PC. POS Plaza stocks receipt printers suited to tablet and cloud POS, from around $229 inc GST, with local stock and same-day dispatch from Sydney.
How do iPad receipt printers connect?
iPad and Mac POS apps print to a receipt printer over Bluetooth or over the local network (LAN/Wi-Fi), since iPads do not use the USB printer drivers a Windows PC relies on. Bluetooth suits a single mobile till, while a network connection lets several iPads share one printer. The Epson TM-T20 thermal receipt printer is a dependable option in this range from $229 inc GST.
The best printers for iPad POS
For the smoothest tablet setup, look at compact Bluetooth and network printers. The Bluetooth receipt printer range and the Epson TM-m30III (an ultra-compact printer with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and a tablet-charging POS hub) and the Star mPOP (a combined Bluetooth printer and cash drawer) are popular choices for iPad tills. Tell us your app and we will point you to the right one.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Can I connect a receipt printer to an iPad?

Q: Which receipt printer is best for Square on iPad?
A: Compact Bluetooth or LAN printers such as the Epson TM-m30III or Star mPOP are commonly used with Square on iPad. Confirm the current supported list in your app, or call us and we will help.
Q: Do iPad receipt printers need ink?
A: No. They are direct thermal printers that print onto 80mm thermal paper, so the only consumable is thermal receipt rolls.
Q: Can several iPads share one printer?
A: Yes, if the printer is connected to your network. A network/LAN printer can be shared by multiple iPad tills, while Bluetooth printers pair with one device at a time.
