Intelligent Printing – Choose and Setup Hardware

Twirll has partnered with Epson to provide the most powerful, reliable, and seamless browser-based printing experience.

If you’re reading this, you’re likely setting up Intelligent Printing, as your Twirll site is using one or more Windows, Mac, or other devices at the Point of Sale (POS).

The Epson TMi Intelligent Printer allows you to instantly print receipts, trigger the cash drawer, and manage print jobs from secondary printers

Choosing an Intelligent Printer

With a single Epson Intelligent Printer, you can support multiple compatible Epson Ethernet printers and easily configure complex printing setups.

Intelligent printers also have a distinct appearance from the back compared to non-intelligent models.
