# How do I set up an Epson printer?

With an Epson label printer from the TM-i series you print labels directly from apomap. Setup takes about 10 minutes.

## 1. Add the printer in apomap

Under **Settings → Printers**, click **Create printer**. Enter a name, for example "Back office printer", and choose the location and printer type **Epson**.

## 2. Copy the SDP link

In the list you see the **SDP link** for the new printer. Copy it – you'll need it in a moment.

## 3. Find the printer's IP address

Connect the printer to your network. It gets an IP address from your router and prints a label with the network information. The IP address is in the first line, for example 192.168.0.91.

## 4. Configure the printer

1. On a PC in the same network, open the browser and enter `https://` followed by the IP address, for example `https://192.168.0.91`.
2. Sign in.
3. Open **EpsonNet Config for TM-i** and then **Server Direct Print**.
4. Set **Server Direct Print** to **Enable**.
5. Under **Server 1 → URL**, paste the SDP link from apomap.
6. Click **Apply & Restart**. Wait until the printer prints the network label again.

## 5. Test print

Open an order and print a label. The first print can take up to 10 seconds. → How can I use the print function?

In the printer list under **Settings → Printers** you can also see whether the printer is currently online.
