# Connect a cloud receipt printer

An Epson printer with Server Direct Print (TM-T88VI, or TM-T88V with a UB-E04 interface) or a Star printer with CloudPRNT (such as the mC-Print3) fetches receipts from Naayya over the internet. Nothing needs installing at your business.

1. Open the sales point it serves in **Admin > Settings > Point of sale** and select **Add device**: choose **Receipt printer**, then **Epson (Cloud printing)** or **Star (Cloud printing)**.
2. Open the printer's actions menu and choose **Rotate token**, then select **Rotate token** in the dialog.
3. Copy the **Printer address**. It is shown once and disappears when you close the dialog. Keep it private: anyone with it can collect that printer's receipts.
4. Open the printer's own web settings page. On an Epson printer, turn on **Server Direct Print** and paste the address as its URL. On a Star printer, turn on **CloudPRNT** and paste it as the server URL.
5. Wait for the printer to show **Online** on **Point of sale**, then choose **Print test page** in its actions menu.

A job waits for the printer to check in. A job the printer has not collected within 10 minutes is dropped, so a printer that comes back online later does not print old receipts. If you think the address was shared, choose **Rotate token** again and paste the new address: the old one stops working immediately.

To open a cash drawer from a cloud printer, add the drawer as a **Cash drawer** with that printer as its **Connected printer**.

## Use a connected cash drawer

The paper receipt shows the same amounts, VAT and invoice number as the emailed receipt. When the sale was paid in cash and the printer has a connected cash drawer, the drawer opens once for that sale. The drawer opens with the printed receipt, so a cash sale with **No receipt** or **Email** does not open it. A card or other payment, printing an older sale again, or printing the same sale on a second printer never opens a drawer. Every drawer opening is recorded.
