# Epson TM-m30III

> Configure an Epson TM-m30III Ethernet or Wi-Fi printer for Plato.

Use this page for TM-m30III printers with Ethernet or Wi-Fi network support.

## Supported Connections

| Connection   | Plato setting |
| ------------ | ------------- |
| Ethernet/LAN | `Network`     |
| Wi-Fi        | `Network`     |

## Configure From A PC

Use TM-m30III Utility, EpsonNet Config, browser config where available, or the SimpleAP flow printed by the printer.

1. Connect the printer to Ethernet, or start the printer's Wi-Fi setup flow.
2. Print a network status sheet and note the IP address or setup QR details.
3. Put the PC on the same network as the printer.
4. Open the Epson utility or browser config if available.
5. Configure IP, subnet mask, gateway, SSID, and Wi-Fi password.
6. Save settings.
7. Restart the printer if required.
8. Print a network status sheet and confirm the network check passes.

## Print Self-Test

1. Load paper and close the cover.
2. Turn the printer off.
3. Hold `Feed`.
4. Turn the printer on while holding `Feed`.
5. Release `Feed` when printing starts.
6. Follow the printed instructions if the printer asks to continue or enter a menu.

## Print Status Sheet

1. Turn the printer on.
2. Confirm paper is loaded and the cover is closed.
3. Access the status sheet button near the interface ports.
4. Hold the status sheet button for at least three seconds.
5. Read the printed network settings.

## Reset Or Reconfigure Wi-Fi

Use the printed setup sheet first. For many TM-m30III Wi-Fi flows, the printer can print SimpleAP or QR setup instructions and then print a network status sheet after setup.

If reset is needed:

1. Run the self-test.
2. Enter mode selection by holding `Feed` for at least one second when prompted.
3. Use the printed menu to enter restore defaults or interface setup.
4. Choose Wi-Fi/Ethernet initialize only when you are ready to configure the network again.
5. Print a new status sheet after reset.

## Configure In Plato

1. Add a `Printer` device.
2. Set `Connection Config` to `Network`.
3. Enter the printed IP address.
4. Enter the printed port, usually `9100`.
5. Configure the printer template.
6. Connect the printer to the correct POS.
