Receipt printing
Printing that doesn't need a computer tethered to it
Higgs prints from the browser directly to an Epson network printer on your Wi-Fi. No print server, no driver install, no laptop in a cupboard doing nothing but printing. Add the printer's IP address and hit test print.
14-day free trial, everything unlocked.Included in every plan
No print server
The browser talks to the printer over your own network. Nothing in between.
Epson network models
Any Epson TM with Ethernet or Wi-Fi and ePOS-Print.
Per-device auto-print
The pass prints automatically; the office tablet stays quiet.
Honest setup docs
Including the certificate step that trips everyone up — written down, not support-only.
How it works
Browser to printer, over your Wi-Fi
Setup is a name and an IP address. Port 443 and SSL are the correct defaults for Epson ePOS printers and are pre-filled, so for most restaurants the whole configuration is one field.
- Add a printer by name and IP, then hit Test Print.
- Works from any staff device on the same network.
- The one genuine gotcha — trusting the printer's certificate once per device — is documented step by step.
The kitchen
Auto-print confirmed orders at the pass
Turn on kitchen auto-print for a specific device and every confirmed order prints at that station without anyone touching a screen. It's a per-device toggle, so only the stations that should print, print.
- Runs alongside the kitchen display, or instead of it.
- Modifiers and ingredient changes included on the ticket.
- A good bridge while a paper-trained kitchen gets used to a screen.
Buying one
We tell you exactly what to buy
The rule is simple: an Epson TM model with a network interface. The TM-m30II is the safe default. USB-only printers and other brands aren't supported, and we say so up front rather than after you've bought one.
- Recommended: Epson TM-m30II — ePOS-Print on by default, compact enough for a counter.
- Also supported: TM-m30, TM-T88VI/VII, TM-T20III, TM-T82III, TM-U220 — Ethernet or Wi-Fi versions.
- Not supported: USB-only or serial-only printers, and non-Epson brands.
Printing should be a printer and a network — not a printer, a network, and a computer nobody is allowed to turn off.
Rolling it out
How to put receipt printing into your restaurant
The order that works, and roughly what each step costs you in time. Every step links to the step-by-step guide in the Help Center.
- 01Buy the right printerAn Epson TM with a network interface. When ordering, confirm "Ethernet or Wi-Fi, not USB-only" — that one question prevents the most common mistake.Read the guide
- 02Get its IP addressOn a TM-m30, hold the recessed status button until it prints a slip. The IP looks like 192.168.1.x.Read the guide
- 03Add it in SettingsSettings → Printers → Add. Name plus IP; leave port 443 and SSL as they are.Read the guide
- 04Trust the certificate onceOpen https://your-printer-ip in that browser and accept the certificate. This is the single most common reason a first test print fails.Read the guide
- 05Test print, then automateHit Test Print. Once paper comes out, switch on kitchen auto-print at the stations that need it.Read the guide

Frequently asked questions
- Which printers work with Higgs Menu?
- Any Epson TM receipt printer with a built-in Ethernet or Wi-Fi interface and ePOS-Print — the TM-m30II is the recommended default. USB-only and serial-only printers, and non-Epson brands such as Star, are not supported.
- Do I need a print server or a computer connected to the printer?
- No. The browser prints directly to the printer over your own network, so there is no print server, driver install or tethered computer.
- My test print failed. What's wrong?
- Almost always the certificate step. Because the dashboard is served over https, the browser refuses to talk to an untrusted printer — open https://your-printer-ip once in that browser and accept the certificate, then re-check the Wi-Fi and IP address.
- Can kitchen tickets print automatically?
- Yes. Kitchen auto-print is a per-device toggle, so confirmed orders print at the stations you choose and nowhere else.
- Where do I buy one?
- In Canada, from Amazon or any authorised Epson reseller. In Mongolia, from a local Epson distributor in Ulaanbaatar — ask specifically for the network version.
