Printer - POS devices

[Leoma]

I intend to use 3 POS devices (3 iPads for 3 staff) in my business. I have an Epson TM-m30ii printer. How can I connect all 3 devices to the printer to print bill?

Thank you.

Hello. These articles explain how to connect printer depending on the interface type.
To connect a printer to 3 devices, please repeat the same method to connect printer 3 times.

Ethernet
Bluetooth
USB with Android
USB with iOS

Bluetooth - Based on how the connection types work, Bluetooth is out because a Device can only connect to One connection at a time and that is how it was designed.

USB - A USB hub "might" work, but likely not because the printer itself would have to understand the various devices connected to the hub and then itself, I only know of one POS Printer that has a hub built in and it does not allow multiple items to print only as a hub for barcode scanner, etc..

Ethernet - Ethernet is your most likely to work and best case to try, as the device could be assigned a Static IP, each POS connects to that IP as a Printer and sends the data that way. This is likely your best way to try but I would assign an IP to the printer for consistency of connection, as a rotating IP would lose connection for the printer.
