# A bridge between Android and your receipt printer.

Set up the connection and paper once, then send jobs from another Android app, a website, the Share menu or a remote queue.

## Three ways to connect

The printer must understand ESC/POS and provide at least one of these connections.

### Network

Connect using an IP address and TCP port. Receipt printers commonly use port 9100, but check your model.

Detail: Wi-Fi or Ethernet

### USB

Direct connection using a cable or OTG adapter. Android asks for permission to access the USB device.

Detail: Android permission

### Bluetooth

Pair the printer in Android settings first, then select it in PosPrinterDriver.

Detail: Pair first

## Four ways to send jobs

### Another Android app

Use ACTION_SEND or share content and, where supported, specify printer 1 to 5.

### A website

Open an explicit link that Android passes to the installed app.

### A server

Register the device with its linkcode and place the job in the remote queue.

### Share menu

Send text, an image or a PDF from compatible Android apps.

## Check your model before deployment

> ESC/POS varies between manufacturers. A feature available in the app, such as cutting, drawer opening or certain characters, may not be implemented by every printer.
