Set Up Your TSP654II AirPrint Receipt Printer

Step-by-step instructions to set up our most highly recommended receipt printer

The TSP654II AirPrint Receipt Printer lets you print paper receipts from Apple devices over your WiFi network. It also integrates with a cash drawer — selecting Print inside a trip will open the drawer automatically.

This guide covers initial hardware setup: connecting the printer to your network and adding it to your device.

What you will need

From the manufacturer:

  • TSP654II AirPrint Receipt Printer
  • Star AirPrint guide sheet (included in the box — contains your login credentials)

From you:

  • Ethernet cable (for initial setup only)
  • Internet-connected router

Set up the printer

  1. Plug in the printer. While holding the Feed button, switch the printer on. Release the Feed button once it powers up.
  2. Connect the printer to your router using the Ethernet cable.
  3. The printer will automatically print two sheets. The second sheet shows your IP address under Ethernet Network — note this down.
