Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Does this work with the new iPad Pro or iPad Air? A: Yes. While this printer features a USB-A port for "Lightning" cables, you can simply use a USB-C to USB-A cable to connect modern iPads. It will still sync data and charge just as reliably.

Q: How do I set it up with Shopify or Square? A: It is incredibly simple. Plug the printer into the mains, connect the iPad to the printer via your charging cable, and open your POS app. The app will detect the "TSP143IIIU" automatically.

Q: Is the cash drawer secure? A: Yes. All three drawer variants are manufactured from reinforced steel and feature a 3-position lock (Locked, Electronic Open, or Manual Key Open).

Q: Does it come with a UK plug? A: Yes, we provide a full UK specification kit including a 3-pin UK mains lead as standard.
