Hardware Specifications

Printers
iPad - The Star Micronics printer series are our current recommendation. These printers can connect via Bluetooth to an iPad.
PC Setup - Erply will work with any printer that is compatible with your hardware. We recommend printers that can drive a cash drawer.
Cash drawer
You want a printer-driven cash drawer. This means the cash drawer is attached to the printer and will automatically pop open when you print out a receipt. Drawers connecting directly to the computer will not work with Erply.
Barcode scanners
You can use any barcode scanner that can be set to Keyboard Mode. Most barcode scanners can be set to this via a barcode in their documentation.
If you do not have the documentation for your scanner, the manufacturer’s website will have it available.
With iPads, we recommend a bluetooth barcode scanner with a toggle on/off button so you can switch between the iPad’s keyboard or the barcode scanner as an input
