# Pair an Epson Printer to Your Tablet via Bluetooth

> Pair your Epson receipt printer to an Android tablet over Bluetooth so it can be configured in the Munchi POS app printer settings.

Before you can configure your Epson printer in the Munchi POS app, you need to pair it with your tablet over Bluetooth. This involves putting the printer into pairing mode through a short button sequence, after which the tablet will detect it automatically. Make sure the printer has fully powered on before you begin — you should see exactly three lights on the device.

<Tip>
  When pairing is successful, the Bluetooth button on your Epson printer will glow a steady blue. If it's flashing or off, the connection wasn't established — retry the steps from the beginning.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Wait for the printer to be ready">
    Power on the printer and wait until it shows **3 lights**: one blue and two orange. Do not proceed until all three lights are visible.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the printer lid">
    Open the printer lid from the **right corner**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Activate pairing mode">
    Press the button with the **upward arrow icon** repeatedly until the **third light starts flashing**, then close the lid.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Follow the printed receipt instructions">
    The printer will print a receipt. Follow the instructions on it — select **option 2** (Network Status Sheet), then press the arrow button **once quickly**, followed by **once long**. A second receipt will print.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect on the tablet">
    On your tablet, open **Bluetooth settings**. Your Epson printer should appear with the same number shown on the printed receipt (for example, `TM-m30III_067702`). Tap it to connect.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the connection">
    When the connection is successful, the **Bluetooth button on the printer will glow blue**. Your printer is now paired and ready for the next step.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Continue with printer setup">
    Return to the [Printer Setup guide](/hardware/setup-printer) and continue from **step 6**.
