Turn your USB printers into cloud printers
You already have printers that work well: an Epson cash register printer, a Zebra for labels, and a laser printer for invoices. This adapter connects them to the ExpedyPRINT service through their simple USB ports. They can then be controlled remotely via a REST API, without leaving a PC or tablet switched on beside them. One adapter controls up to 3 printers simultaneously.
Installation explained
You connect the adapter to your network, plug your printers in via USB, and activate it from your Expedy account. No drivers to install, fully autonomous: we have no access to your accounts or network. See the installation details.
How it works
- You connect the adapter to your router via Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi.
- You connect your printer to the adapter's USB1 port.
- You enable the Cloud API service and start a USB scan from the console.
- You select ESC/POS mode, paper width, and graphics mode.

Frequently asked questions
How many subscriptions are needed for 3 printers?
One. The subscription covers the adapter, not each printer connected to it.
Do I need to install a driver on a computer?
No. The adapter is standalone; no computer needs to remain switched on.
Which port should I connect my printer to?
On USB1 if you are using an eCommerce plugin or Zapier. Ports 2 and 3 are intended for explicit API calls.
Is there a version that includes the printer?
Yes, see the 4G and Ethernet cloud receipt printer.
