Network Tethering (iOS device only)

(For Device charging model/Bluetooth model)
A tablet POS system is a POS system that uses a tablet computer in which the POS application is installed. If the
tablet communicates via Wi-Fi, the communication may become unstable depending on the radio wave
condition in the shop or store and it may cause the POS system to malfunction.
The network tethering provides network function to an iOS device that is connected to the printer using a
Lightning to USB cable. This enables stable and reliable operation of the POS system. In addition, the iOS
device can be charged at the same time.
Enable the network tethering of the printer to use the function.
