Compatibility
We are compatible with most printers that support ESC/POS mode. The driver downloads below are for models that we most commonly see.
The printer must use 3 1/8 in / 80mm receipt printer paper (no mini/2in models).
We are not compatible with the Star MC series, e.g. “MCP31LB”, as they only support StarPRNT Emulation mode and not ESC/POS.
The Aclas All-In-One units (where the printer is built into the POS unit) are also not compatible.
Driver Installation
First download the driver software for your specific Brand/Model. We have included links to the most common ones below. This software is usually needed for the printer to work properly. Follow the instructions in the installer, and reach out to KORONA Support or the printer manufacturer if you get stuck.
Epson TM-T88V
Follow the link above, and download the most recent “Advanced Printer Driver”.
Epson TM-T20III
Follow the link above, and download the most recent “Advanced Printer Driver”.
SNBC

Aures
Follow the link above, download the “Drivers Windows” option.
Star
Follow the link above, search your specific model, then download the “Star Windows Software Setup EXE File”
Printer Options
The default options should be fine for most printers. For Star brand printer specifically, follow the steps below:
When you first run the software, make sure to set your printer to ESC/POS Mode (seen below). Every time you launch the Star software you will need to select that option each time.
Then, inside the software, go to Print Job Routing and enable ESC/POS routing there as well.
KORONA Studio Setup
After finishing the setup on Windows, copy the name of the printer from the Windows settings. Go to Settings > Devices and Printers > Find the printer in the list and right click > Properties > Copy the name.
Then go to KORONA Studio. Go to Settings > POS Profile > Edit the Windows POS Profile. Find the “Devices” section. If you only have 1 POS, you can paste the name into the “Default Value” box for the printer (and cash drawer) and then you are finished. Reboot the KORONA POS software and then try a cash sale to test the printer and cash drawer.
If you have 2 POS, click the 3 lines in the variable section to create a new variable. Name it printer, then save and close to return to the POS Profile. Set the same “printer” variable for the cash drawer.
Now, go to Sales > Points of Sale. Edit your first POS that you are setting up. On the right, in the Device Configuration Variables Section, select the printer variable on the left and the add the printer name on the right in the Value section. The last step is to restart the KORONA POS software.
