POS Receipt Printers

  • Flourish Supports Epson Printers. Printers must support ESC/POS.
  • Current: *Pending Final Testing
    • Epson TM-T88VII Thermal Receipt Printer (C31CJ57052)
  • Legacy:
    • ​Epson TM-T88V, Epson TM-T88VI Thermal Receipt Printer
  • Not supported for new installations:
    • STAR: TSP-100iii & TSP-143 Thermal Receipt Printers
      Star was supported by Flourish Software for many years until pivoting to Epson in 2022. Historically supported Star models (USB connection only) may, and likely will still work. Due to how Star handles different printer commands via network connections, along with different cable functionality, Star Printers were more complex to support than Epson. We want the best customer experience for our customers, their customers, and our support and development teams, so we switched to discontinuing Star support in favor of Epson. If you have a historically compatible USB Star printer and can configure it to work, Flourish will not actively disable that support or use. However, this is at your own risk. Flourish cannot support troubleshooting efforts or upgrade to code to support Star connectivity issues.

POS Cash Drawers

Any Epson-compatible cash drawer.

POS ID Scanners

See our IDScan.net/shop page for specifics (Pending update)

Flatbed Scanners

Use this for scanning patient/customer documentation in retail (or for other general business documentation scanning). Flourish does not have a scanner integration at this time. Choose a scanner that can scan to a network drive and upload the document to the Flourish application.

Mobile Device Scanners

Flourish Mobile application runs on Android OS 10 and above.

We strongly recommend Zebra handheld scanners for their superior durability with integrated scanning.

  • Current:
    • Zebra TC21 & TC26

Network Infrastructure:

As Flourish is a cloud hosted application, having a fast, reliable, and secure network infrastructure is necessary to support operations. below are best practices to provide those that environment.

  • Hardware all equipment into the network.
  • All wiring should be​ Cat5e, or higher​ cabling, shielded as necessary, and properly terminated.
  • For self-managed networks we recommend reviewing and training on PCI Merchant Resources including PCI Firewall Basics.
  • Segregated Networks, Physical (preferred) or Logically, for Retail, Payments, General Operations, and Staff.
