Getting Started with AnyPrint

Install AnyPrint and print your first receipt in under 5 minutes. No account, no configuration files, no driver installation.

System requirements

Operating System	Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit)
Memory	256 MB RAM minimum
Disk space	200 MB free space
Printer	USB ESC/POS thermal printer (58mm or 80mm)
Browser	Any modern browser on the same PC

Step 1 — Download the installer

Go to the Downloads page and click Download for Windows. The installer is about 82 MB.

Windows SmartScreen warning: Because AnyPrint is not yet code-signed with an EV certificate, Windows may show a "Windows protected your PC" dialog. Click More info → Run anyway. This is safe — AnyPrint is open source and the installer is served from Firebase Storage.

Step 2 — Run the installer

Double-click AnyPrint-by-DAXTOP-Setup.exe. The NSIS installer will guide you through installation:

Choose an installation directory (default: C:\Program Files\AnyPrint by DAXTOP)
Click Install
Click Finish — AnyPrint starts automatically

AnyPrint adds itself to the Windows startup registry so it launches automatically when you log in.

Step 3 — Connect your printer

Plug your USB thermal printer into the PC. AnyPrint detects all connected USB printers within a few seconds. You will see the tray icon turn blue when at least one printer is ready.

Tip: Open the AnyPrint window from the system tray and navigate to Printers to see all detected devices and their current status.

Step 4 — Open DAXTOP in your browser

Navigate to your DAXTOP store at daxtop.com and log in. DAXTOP automatically detects AnyPrint running on port 3088 (or the next available port in the range 3088–3092).

Step 5 — Print a test receipt

From any DAXTOP product page, click Test Print. A receipt should emerge from your printer within 1–2 seconds.

Troubleshooting: If the test print fails, check that the printer is powered on, the paper roll is loaded, and the USB cable is securely connected. Then restart AnyPrint from the tray icon menu.

Verifying the API is running

You can confirm AnyPrint is up by opening a browser and visiting:

plaintext

http://127.0.0.1:3088/status

You will see a JSON response:

json

{
  "status": "ok",
  "version": "1.2.66",
  "port": 3088
}

Note: the /status endpoint still requires a Bearer token. DAXTOP handles the token automatically. See the API Reference for details.

Next steps

That is the whole setup — from here, printing is automatic whenever your store sends a job. A few places to go next:

Read the user manual for the tray icon, printer settings, and troubleshooting.
Browse the API reference if you are integrating your own web application.
Check the printer compatibility list before buying a new receipt printer.

Keeping AnyPrint up to date

You never need to reinstall: AnyPrint checks for new versions at startup, downloads them silently in the background, and applies them with one click. Settings and tokens survive every update. See how auto-updates work for the full lifecycle.
