Help! I have an Epson ES-300W that works excellently at home. But I cannot figure out how to power it or connect it to use in my car. What should I do?
You can buy a power converter thing that plugs into the cigarette lighter/charger thing and has plug ins for electronics. I bought mine at a truck start. But I don’t run a printer in my car.
“thing” - LOL… I could help it…
Is it a power thing, or wifi thing?
It’s a power thing. If I had to have wifi on the road I have a mobile hot spot from my phone. Google “Power plug in for car” and you’ll get a bunch of options at Amazon

Okay, yes you might need to get a converter which
Changes alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Converters are used to charge devices that require a stable DC voltage, like batteries or Inverter which
Changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). Inverters are used to run household appliances and electronics that require AC power. I have an inverter that’s not connected to my car battery. That’s another story.
You want technical go to Best Buy. If you google Car Power Converter Thing it gets you this. So if Google understands that’s good enough for me.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I was able to find the answer on a YouTube video. I had to set my iPhone to Local Network and use the SSID located on the back of the scanner.
Thanks again!
