printer (E/P) enable the printer to perform consecutive reading of MICR characters,
endorsement printing, and front printing, in a single pass of a check.
•High throughput using bidirectional minimum distance printing.
•A mecha
•Opening the front carriage unit makes removing jammed paper easy.
•The validation model printer can print an 8-line validation.
nical form stopper gives stability to slip paper.
Receipt printing
•High-speed printing enables issuing of batch receipts.
•Graphics are also printed with high-speed printing.
•Multi-tone graphics printing is possible.
•Bar code and two-dimensional symbol printing is possible.
•Easy drop-in paper loading.
•An autocutter is standard equipment.

• Paper-saving function is suppor
ted.
Software
•Command protocol is based on the ESC/POS Proprietary Command System.
• OPOS ADK, JavaPOS ADK, and Windows printer drivers are available.
•Automatic Status Back (ASB) function that automatically transmits changes in the printer
status is supported.
•A maintenance counter function is supported.
11
Interfaces
•Various interface boards (EPSON UB series) can be used.
•A built-in USB interface is also available for serial/parallel interface models.
Environment
ENERGY STAR qualified. (Some configurations may be exempted, depending on their
components.)
Others
•Small footprint and simple design.
•Direct connection of EPSON customer display series (DM-D) is possible.

Chapter 1 Product Overview
Product Configurations
There are two models of the TM-H6000IV: a standard model that can perform slip printing and
receipt printing and a validation model that can also perform validation printing.
An optional MICR reader that can read magnetic ink characters is available for both of the
models. Also, an endorsement printer (E/P) that can print on the back of checks i
the standard model.

Before turning the printer off, it is recommended that you send a power-off command to the
printer. If you use the power-off sequence, the latest maintenance counter values are
saved. (Maintenance counter values are usually saved every two minutes.)
For detailed information about ESC/POS commands, see the ESC/POS Application
Programming Guide.
Power Switch Cover
Install the power switch cover included with the printer to prevent
inadvertent changing of the power switch, to prevent tampering,
and to improve the appearance of the printer.
To reset the printer when the power switch cover is installed,
insert a long, thin object (such as the end of a paper clip) into the
hole in the power switch cover and press the power switch.
If an accident occurs with the power switch cover attached, unplug the power cord
immediately.
WARNING
Continued use of the printer may cause fire or shock.

NV Memory (Non-Volatile Memory)
The printer's NV memory stores data even after the printer power is turned off. NV memory
contains the following memory areas for the user:
•NV graphics memory
• User NV memory
•Memory switches
•Receipt Enhancement (R/E)
•User-defined page
•Maintenance counter
As a guide when you program applications, NV memory should be rewritten 10 or fewer
times a day.
NV Graphics Memory
Graphics, such as shop logos to be printed on receipts, can be stored. Even with a serial interface
model whose communication speed is low, high speed graphic printing is possible.
Use the TM-H6000IV Utility to register graphics. You can also print and confirm the registered
graphics in the TM-H6000IV Utility or NV graphics memory pr

User NV Memory
Yo u can store and read text data for multiple purposes, such as for storing a note including
customizing or maintenance information of the printer.
Use ESC/POS commands to store and read the text data.
For information about ESC/POS commands, see the ESC/POS Application Programming
Guide.

Chapter 1 Product Overview
Memory Switches
With the memory switches, which are software switches for the printer, you can configure
various settings of the printer.
For information about the memory switches, see "Setting the Memory Switches/Receipt
Enhancement" on page 65.
R/E (Receipt Enhancement)
Graphics, such as shop logos, can be printed on top or bottom of receipts by setting R/E.
For information about R/E, see "Setting the Memory Switches/Receipt Enhancement" on page
65.
User-defined Page

Yo u can store character data in the user-defined page (character code table: pages 254 and 255) so
that you can also print characters not resident in the printer.
Maintenance Counter
With this function, printer information, such as the number of lines printed, the number of MICR
readings, the number of autocuts, and printer operation time after the printer starts working, is
automatically stored in NV memory. You can read or reset the information with the TM-H6000IV

• When changing the paper width, you need to install the optional 58 mm paper guide
(PG-58II) and to change the setting for the paper width with the customized value. To
change the paper width, see "Changing the Paper Width" on page 44.
• Because some parts of the print head and the autocutter contact the platen and they
may become worn out in 58 mm printing, once you change the paper width from 80 mm
to 58 mm, you cannot change it back to 80 mm.

Chapter 1 Product Overview
• The slip paper must be flat, without curls or wrinkles, especially at the top edges.
• When using slip paper with a glued area, choose it carefully, since paper feeding is
affected by gluing conditions, such as position and dimension.
OK to use Use carefully Use carefully Use carefully
Paper inserting direction
• Use thinner paper (N30 or equivalent) between the top and bottom sheets of multi-ply
paper. If thick paper is used, the copy capability is lowered.
• Do not use paper that has holes, or is translucent at the BOF sensor position.
• Do not use paper that has holes or dark positions with low reflection (less than 40%
reflection) on the front at the TOF sensor position.

• Paper must not be pasted to the roll paper spool.
• For the best print quality for each paper type, it is recommended to test the print density.
