Overview
This section explains the outline for the Easy Setup.
What is Easy Setup?
Easy Setup is a function that saves the settings for the TM-i series EPSON TMNet WebConfig on
USB memory, copying it to a different TM-i. You can perform settings for multiple TM-i devices
quickly and efficiently.
If you are using a printer that can be controlled (a TM printer connected to a network), you can
also perform their network settings at the same time.
1
Use the following procedure to save the settings on USB memory.
Use the EasyKittingUtility.xls file included with this manual or a text editor
1
to create a setting.ini file.
Copy the setting.ini file and the web content file to the USB memory.
2

Page 8
Perform settings on the printer to be copied to, using the following procedure.
Insert the USB memory.
1
Set roll paper in the TM-i, and turn the power on.
2
If you are using a printer that can be controlled (a TM printer connected
3
to a network), perform the following steps.
1. Connect the printer that can be controlled to the TM-i, set the roll paper in the TM printer,
and then turn the power on.
Printer that can be
controlled
Wired LAN printer
Wireless LAN printer
2. To reset to factory settings, press and hold the switch on the back of a printer that can be
controlled for more than 10 seconds.
For details on the connection procedure, etc., see the Technical Reference Guide
for the TM-i series.
Turn the TM-i power on.
4
An ethernet cable is used to connect to the router. The TM-i is
also connected to the router.
A USB cable is used to connect to the TM-i.
Check the shape of the USB port on the back of the TM printer to
see what type of USB cable can be used.
Connection method
Settings are started automatically, and the result is printed.
While performing an easy setup, you cannot install the LAN cable wireless set (OTWL01). Install the LAN cable wireless set (OT-WL01) after easy setup is complete.
If you are using a printer that can be controlled (a TM printer connected
5
to a network), print a status sheet for the TM printer.
Confirm that the settings for the TM printer have been changed successfully.
