Error Status
There are three possible error types: automatically recoverable errors, recoverable errors, and unrecoverable
errors.
Automatically Recoverable Errors
• Head temperature errorThe printer recovers from the error when the head tem-
perature drops.
• Cover open error (in the middle of printing)The printer recovers from the error when the roll paper
cover is closed.
• TM-Intelligent function errorThe printer recovers from the error when the printer set-
tings are corrected.
24
Chapter 1 Product Overview
Recoverable Errors
• Autocutter errorAn error occurs if the cutter is locked due to fallen foreign material or
similar cause. Although automatic recovery is performed even if there
is only slight locking, if automatic recovery is not performed, remove
foreign material and paper jams, and close the roll paper cover to perform recovery.
Instead of closing the roll paper cover, you can make the printer recover from the error using a
dedicated command, however, doing so will cause the printer to go offline due to a cover open
error.
Unrecoverable Errors
• These include a high voltage error, CPU execution error, and communication unit error. If the error persists
after turning the printer off and then on again, the printer may be defective. Contact qualified service personnel.
Turn off the power immediately when an unrecoverable error occurs.

Simple Setup for Wireless LAN
This printer comes with a mode (SimpleAP) that allows printers to connect with a smart device or a computer
without requiring a wireless access point. This allows you to easily setup a wireless LAN for the printer by using
a printer settings tool (Epson TM Utility, EpsonNet Config, or EpsonNet Config (Web version)) even without a
network environment such as access points.
When the wireless LAN settings of the printer have not been changed from the factory default, and the printer is
turned on, the printer automatically enters the Simple AP mode and prints the following information. If you
have changed the wireless LAN settings from the factory default, start the printer according to the settings to
connect the printer to an access point.

Chapter 1 Product Overview
Useful Functions for Smart Devices
You can easily connect this product to the network by using the QR code printed on the status sheet.
QR Code
Capture the QR code printed on the status sheet with the camera on your smart device to acquire the printer
information (information for specifying the device).
By using the acquired information, the device can specify the printer to send a print job over a network or
Bluetooth.
• Programming using Epson ePOS SDK is required to use these functions. These functions are
created by combining QR code capturing operations and the target printer specifications using
Printer Easy Select API.
See the "Epson ePOS SDK for Android/iOS User's Manual" and the Epson ePOS SDK sample
program for more details. The sample program also contains a sample implementation method for
capturing a QR code.
• You can try a demo of these functions by using Epson TM Utility for iOS/Android.
29
Chapter 1 Product Overview
Printing Using Multiple Interfaces
In models with multiple interfaces, you can use all interfaces without any limitations on which interface is to be
used. You can use this function to temporarily connect a smart device to a nearby printer and print.
The printer provides each interface with an independent receive buffer and switches the active interface
depending on the priority, while handling data in each receive buffer.
You can set one interface for the main connection. Data received from the main connection interface is handled
with the highest priority.
By default, the interface that receives the first data transfer is set as the main connection interface; however, you
can select the main connection interface in advance.
When the receive buffer for the active interface becomes empty and a preset time period (one second by default)
has passed, switching to another interface is enabled, and an interface that receives print data becomes active.
When you do not use the Bluetooth function, set the Bluetooth security level to "Middle" or "High"
to prevent unauthorized access to the printer over Bluetooth. You can change the security level by
using Epson TM Utility, TM-m30II Utility, or in the Interface Setup mode.
You can select the main connection interface and set the time to enable interface switching from
the software settings. For details on software settings, see "Software Settings" on page 91.

Connecting the Printer to the Host Devices
USB Interface
When using USB cable to connect with host device, connect the USB cable to the printer, and after starting the
host device, turn the printer on.
Do not place any weight or stress on the cable when using. Doing so could damage the cable and
connectors.
Ethernet Interface
Use ethernet cable to connect the printer to network via a hub.
Use EpsonNet Config, EpsonNet Config (Web version), or arp/ping commands to set network.
For information on setting up network, see
"Network Settings" on page 101.
Wireless LAN Interface (When using OT-WL02 or OT-WL06)
Using Epson TM Utility, you can easily connect the printer to the network from an iOS or Android devices. We
also recommend connecting the SimpleAP from a Windows computer, and setting up the Wireless LAN using
the network setup tool (EpsonNet Config or EpsonNet Config (Web version)).
• When using wireless LAN, make sure you disconnect the LAN cable. If a LAN cable is connected,
wireless LAN is disabled.
• OT-WL02 can be used if the firmware version of the printer is 3.03A ESC/POS or later. You can
perform a firmware update by using the TM-m30II Firmware Updater if using a Windows computer,
or by using the Epson TM Utility if using a smart device. For details, see
• When you set up the access point at the same time, set the access point in advance and check that
it operates correctly.
• Examine the radio wave situation in the surrounding area before use.
•
Avoid using the same channel that is used in the neighboring shops where Wireless LAN is used.
• When using the printer in environments where kitchen microwaves and other devices that may
interfere radio waves are installed, observe the following points.
* Keep the printer away from the devices, such as kitchen microwaves, that may cause radio wave
interference.
* Use channels that are away from the frequency bands that may cause radio wave interference.
* Place shields between the printer and the devices that may cause radio wave interference.
* Select either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, whichever is free from radio wave interference.
* In auto channel setting for the access point, do not select a channel in which the devices may
cause radio wave interference.

Bluetooth Interface
Pair the printer with your device using the Bluetooth function of the device or using other methods.
Pairing the printer is also possible by using EPSON TM Bluetooth® Connector (Windows) or Epson TM Utility
(iOS or Android).
• If the host computer and the printer are not connected on a continuous basis but rather connected
every time the printer starts printing, some time may be needed for the printer to actually start
printing after the host computer commands printing. This pause is the time required for
processing the connection between the host computer and the printer, and it depends on the
conditions of the environment where used.
• If data transfer from an application of the host computer has already been completed, data might
remain in the Bluetooth module internal buffer. As such data remaining in the buffer might be lost
when the connection is cut off, use the status or similar functions to check that transmitted data
has been completely printed before cutting off the wireless connection.
