The influence on the environment of radio wave radiation

❏ The Radio Frequency module that can be installed in this product radiates the same high

frequency energy as some other high frequency devices but the level of the energy radiated from it is suppressed so that it is much lower than the electromagnetic energy radiated from radio equipment like cell phones.

❏ Under some situations and in certain environments, the use of this equipment is sometimes

limited by the owner of the building or a representative with responsibility for the group. For example, it may be restricted in the following case:

• Use in an environment where it may cause interference with other devices and services.

❏ If you do not understand the radio device usage policy in a specific group or environment,

such as an airport, ask permission before turning on the power of this product.

Note about interference

❏ The Radio Frequency module that can be installed in this product generates, uses, and can

radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

❏ If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can

be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult your dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

❏ Never disassemble or modify this product or the installed Radio Frequency module.

❏ Seiko Epson Corporation shall not be liable for interference to radio/TV resulting from

changes or modifications to this product or the installed Radio Frequency module not expressly approved by Seiko Epson Corporation.

❏ Other radio equipment sometimes uses the same frequency band that this unit uses. To

prevent radio wave interference with other radio equipment, pay attention to the following matters when you use this product:

• The Radio Frequency module that can be installed in this product uses the Industrial Scientific and Medical band (2.4 GHz), DS-SS modulation, and the interference distance is 40 m.

ii Rev. D

TM-P60 Technical Reference Guide

• Other equipment that uses the same frequency band used by the Radio Frequency module that can be installed in this product includes equipment for industry, science and medical treatment, microwave ovens, HomeRF, and radio and other broadcasting equipment (both ones that require a license and ones that do not require a license).

• Confirm that radio and other broadcasting equipment are not used nearby before using this product.

• When trouble occurs, for example, if the Radio Frequency module causes problems such as radio wave interference, consult your dealer.

Note about security

This section describes security concerns when using a wireless LAN by using the Radio Frequency module that can be installed in this product. Please also see “Wireless LAN Security” in Appendix F.

Security is important for the protection of the user’s privacy

A wireless LAN has the advantage that information can be exchanged by using radio waves instead of a cable. However, radio waves are not confined to a cable and can be received in a fairly wide area and through obstacles such as walls, so if security is not used, the following problems may occur.

❏ Communication data can be received by stealth.

A third person can receive private communication data by intercepting the radio waves intentionally. Such a person could receive items such as the following:

• Personal information, such a an ID and password or credit card number

• The contents of e-mail.

• Data which is communicated between the PC and printer.

❏ Illegal access

A third person can access the network and cause damage such as the following:

• Personal information and secret information can be removed.

• Invalid information can be sent as if it were from a legitimate user of the network.

• Intercepted communication contents can be re-written and sent.

• Data and the system can be destroyed by an electronic virus.

This product, the wireless LAN card, and the access point have security mechanisms to counter these problems. If you use the security settings for this product, you can nearly eliminate these problems.

In some cases, the wireless LAN equipment is not set up before it is sold to the user. Therefore, to attempt to prevent security problems, always use all the security settings for the wireless LAN equipment according to the manual.

Rev. D iii

The security functions, however, cannot guarantee 100% security. Please understand this when you use this product.

When you cannot set the security by yourself, please ask your dealer.

Seiko Epson Corporation suggests that the security setting is set by the judgment and the responsibility of user after understanding the possible problems resulting from using this product without the security settings.

For details, see “Wireless LAN Security” in Appendix F.

Canada

This device conforms to IC, Low Power License-Exempt Radio Communication Devices (RSS-210). The information such as Certification No., Model Name, and Manufacturer Name are described on the surface of the module.

SAR

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The TM-P60 has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. The maximum SAR value tested for the TM-P60 has been shown to be 0.144W/kg at the body.

2.5.3 Memory Switches

This printer has a set of software switches called “Memory switches“ . The memory switch set has “Msw 8,” “Customize value,” “Serial communication condition.”

The “Memory switch setting utility” can change the Memory switch set to ON or OFF as shown in the table below:

Note:

When you use this printer with RS-232C interface, you should adjust the “serial communication setting“ (see the table “ Serial communication” (page 2-12).)

The Memory switch can be changed by either one of two methods:

• Memory switch setting utility

• Control by an ESC/POS command

Settings of the memory switch are stored in the NV memory; therefore, even if the printer is turned off, the settings are maintained. Excessive use of this function may destroy the NV memory. As a guideline, do not use this function more than 10 times a day.

When you use OPOS or APD, generally you don’t need to adjust memory switch because OPOS or APD are able to set these items automatically.

3.5 To Confirm the Current Setting of the Printer

This printer has two functions to confirm the current setting of the printer.

❏ Self test mode

This mode prints all settings of the printer and a character printing test on roll paper. (Ex: serial communication condition, wireless LAN setting, memory switch setting, etc...)

❏ Status sheet printing

TM-P60 Technical Reference Guide

This prints wireless LAN settings on roll paper.

3.5.1 Self test mode

The self test lets you know if your printer is operating properly. It checks the control circuits, printer mechanisms, print quality, control software version, and DIP switch settings.

This test is independent of any other equipment or software, so it is a good idea that run it when you first set up the printer and if you have any trouble. If the self test works correctly, the problem is in the other equipment or the software, not the printer.

1. Make sure the printer is turned off and the roll paper cover is closed properly.

1. While holding down the FEED button, turn on the printer using the switch on the front of the

printer. The self test prints the printer settings and then prints the following, cuts the paper, and pauses.

If you want to continue SELF-TEST printing, please press

FEED button.

1. Press the FEED button to continue printing. The printer prints a pattern using the built-in

character set.

Note:

If you would like to finish the test printing, turn off the power.

2. The self test automatically ends and cuts the paper after printing the following:

*** completed ***

Rev. D Troubleshooting 3-3

The printer is ready to receive data as soon as it completes the self test.

Application Development Information

This section contains usable information to develop POS systems that use this printer.

4.1 About wireless communication

4.1.1 For Application developing

The TM-P60 uses wireless comunication technology; therefore temporary communication breaks may occur when you move or are in an outside environment. When you develop application software using wireless communication, you should consider this.

We recommend you confirm whether or not the printer printed after every print data transmission unit. Detection of communication errors and recovering from such errors are also important. Data communication without confirmation of printing and detetection of communication errors may cause data loss.

To ensure heghly reliable data communication, we recommend the use of the status confirmation function of our genuine OPOS, or Windows Printer Driver (APD).

4.1.2 For Radio field intensity

Wireless communication is related to radio field intensity. The TM-P60 has a function,“Radio Field Intensity Check Mode” (page 3-5), to confirm the current radio field intensity. This mode shows the current radio field intensity to the operator.

The function can’t be executed from any drivers (OPOS, Advanced Printer Driver) or ESC/POS commands.

The statuses are useful for the following situations.

❏ When an error status is sent to the host PC, the host PC can display an error message or

solution message for operator (with beeping).

❏ When “Paper end“ status is sent to the host PC, the host PC can display a message for the

operator to replace roll paper (with beeping).

4.4.1 Printer Status on APD

When you use APD to get printer’s status, you have to install “Status API“ and use it. Refer to “Status API User’s Manual“ and the sample program of Status API for details.

4.4.2 OPOS

Note

This section describes the summary of status handling. Refer to “OPOS ADK Application Development Guide General Functions” for details.

4.4.2.1 Checking the printer state

The state of the printer can be checked through properties supported by the printer. For example, if the user wants to check if the printer cover is open, the CoverOpen property can be used.

If OPOSPOSPrinter1.CoverOpen = True Then

MsgBox “Cover is open!”

End If

This and many other events can also be checked by firing a StatusUpdateEvent.

[Event management]

Private Sub OPOSPOSPrinter1_StatusUpdateEvent(ByVal Data As Long)

If Data = PTR_SUE_COVER_OPEN Then

MsgBox “Cover is open!”

End If

End Sub

StatusUpdateEvent can return information on the following items.

STATUS INFORMATION

PTR_SUE_COVER_OPEN Cover is open.

Rev. D Application Development Information 4-5

PTR_SUE_COVER_OK Cover is closed.

PTR_SUE_REC_EMPTY Receipt paper is out.

PTR_SUE_REC_PAPEROK Receipt paper is OK.

PTR_SUE_IDLE Printer State is idle.

When the FlagWhenIdle property is set to TRUE, PTR_SUE_IDLE is sent to inform the application that the printer is idle. Other than when data is being sent, the printer is in an idle state, so if FlagWhenIdle is TRUE, an event will be fired when printing is finished. After the event is fired, FlagWhenIdle will be set to FALSE. By using this value, the information below can be found out.

*Finding out when multiple asynchronous print jobs have finished printing. When multiple asynchronous print jobs have been sent to the printer, it is possible to know when they have finished printing. After setting the AsyncMode property to TRUE and running the PrintNormal method, change the FlagWhenIdle property to TRUE. When all data has finished printing, the printer becomes idle and a StatusUpdateEvent is fired to the application with the value of PTR_SUE_IDLE.

4.4.2.2 Printer Errors and Status

A change in printer status when asynchronous data is being sent is made available to the program by the firing of an ErrorEvent and StatusUpdateEvent. When the printer changes status while nothing is happening, the change is told to the program by a StatusUpdateEvent only.

As an example, assume that the printer cover becomes open. Usually, when data is not being sent to the printer and the cover is opened, a StatusUpdateEvent is fired to the application. After the AsyncMode property is set to TRUE and a method is used to print data, if the cover is opened while the data is being sent, the program is notified by an ErrorEvent. ErrorEvents are fired when the error has interrupted the data that is being sent. Only StatusUpdateEvent will fire when the error does not effect the data and the data will continue being sent as normal.

Reasons for the ErrorEvent being fired and the corresponding error names are listed below.

ResultCode/ ResultCodeExtended Reason

OPOS_E_ILLEGAL There is an abnormality with the device. (Includes the

following 1 error)

OPOS_E_EXTENDED Error determined by the device’s SO (Includes the

following 4 errors)

OPOS_EPTR_COVER_OPEN Cover is open.

OPOS_EPTR_REC_EMPTY Receipt paper is empty.

OPOS_E_FAILURE Hard error (Includes the following 6 errors).

OPOS_EPTR_UNRECOVERABLE Error that cannot be recovered from.

OPOS_EPTR_CUTTER Error with the auto cutter.

OPOS_EPTR_MECHANICAL Mechanical error.

OPOS_EX_DEVBUSY Device busy error.

OPOS_EPTR_REC_CARTRIDGE_REMOVED Receipt cartridge is removed.

OPOS_EPTR_REC_CARTRIDGE_EMPTY Receipt cartridge is empty.

OPOS_EPTR_REC_HEAD_CLEANING Receipt head starts cleaning.

After an error occurs, more detailed information about the error can be obtained from the ErrorLevel, ErrorStation, and ErrorString properties.

4.4.2.3 ESC/POS commands

When you use ESC/POS commands to control the printer, you can get the status by using “status command” including Auto Status Back command (ASB.) Please refer to “ESC/POS APG.”

4.5 NV memory

This printer has NV memory (Non-volatile). The data of NV memory remains after you turn off the power. The NV memory is available in two ways.

1. NV Graphics

Please refer “NV Graphics Printing” (page 4-8) for details of the function.

2. User NV memory

There is free area in the NV memory that the user can use. You can use this free area for notations, to write other character information, or for many other purposes. The data remains after you turn off the power. Use ESC/POS commands to read and write this data. The following are examples of purposes.

• Date of the printer for maintenance

• ID definition for developer or POS system

Note

When you use User NV memory area by using OPOS or APD, you have to use “Direct I/O method” or “Control A font.” Please contact EPSON or your dealer for details.

Note the following when writing to and erasing NV memory.

❏ The following restrictions apply when performing NV memory operations (including data

writing and erasing).

•The paper FEED button must not be used to feed paper.

• The real-time command must not be executed.

Rev. D Application Development Information 4-7

• The ASB status will not be sent, even when the ASB function is set to enabled.

❏ The printer sometimes enters the Busy state while data is written to NV memory. It is

important not to send data from the host computer while the printer is in the Busy state, as it will be incapable of processing any received data.

❏ Frequent use of the functions for writing to and erasing data from NV memory can damage

the memory. As a rule in using the various commands, avoid writing to NV memory more than 10 times per day.

4.6 NV Graphics Printing

This printer has an “NV Bit-Graphics“ Function. This function provides printing Graphics (e.g. a shop logo.) This function is available for any control method (APD, OPOS, ESC/POS command.)

EPSON provides a utility, “TMFLogo,” that enables registration of a bitmap image in the NV memory of an EPSON TM series printer. The bitmap image in the NV memory can be printed with the printer by using each control method.

Printable Size Printing method

Graphics

<width> Paper width, or less than paper width.

<height> 1200dot (normal mode) 2400dot (double-height mode)

Store Store NV Graphics to NV memory by TMFLogo utility in device specific settings on the SetupPOS utility. If you store the bitmap in NVRAM, it is not necessary to restore it unless the NV memory is deleted.

Print Depends on each control method.

Note

NV graphics data shares the domain used by user NV memory record data; therefore, the entire capacity of the domain to which NV graphics data and user NV memory data are defined is targeted. The TM-P60’s entire capacity is 384 KB.

Example: The NV memory can store 64 items graphics data when the file size of a graphic is 6 KB.

4.6.1 Advanced Printer Driver

4.6.1.1 How to print “NV Graphics“

APD prints a stored “NV Graphics“ by using “Control font.“ See the User’s Manual of the Advanced Printer Driver for details.

4.6.1.2 Printable bitmap format in APD

The printable bitmap formats are formats that meet all the following condition.

❏ When using “NV Graphics“

• Depends on the TM Flogo utility. (.BMP format)

4-8 Application Development Information Rev. D

TM-P60 Technical Reference Guide

4.6.2 OPOS

EPSON OPOS ADK provides a tool, “TMFLogo” that enables registration of a bitmap image in the NVRAM of an EPSON TM series printer. The tool can be used from the device specific settings of the SetupPOS utility. The bitmap image in the NVRAM can be printed with a printer by using the DirectIO method. Concerning the available NVRAM size for the TM-U220, refer to the ADG for TM-U220 in the OPOS ADK.

4.6.2.1 Printing method

Print stored bitmap by DirectIO method.

• *Command : PTR_DI_PRINT_FLASH_BITMAP

Note

4.6.2.2 LetterQuality

It is possible to change the speed and quality of a bitmap by using the XXXLetterQuality property.

RecLetterQuality = TRUE ‘print Receipt’s bitmap in quality mode. RecLetterQuality = FALSE ‘print Receipt’s bitmap in speed mode.

4.6.2.3 Setting of printing position by escape sequence

POS Printers support escape sequences that can be treated as printing data. The following commands are the escape sequence command for setting of printing position.

Name Data Remarks

Center ESC |cA Aligns following text in the center.

Right justify ESC |rA Aligns following text at the right.

Normal ESC |N Restores printer characteristics to

normal condition.

Note1: manner of ”ESC |cA” and “ESC |rA”

Characteristics are reset at the end of each print method or by a “Normal” sequence, so these escape sequences cannot be used in the following manner.

OPOSPOSPrinter1.PrintNormal PTR_S_RECEIPT, Chr(&H1B) + ”|cA” + ”123” OPOSPOSPrinter1.PrintNormal PTR_S_RECEIPT, “456” + Chr(13) + Chr(10)

The “123” characters will be printed in the center, but not under “456”. When using a new method to print characters, it is necessary to add the desired escape sequence again.

Rev. D Application Development Information 4-9

Note2 : limitation of ”ESC |cA” and “ESC |rA”

*During rotated printing mode (Left90, right90), these escape sequences will not work. *These will not work if they are not the first character of a line. *It is not possible to use these on PrintBitmap method.

4.6.2.4 Printable bitmap format in OPOS

The printable bitmap formats are formats that meet all the following conditions.

❏ BMP files

❏ Monochrome, 16-color (4 bit), 256-color (8 bit)

❏ Uncompressed

4.6.3 ESC/POS command

See “ESC/POS Application Programming Guide“ about the method.

4.6.4 Tips for Visual Basic

When programming with Visual Basic, limitations prevent data from 81h through 9Fh and from E0h through FEh from being sent as characters. Therefore, you may be not able to print a part of Page 0 (for example )in Visual Basic.

However, you can use the following procedure to send this data.

Dim Send_ data(0) As Byte Send_data(0) = &h81 ’1 byte of sending data MSComm1.Output = Send_data

Rev. D Wireless LAN Setup Detailed Information B-9

3. Click the printer for which you want to set the IP address, and then click the Configuration button. (You might have to wait for 10 seconds or more to view the TM-P60 over the network on your screen.)

Note:

If you have connected more than one printer to the network and do not know for which printer you want to set the IP address, you can check the printer by finding out the MAC address of the TM-P60. The MAC address can be found on the status sheet. For printing the status sheet, refer to “Status sheet printing” on page 3-4.

B-10 Wireless LAN Setup Detailed Information Rev. D

TM-P60 Technical Reference Guide

4. Click the TCP/IP tab. Under Method for specifying the IP address, select one of the following: Automatic, or Manual.

Note:

To use “Method for specifying the IP address: Auto,” a server for DHCP is necessary. If there is no corresponding server, do not use these settings. See your network operating system documentation for the settings.

When “Method for specifying the IP address: Auto” is specified when there is no DHCP server, the TMP60 gets the IP address by APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) method. In this case, the TM-P60 requires about 1 minitue to get the IPaddress after the power is turned on.

The default setting is as follows.

Method for specifying the IP address: “Manual.“ IP Address: 192.168.192.168

Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0

5. Assign the IP address, the Subnet mask, and the Default gateway. If you use DHCP to acquire an IP address, you cannot assign these items. Ask your administrator for the IP address and the Default gateway to be set.

Rev. D Wireless LAN Setup Detailed Information B-11

Note:

If a server or router acts as a gateway, type the gateway address.

When you select the “Automatic method,“ the IP address is disabled to enter, and subnet mask, and default gateway settings are ignored.

CAUTION:

Be sure that the Set using PING box is turned on if a setting by PING or ARP command is permitted.

6. Click the OK button.

7. Click the OK button again to be sure.

8. Enter the password set in the print server; then click OK. If the password is not set, just click OK without entering a password.

Note:

For information on the password function, see “password” on page B-28.

CAUTION:

After clicking OK, you must not turn off the printer while the new settings are being sent to the TM-P60.
