Chapter 1 Product Overview

Useful Functions for Smart Devices

You can easily connect this product to the network by using the NFC tag built-in to the printer or the QR code printed on the status sheet.

NFC Tag

Bring a smart device that supports NFC close to the NFC tag to acquire the printer information (information for specifying the device).
Specify the target printer using the acquired information to connect to the network.

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).
Specify the target printer using the acquired information to connect to the network.
1
Programming using Epson ePOS SDK is required to use these functions. These functions are
created by combining NFC touch and 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 reading an NFC tag and capturing a QR code.

Notes on Using the Wi-Fi Models

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 influence.
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 printer may cause radio
wave interference.
27

Changing the Paper Width

<Spacer>
The printer is initially set to print on 58 mm {2.28"} width paper. If you use 60 mm {2.36"} width paper, remove the spacer installed in the printer. You can also install it again to use 58 mm width paper.
Do not increase the paper width after you have used a narrower width because if the printer has ever beenused with narrow paper, part of the head contacts the platen. Therefore, when a wider setting is used, part of the head or the cutter blade may be worn out, which can cause poor printing and a blunt cutter blade.
When changing the paper width, be sure to change the setting for the paper width with the customized value. To set the customized value, see
"Software Settings" on page 42.

Removing the Spacer

Follow the steps below to remove the spacer when you use 60 mm width paper.
Make sure that the printer is turned off.

Wireless LAN Interface

Using Epson TM Utility, you can easily connect the printer to the network from an iOS or Android devices. We also recommend connecting using a USB cable from a Windows computer, and setting up the wireless LAN using the network setup tool (EpsonNet Config).
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.
In the infrastructure mode, W53 and W56 channels are not available to connect to a stealth
SSID access point.
For detailed information about EpsonNet Config, see the EpsonNet Config manual (operation
guide) or the EpsonNet Config online help.
If you configure the wireless LAN setting without using EpsonNet Config, use the network
parameters printed on the dynamic status sheet. To print dynamic status sheet, see

Bluetooth Interface

Use a tool, such as a built-in Bluetooth connection tool of your device to establish the connection with the printer. If your device is a Windows computer, use EPSON TM Bluetooth pair a terminal and the printer.
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.

Chapter 4 Application Development Information

Application Development Information

This chapter describes how to control the printer and gives information useful for printer application develop­ment.

Controlling the Printer

The printer supports the following command systems:
ePOS-Print XML (Wi-Fi model only)
ESC/POS
Users can control the printer by using the aforementioned commands, or the following development kits or drivers.
ePOS-Print SDK
OPOS ADK
OPOS ADK for .NET
JavaPOS ADK
EPSON Advanced Printer Driver (APD)

ePOS-Print XML

ePOS-Print XML is the Epson original control command system for POS printers defined in XML. With ePOS­Print XML commands, you can print in environments where http communication is available and from OS applications.
For detailed information about ePOS-Print XML, see the ePOS-Print XML User's Manual.
On this printer, ePOS-Print XML is only supported by a Wi-Fi model.
To use ePOS-Print XML or SDK for JavaScript, set ePOS-Print to Enable in EpsonNet Config (Web Version) beforehand. For details about EpsonNet Config (Web Version), see
"EpsonNet Config (Web Version)" on page 60.

ESC/POS

ESC/POS is the Epson original printer command system for POS printers and customer display. With ESC/POS commands, you can directly control all the TM-P60II printer functions, but detailed knowledge of printer spec­ifications or combination of commands is required, compared to using drivers and applications.
For detailed information about ESC/POS commands, see the ESC/POS Command Reference.

for Android Bluetooth model, Wi-Fi model
for Windows Store Apps Bluetooth model, Wi-Fi model
for JavaScript Wi-Fi model only
Web applications and native applications of smart devices. It includes libraries, manuals, and sample programs.
EPSON OPOS ADK This OCX driver can control POS peripherals using OLE
technology.*1 Because controlling POS peripherals with original commands is not required on the application side, efficient system development is possible.
EPSON OPOS ADK for .NET The OPOS ADK for .NET is a POS industry standard
printer driver compatible with Microsoft POS for .NET.
It allows you to develop applications that are compatible with the UPOS (Unified POS) specification.
When developing applications, use a separate development environment such as Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.
EPSON JavaPOS ADK JavaPOS is the standard specification which defines an
architecture and device interface (API) to access various POS devices from a Java based system. Using JavaPOS standard API allows control with Javabased applications of functions inherent to each device. A flexible design with Java language and JavaPOS enables many different types of computer systems, such as stand alone or network configuration, to use a same application. You can use JavaPOS to build applications and drivers independently of platforms. This allows flexible configurations using thin clients to meet the system requirements.

The maximum printing speed listed above may not be achieved depending on the type of interface, the data transmission speed, and the combination of control commands. Especially, the printing speed may change automatically depending on the communication environment if using a wireless interface.
If the data transmission speed is slower than the maximum printing speed, or depending on the battery depletion and deterioration conditions and environment temperature, the printing speed may fluctuate, and the print result may become shaded and/or dot displacement in paper feeding may occur.
If the data transmission speed is slow, intermittent printing may occur and white lines may be formed when printing graphics. To avoid this, keep the print speed constant by setting it lower. The print speed can be set with the customized value. To set the customized value, see

The values above may vary slightly as a result of paper slack or variations in the paper. Take this into account when setting the cutting position of the auto-cutting.
Paper feeding (approx. 1 mm) is performed automatically before first-time printing after autocutting in order to prevent character deformation. Due to this, be aware that there is approximately a 1 mm space added to the peripheral area 6.4 mm after the autocutting point when continuous printing is performed.

Notes on Wireless LAN Connection
Because not all the combinations of the printer and wireless LAN devices have been checked for operation, the operation of the printer in combination with all the wireless LAN devices is not guaranteed. Especially in the ad-hoc mode, the printer may not operate normally, depending on the combination of the device to connect with. Be sure to carry out evaluation of the operation before use.
Notes on use
When you initialize or change the printer settings, the printer is reset to reflect the settings. It may take about 1 minute depending on the network settings or environment. Also, your application may indicate power off during the time waiting for reset. In that case, wait for about 1 minute, and then reconnect to the printer.
Where wireless LAN communication is in heavy traffic, your application may falsely recognize that the com­munication is disconnected and indicate power off due to response delay. In that case, disable Power Save to improve the trouble.
Notes on using the roaming function
When the roaming function is enabled, if you continue to use the printer in an area where the radio waves for the access point that is connected to are weak, the printer will continue to search for an access point with stron­ger radio waves, thus shortening the battery life.

Auto Reconnect Feature (iOS Bluetooth model)
The auto reconnect feature allows the printer to automatically restore a connection in the following situations if the Bluetooth connection to the iOS device is lost.
When the printer is turned on
When the signal is dropped and then restored
88
Appendix
The following shows the printer operations and connection methods when the auto reconnect feature is enabled or disabled.
Auto Reconnect
Feature
Printer operations when Bluetooth is dis­connected
Reconnecting to iOS device
Switch to connection from other device
Enabled Disabled
Perform the following reconnection sequence.
[Reconnection sequence]
1. The printer tries to connect to the iOS device to which it was last connected.
2. When step 1 fails, the printer waits for con­nections from other devices.
3. If connection is not established in step 2, the printer tries again to connect to the iOS device to which it last connected.
Steps 1 and 2 are repeated until a connec­tion is established.
Reconnect automatically. Make settings on the Bluetooth settings screen
Method 1:
After disabling the Bluetooth feature of the connected iOS device, make connection settings on the Bluetooth device that you want to connect.
(When the auto reconnect feature is enabled, it may take some time to connect.)
Wait for a connection from the Bluetooth device.
on the iOS device.
Method 2:
(Only when the firmware version is 5.14 ESC/POS or later)
After disconnecting from the connected iOS device using applications with the TM Utility or ePOS-Print SDK disconnection feature, make settings on the Bluetooth device you want to connect.
In the following situations, even if the feature is enabled, the same operations are performed as when it is disabled.
- When pairing is canceled from the connected iOS device.
- When the last Bluetooth device connected was not an iOS device.
- When wireless communication settings are initialized from the printer.
Disable this feature when using the printer from devices that are not running iOS. Otherwise, it may take some time to connect.
See
"Wireless module setup mode" on page 53 for settings for the auto reconnect feature.
Notes on use
Time required until printing starts
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.
Timing to shut the connection off
If a connection between the host computer and the printer is shut off while the printer is offline, it may not be re-established. In this case, first clear the printer offline causes, and then try to re-establish the connection.
89
Notes when communicating with Android devices
The printer cannot connect to Android 2.3 and 2.32.
When communicating with Android 2.3.3 or later versions, communicate through an insecure connection.
Notes when communicating with iOS devices
Print data deletion and Bluetooth disconnections occur
Situation
Depending on the specifications of the iOS device, print data sent to the printer may be deleted. When this occurs, the Bluetooth connection between the printer and the iOS device is disconnected.
Conditions
This occurs when the printer is not ready to print, and 64 KB or more of print data is sent to the printer.
<Status in which the printer cannot print>
When the roll paper cover is open
When the paper is out
Solution
Do not send data to the printer if the printer is not ready to print.
For developers using the SDK from Epson, see the SDK's User's Manual - Chapter 3 Programming Guide ­"Printing After Checking the Printer Status".
Since Bluetooth is disconnected when this occurs, if the auto reconnect feature is not enabled, you need to reconnect from the Bluetooth settings screen on the iOS device.
When using the SDK from Epson, this connection process is not necessary.
The iOS application receives the same data from the printer multiple times
Situation
Although the printer only sends data (such as the status) once to the iOS device, the application on the iOS device may receive the data multiple times.
Conditions
If no data is sent between the printer and the iOS device for at least 30 seconds during Bluetooth connection, the iOS device switches to power-saving mode. This problem occurs if the printer sends data to the iOS device while it is in power-saving mode.
The following are examples of when this occurs.
When the printer performs status communication with a command (DLE EOT, GS I, and so on)
When the printer sends an ASB
In the following situations, this does not occur.
When the iOS device sends data to the printer
When data is sent to the iOS device before it switches to power-saving mode (less than approx. 30 seconds)
after the printer has received data from the iOS device
When using the SDK from Epson (however, this may occur when receiving data from a printer using a com­mand transmission/reception API)
90
Appendix
Solution
If no data is sent between the printer and the iOS device for at least 30 seconds, use the following steps to send data.
1) Before sending data, send 100 bytes of dummy data to the printer. As long as it is not related to printing or
commands, anything can be used as the dummy data, however we recommend using 00h.
2) Set a waiting time of 100 milliseconds.
3) Send the data.
The iOS application cannot receive the data sent from the printer
Situation
Although the printer sends data to the iOS device and the data is received by the iOS device, depending on the combination of the iOS version and the iOS device, the iOS application may not be able to receive the data.
Conditions
This may occur in combinations of the following conditions.
iOS version: 7.1, 7.1.1
iOS device: iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPad Air, iPad mini with Retina display, iPad (4th generation),
iPad mini, iPod touch (5th generation), iPhone 4s, iPhone 4, iPad (3rd generation), iPad 2
Printer firmware version: 5.11 ESC/POS or earlier
Application processing: If the Bluetooth port is closed and then reopened while the application is running.
Solution
The solution differs depending on the iOS device being used. See the following table.
iOS Device Solution
iPhone 5s
iPhone 5c
iPhone 5
iPad Air
iPad mini with Retina display
iPad (4th generation)
