Chapter 1 Product Overview

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 for iOS/Android or EpsonNet Config) even without a network environment such as access points.

SimpleAP mode is enabled by default when shipping from the factory. When SimpleAP mode is enabled and the printer is turned on, the following information is printed automatically.

SimpleAP Start

SSID Encryption Type Passphrase

IP Address MAC Address

Although operations are performed in SimpleAP mode during the initial startup, operations switch to standard mode (infrastructure mode) when changing settings in Epson TM-T88VI Utility for Windows or EpsonNet Config. After switching, operations continue in standard mode. If you want to make settings in SimpleAP mode again, initialize the communication settings. (see

* You can also set this to standard mode (Ad-Hoc mode) except for the OT-WL06.

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.

• 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.

• You can try a demo of these functions by using Epson TM Utility for iOS/Android.

Chapter 1 Product Overview

Printing Using 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.

In the status where all receive buffers are empty for more than the set time (1 second by default), interface switching is enabled. The interface that receives the data in this status becomes active.

You cannot use wired and wireless LANs at the same time. When a LAN cable is connected, wireless LAN is disabled.

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 54.

For wall-hanging

For horizontal installation

Below are two situations where a roll paper NE sensor adjustment is required.

• To adjust the detection position to suit the diameter of the roll paper core used.

• To adjust the detection position of remaining amount of paper.

• Since roll paper cores vary slightly in shape, depending on paper roll design and manufacturing

tolerances, it is impossible to detect the remaining paper exactly.

• Use roll paper with a core inner diameter of 12 mm {0.47"} and outer diameter of 18 mm {0.71"} so that the NE sensor can detect the remaining paper as accurately as possible.

Follow the steps below to adjust the roll paper near-end detector.

Open the roll paper cover, and remove the roll paper.

Loosen the adjustment screw fastening the sensor, and align the upper edge of the

positioning plate with the adjustment position.

F5041(55), F5041(48), P30521, P30523, P31523, P35524 105% 13 (300 mm/sec)

• When the print density level is increased, print speed may be reduced. When printing at a density of 115% or more and below a room temperature of 15°C, the speed drops to less than 200 mm/sec.

• When setting the print speed to level 14, use customized values to set the print density.

Print speed

Selectable from levels 1 to 14 (Slow ~ Fast)

Default setting: level 13 or 14 (depends on the printer's specification)

• Print speed is restricted by the settings for the number of head electrification divisions. The maximum printing speed of 350 mm/s is only possible when 1 electrification division is selected.

• The maximum printing speed when using 58 mm is 300 mm/s.

Depending on print conditions, such as print duty, print head temperature, and data transmission speed, print speed is automatically adjusted, which may cause white lines due to intermittent print (the motor sometimes stops). To avoid this, keep the print speed constant by setting it lower.

If the printer is still set to factory defaults, the printer's MAC address is listed up, even if the computer does not have the same network address.

• The initial setting uses an IP address for the printer provided by a DHCP server. Since you cannot complete setup if there are conflicting IP addresses on the network, make sure that there are no other devices on the network that conflict with the IP address provided by the DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not available, a fixed IP address (192.168.192.168) is set approximately one minute after turning on the printer. Also, if the Ethernet cable is not connected, connect the Ethernet cable and then run this process.

• When DHCP is enabled, the provided IP address is printed automatically. However, if the Ethernet cable is not connected, and the Wireless LAN unit is not installed, printing is not performed.

Connect the printer to the same network as the computer where you installed Epson-

Net Config.

Start up EpsonNet Config.

Print data

Spooler and Print Forwarding

Spooler

A spooler for saving print data and conducting background printing is implemented in the TM-Intelligent software. Even in systems where multiple print jobs are concentrated, an application system can be configured where response is not impeded.

General printing applications finish transactions upon confirming the printing. Due to such waiting, response times deteriorate in systems where multiple print jobs are concentrated. The spooler application stores print data and immediately returns the printing results to the application. This allows the application to proceed to the next operation without waiting for the current printing job to be completed.

Processing Flow using the Spooler Function

Devices A to C request printing of data A to C almost simultaneously.

The TM-Intelligent software saves the print data in the spooler in the order it receives

it, and returns the printing results (JobID, printing result = true) to each device.

Each device application completes the printing process and executes the next opera-

tion.

This product successively prints print data A to C.

The TM-Intelligent software saves the printing results (JobID, printing result = true)

in the log.

• If the printer cannot print because it is offline or there is an error, print data cannot be printed even if spooled. Since printing results are logged, they can be confirmed from the application. For the confirmation method, see "Checking the print results" on page 84

• When power to this product is turned off, the spooler saved fields are erased.

• If the print data exceeds the remaining capacity of the spooler and cannot be spooled, the

print data is erased. Concerning the spooler capacity, see

Print Forwarding

Print forwarding, which enables printing to be performed from a different printer if it cannot be performed on another one is implemented in the TM-Intelligent software. You can configure a secure system that enables printing to be performed on a separate printer even if one printer cannot be used. All you need to do is specify the forwarded printer in the case where printing cannot be performed to the TM-T88VI Utility for Windows or the EpsonNet Config (Web version). There is no need to resend print data.

Complicated processing is required in order to implement a function by a general application for printing from a separate printer when a printer cannot be printed. By using print forwarding, since the TM-Intelligent software automatically conducts print forwarding, the printing process on the customer's application can be simplified.

Processing Flow using the Spooler Function

The device application sends the print data to the TM-Intelligent software.

The TM-Intelligent software tries to conduct printing process on printer A but cannot

because the printer is offline. The TM-Intelligent software retries the number of times that is set in the spooler function.

The TM-Intelligent software prints with printer B.

• If a printer that is set as a forwarding source or forwarding destination cannot print because it

is offline or because of an error, printing is not performed even if print forwarding is set. The printing results are logged and can be confirmed from the application. For the confirmation method, see

• When power to this product is turned off, the print forwarding data is erased. The print for-

warding settings are not erased.

• If the print data exceeds the remaining capacity of the spooler and cannot be spooled, the

print data is erased. Concerning the spooler capacity, see

Checking the print results

When the spooler is disabled

After printing, the job ID and print results are returned to the application. Also, when printing cannot be performed, the job ID, print results, and error code are returned.

When the spooler is enabled

• When print data cannot be spooled: [JobID, Print result = false, Error code = EX_SPOOLER (spooler stopped)] is returned to the application.

• When print data can be spooled: After spooling the print data, [JobID, Print result = true] is returned to the application. Printing is not performed at this point. Make an inquiry from the application to this product to confirm if printing was performed.

Checking the print results from the application

If inquired of print result from the application, the product returns the following information.

• Printing succeeded: [JobID, Print results = true]

• Printing succeeded: [JobID, Print result = false, Error code = Printer status]

• Printing or print forwarding: [JobID, Print result = false, Error code = Printing]

• When this product is turned off, data in the spooler and the log storage area is cleared. For

detail, see "Product Specifications" on page 121

• When printing cannot be performed with this products spooler or print forwarding, the print data is cleared. If printing has not been completed when checking in the application, we recommend reprinting.

Chapter 3 Advanced Usage

Server Direct Print

Server Direct Print is implemented in the TM-Intelligent software. The function allows the TM-Intelligent software to issue printing requests to Web server applications, conduct printing upon directly acquiring print data from the Web server, and notify the printing results to applications.

General printing system applications perform printing upon designating the printer. A function for including ePOS-Print XML print data in response to printing requests can be implemented in server direct print applications. Since the printer IP address is not specified from the application, printing can be performed via the internet even in environments where printing is difficult because the IP address cannot be acquired on the Web server side or the device cannot be controlled via the internet due to security policy settings.

Because the Web server application only includes print data in the response, printing can be performed without designating the printer.

Processing Flow Using the Server Direct Print Function

The TM-Intelligent software issues a print request to the Web server application.

The Web server application sends a response that includes print data to the TM-Intel-

ligent software.

The TM-Intelligent software sends print data to the printer and performs printing.
