1: Only the printers that are equipped with a roll paper near-end detector. To detect this status (remaining amount of roll paper is low), enable the “Roll paper near-end detection” function. For more details, see “Software Settings” on page 47. This function can be used only with a 80-mm width roll paper and only when the printer has been set up to eject printed paper from the front side. For more details about the restrictions, see “Enabling the Roll Paper Near-End Detection” on page 46. 2: The Error LED flashing pattern is: lighting for 160 ms followed by a pause for 2400 ms.

Error Status
There are three possible error types: automatically recoverable errors, recoverable errors, and unrecoverable errors.

Automatically Recoverable Errors
· Head temperature error
· Cover open error (in the middle of printing)

The printer recovers from the error when the head temperature drops.
The printer recovers from the error when the roll paper cover is closed.

20

Chapter 1 Product Overview

Recoverable Errors
· Autocutter error

An 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.

21

Chapter 1 Product Overview
NV Memory (Non-Volatile Memory)
The printer’s NV memory stores data even after the printer power is turned off. NV memory contains the following memory areas for the user: · NV graphics memory · User NV memory · Memory switches (customized values) · R/E (Receipt Enhancement) · Maintenance counter
As a guide, NV memory rewriting should be used 10 times or less a day when you program applications.
NV Graphics Memory
Graphics, such as shop logos to be printed on receipts, can be registered. To register your graphics data, use TM-m30II Utility or ESC/POS commands. You can check registered graphics data using TM-m30II Utility or by printing the data in the NV graphics information print mode.
User NV Memory
You can store and read text data for multiple purposes, such as for storing a note including customizing or maintenance information of the printer.
Memory Switches (customized values)
With the memory switches, which are software switches for the printer, you can configure various settings of the printer. For information about the memory switch, see “Software Settings” on page 47.
R/E (Receipt Enhancement)
You can set the graphics data, such as a shop logo, registered in the NV graphics memory to be printed on the top of each receipt or to be printed on the bottom of each receipt just before the paper is cut. To make the settings, use TM-m30II Utility or ESC/POS commands. You can check the settings using TM- m30II Utility or by printing the settings information in the Receipt enhancement information print mode.
22

Chapter 1 Product Overview
Maintenance Counter
With this function, printer information, such as the number of lines printed, the number of autocuts, and printer operation time after the printer starts working, is automatically stored in printer’s memory. You can read the counter information to use it for periodical checks or part replacement.
· You can also check the head running length and number of times of autocutting with the selftest (see “Self-test Mode” on page 63).
· The maintenance counter values are automatically saved in the NV memory usually every two minutes (up to four minutes). However, the values are not saved when the printer is in powersaving mode or when it is turned off without the use of the power switch.
23

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, 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 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). By using the acquired information, the device can specify the printer to send a print job over a network or Bluetooth.
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 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.
25

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 47.

Network Settings
The following explains the procedure for network settings in order to connect the product to your network.

Setup methods
There are three methods for set up.
Method 1: Setup using EpsonNet Config
This method involves installing the network configuration tool, EpsonNet Config, on your computer for setting. As it does not require any settings in advance to allow set up, you can easily perform set up using a computer already connected to the network. Download EpsonNet Config from the Epson website.
Method 2: Setup using EpsonNet Config (Web version)
This method involves opening the Web application equipped in the printer from a Web browser to perform settings. Because you specify the printer’s IP address to open it, you need to set your computer to the same network segment as the printer. With EpsonNet Config (Web version), you can set more items than with EpsonNet Config.
Method 3: Setup using arp/ping commands
This method involves setting the printer’s IP address in the setting computer’s arp/ping commands, then using the setting tool to change the other settings. The setting computer must be in the same segment as the printer. Also, settings can be done only when the printer’s arp+ping IP setting is set to Enable. Use EpsonNet Config or EpsonNet Config (Web version) for settings other than the IP address.

EPSON OPOS ADK for .NET
EPSON JavaPOS ADK
Epson TM Print Assistant for Android for iOS

Description
This is a developer kit to control applications, native applications for smart devices, and printers. This includes libraries, manuals, and sample programs.
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.
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.
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 Java based 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.
A native application that relays print data between an application and the TM printer. Epson TM Print Assistant allows you to develop a system that enables printing from a Web application or a URL-scheme capable application such as FileMaker, on a smart device connected to the TM printer.

1: OLE technology developed by Microsoft divides software into part blocks. The OPOS driver is presupposed to be used with a development environment, such as Visual Basic, unlike ordinary Windows printer drivers. It is not a driver to be used for printing from commercial applications. You can acquire documents regarding the UnifiedPOS from the following link. https://www.omg.org/retail/unified-pos.htm

It is recommended to clean the thermal head periodically (generally every 3 months) to maintain receipt print quality. Depending on the roll paper used, paper dust may stick to the platen roller and the paper may not be fed correctly. To remove the paper dust, clean the platen roller.

Turn off the printer, open the roll paper cover, and clean the thermal elements of the thermal head/platen roller with a cotton swab moistened with an alcohol solvent (ethanol or IPA).

CAUTION

· After printing, the thermal head and its surroundings can be very hot. Do not touch it and let it cool before you clean it.
· Do not damage the thermal head by touching it with your fingers or any hard object.

· Paper must not be pasted to the roll paper core. · To keep the print quality, it is recommended to change the print densities for each roll paper.
See “Software Settings” on page 47. · Use of thermal paper with a pre-printed recording surface should be avoided. Using it can cause
the thermal head to stick to the thermal paper surface during printing, and cause printing failure and other problems. The pre-printing also can result in reduced print density. Using thermal paper with a pre-printed recording surface, pre-printing should be done in accordance with the conditions (ink type, printing and other conditions) recommended by the paper manufacturer, and the thermal paper should be checked to ensure that there is no faulty printing, loss of print density, or other problems.

· 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 autocutter.
· When removing cut paper, the remaining roll paper is pulled at the uncut section and the pitch of the next print may be reduced. When printing after cutting paper for prints with no pitch reduction, feed the paper about 1 mm {16/406 inches} before printing. When the Pre-feed before next print function is enabled, this operation is performed automatically. See”Software Settings” on page 47 for more details.
