Maximum Number of Printers Connectable
| OPOS/JPOS | 10 units |
|---|---|
| APD | 8 units |
| Other drivers, tools | 8 units |
Combination to enable power saving
USB power saving function of the printer becomes effective under the
following combination.
-
The application doesn’t access the device.
OS : Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2/ Windows Server 2003 Printer: TM-T88IV 10.00 ESC/POS -
The application accesses the device by using OPOS.
OS : Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2/ Windows Server 2003 Printer: TM-T88IV 10.01 ESC/POS or later / TM-T70 1.00 ESC/POS or later.-
When you connect the printer by using USB 2.0 HUB, please connect it directly with PC so that the power saving function becomes effective.
-
When you connect the printer by using USB 1.0/1.1 HUB, please connect it directly with PC because it is likely not to operate normally depend on the type of USB HUB due to the limitation of OS.
-
This Power Saving function is OFF in Windows Vista.
When you want to ON it, you install TMUSB Driver with –p1 option.
You must set Power Management setting of the USB Root hub which -
“Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” is ON.
-
Other notes
-
When you turn off/on the printer power
When you cycle the power of printer, USB may not be initialized. Please turn on the power after turning off the power about 10 seconds. -
USB2.0 HUB
High Speed connection becomes available when a Full Speed printer is connected via the USB 2.0 HUB,
even if your EPSON TM/EU/BA printer does not support USB 2.0 High Speed (only when your host PC has an EHCI host controller).
Again, see the requirements in “When the printer is connected via USB 2.0 High Speed connection” described earlier. -
When “USB Printing Support” is installed
In case you connect TMUSB to PC without installing TMUSB device driver, TMUSB may not be operated because “USB Printing Support” is installed
When “EPSON USB Controller for TM/BA/EU Printers” is not displayed on Device Manager although you connect TM-C100 to PC and turn on the power, please return with following procedures.
- Connect TM-C100 to PC and turn on the power supply.
- If “USB Printing Support” is displayed in the Device Manager, right-click “USB Printing Support” and select “Delete”.
- Turn the power for the TM-C100 off and then back on again.
- Confirm if “EPSON USB Controller for TM/BA/EU Printers” is displayed in the Device Manager.
If printer is not recognized because of the reset processing or the power
off/on
If you reset the printer from program or cycle the power quickly, the printer
may not be recognized because of the problem of Microsoft such as the
selective suspend function, etc.

Notes when shifting to PC standby or hibernation mode
The computer might not be shifted to the standby or hibernation mode while the
printer is working due to the limitation of OS.
Also, the system might become unstable when the power supply of the printer is
turned off
while shifting the computer to standby or hibernation mode or when you pull
out the cable of USB, due to the limitation of OS.
Please make the computer standby or hibernation mode after closing the print
application or turning off the power supply of the printer.
The order of installing driver
TMUSB might be replaced old TMUSB version when you install the driver that old
TMUSB version is bundled after you install the driver that new TMUSB version
is bundled.
In that case, please install new TMUSB version.
Please use Ver.2.20a in the Windows 98 environment.
Notes for the installation of the TM/BA/EU driver:
Before performing the installation or upgrade of the driver, turn off the
device of the TM/BA/EU, and cancel “Found New Hardware Wizard” if the dialog

2) Fixed for blue screen problem relating to USB power saving function.
5.10a| The problem of failing in the scanner image reception is corrected.
(TM-S1000, TM-J9000/J9100, TM-H6000II/III with Scanner)
*This problem occurs only by 5.00a.
5.00a| Supports Windows 7 (32bit/64bit), Windows Server 2008 R2 (64bit)
4.00c| Support Windows Server 2003 (64bit)
4.00b| In the 64bit OS, if the power of device is turned on, the TMUSB is
newly installed (after “Found New Hardware Wizard” is cancelled and install
it) or is upgraded version, and the power is restored, the TMUSB, from then,
will not be recognized by system and cannot communicate with the device.
4.00a| 1) Addition of the process so that other driver (OPOS, OPOS.Net, Java
POS, Advanced Printer Driver, TM-J9000/J9100 Driver, TM-S1000 Driver) could be
available even when TMCOMUSB is used.
---|---
2) Modification of the operation that temporary COM port is used whenever new
printer (with the different serial # of the USB) is connected while the
TMCOMUSB is
3) Phenomenon correction for that: When two or more applications try to open a
USB port at the same time, the USB port might be opened more than two
3.20d| We revise the installation of the OPOS, OPOS.NET, APD, JavaPOS,
TM-J9000/J9100 Driver, TM-S1000 Driver, TM-S1000 Utility, TMNetWinConfig,
TMFlogo, Memory Switch Setting Utility and TMFontRunner becomes the error
problem.
Due to the faulty of the program to detect OEM files.
While the TMUSB installation was performed, the access violation occurred and
the installation. We corresponded to this phenomenon.
3.20c| When you install an old driver (OPOS, OPOS.NET, JavaPOS, APD,
TM-J9000/J9100 Driver, TM-S1000 Driver) that TMUSB Ver.2.10a or Ver.2.20a is
bundled after installing the driver (OPOS, OPOS.NET, JavaPOS, APD,
TM-J9000/J9100 Driver, TM-S1000 Driver) that TMUSB Ver.3.10a or Ver.3.20b is
bundled, TMUSB might replace Ver.2.10a or Ver.2.20a . We corresponded to this
phenomenon.
3.20b| 1)For Windows XP, when two or more TM-S1000, TM-T88IV, and TM-T70 tie
by the USB2.0 High Speed connection, and when you turn off the power supply or
cut the cable, it is likely to become the blue screen. We corresponded to this
problem.
2) For Windows Vista, when you do PC in the standby while the driver is
operating, the application might hang up. We corresponded to this phenomenon.
3) In Windows XP, TM-S1000, TM-T88IV, and TM-T70, when the events that the USB
cutting and the device shifts to the power saving mode are executed in
synchronized timing, the application might hang up. We corresponded to this
phenomenon.
4) In Windows XP, TM-S1000, TM-T88IV, and TM-T70, when the timing that the OS
shift to the power saving mode and the timing that the device returns from the
power saving mode are synchronized, it is not possible to communicate with the
device.
We corresponded to this phenomenon.
5) When you start the TMUSB installer specifying the absolute path, the
installer might not work normally. We corresponded to this phenomenon and the
Unicode.
6) When you install and overwrite TMUSB before Ver.3.10a after installing the
driver that TMUSB Ver.3.10a is bundled, it is not possible to return it to new
TMUSB Ver.3.10a. We corresponded to this phenomenon.
7) When you install an old driver that TMUSB before Ver.3.10a is bundled after
installing the driver that TMUSB Ver.3.10a is bundled, TMUSB might replace
Ver.3.10a. We corresponded to this phenomenon.
3.10b| This version is Ver.3.10a for TM-S1000 Utility, and doesn’t change in
the main body of the device driver.
3.10a| Corresponding to TM-S1000 and Windows Vista (32bit,64bit (Only

screen when the traffic of communication between PC and the printer is busy.
This problem is corrected.
2) When you quickly connect and disconnect the USB cable of the printer for
USB2.0 HighSpeed, it becomes a blue screen. We corrected this problem.
3) The problem that a note PC might not be shifted to the standby when the
printer is connected with the note PC is corrected.
4) When the printer for USB2.0 HighSpeed is connected with PC, it cannot
return from the standby mode. The problem is corrected.
5) For TM-T88IV and TM-T70, notification of the power supply OFF/ON of OPOS is
issued even though the power supply is not turned off or on. The problem is
