Successful TCP / Ethernet Epson printer implementation
------------------------------------------------------
Key: OFBIZ-1853
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1853
Project: OFBiz
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: specialpurpose/pos
Affects Versions: SVN trunk
Environment: Epson TM-T88IV, With correct Ethernet module for back
(replacing the Serial port), Epson ADK 1.9, Epson TMNet WINconfig,
Reporter: Branden Strickland
Priority: Minor
Fix For: SVN trunk
1) First, replace the modules in back of the printer
2) While the printer is unplugged from power, you must change the "reset"
dip-switch (2-7) from off to on.
3) Power on the printer, and plug it into the network.
4) As per the "UB-E02 Technical Reference Guide." (get it, you'll need it) use
the switch button on the Ethernet module to set the ROM back to factory
defaults. This will also print a settings page afterward, and let you know the
subnet / ip address that you'll need to know to configure the printer.
5) Use the Epson TMNet WINconfig utility on a Windows box (sorry! there is NO
linux utility!) Set the PC on the same subnet, and set your gateway as the
default IP address of the printer.
6) Change the settings of the printer (once connected) to suite your
environment.
7) Add the printer to Epson JavaPOS with SetupPOS.sh using the IP address and
info that you set previously.
8) Test with CheckHealth
9) Add printer to pos-containers.
10) start and test OFBIZ...You will receive the error at the bottom of the
page. I think it's from something in the deviceloader that is able to check
through serial and not though Ethernet! Nothing I wanted to fiddle with
though, It works just fine and fast!
FYI....DO NOT use a passthrough drawer on Ethernet printers, or customer
displays. It mentioned this several times in all of the technical guides.
