Epson Tm-t88iv Manual Dip Switch
Replacement or New Installation?
Switch Setting 1 3 4 DIP switch DWS1 position 4 must be switched to the “ON” position when used on a Passport system. No Gender Changer is needed when using the TM-T88III or TM-T88IV with a Passport System. The printer cable coming from the printer and going to the Passport is connected into a RS232 converter on Passport. I have a TM-T88V that the UB-E04 card works fine with. I also have the old UB-E03 thats no longer available, but that works w/ every model of the TM-T88 I've tried, III, IV, and V. It looks to me in spite what the manual stays the UB-E04 is not compatible w/ the TM-T88IV. Manuals and free instruction guides. Find the user manual.
- Replacement
If replacing an existing printer:
- Verify that the printer model and data connection arethe same on both printers
- Configure - copy the connection settings from old tonew
- Test - plug in and test the new printer

If installing a new printer, or a different model or same model witha different interface:
- Install driver software on the computer
- Connect the printer to the computer using the rightcable
- Configure the printer on the computer

Assembly
Remove the printerfrom the packaging and shipping protection. Ensure thatyou have all of the accessories and components you needto set-up the unit. Generally this will include a powersupply, a data communication cable, and a roll of thermal paper.
Power Supply
The TM-T88III requires a24 Volt power supply (Epson models PS-150, PS-170, PS-180, DA-36E24, M235A). Pleasemake sure you are not using an older 33V power supplythat has the same pin pattern but won't work with any ofour printers. Check for correctpower supply here.
Unless you've ordered a printer kit, the printer cableis not included with new or refurbished printers. Withthe exception of serial interfaces, all printers usestandard (parallel, USB or Ethernet) printer cablesavailable from an electronics store. Serial printersmost commonly use a null modem type cable but mayrequire a custom serial adapter. Consult your POS vendorfor more information.

If you arereplacing a printer or have another in the sameenvironment, it is best to match the settings on thatunit to ensure the new printer is able to communicatecorrectly. For a listing of specific DIP Switch settingsby model, please visit our main support page.
There is a multitude ofPoint-of-Sale software and configuration settings. Forquestions regarding the configuration of a softwareinstallation or the function of other POS hardwarecomponents, you should contact the manufacturer or yourPOS system directly. If you are changing a printer in anexisting POS set-up the best approach is to make surethe DIP settings on the old and new printers matchexactly (if they are the same model and series).
Initial Test
Turn on the printer. If the unit is hooked up correctly and readyto test, there will be no error lights showing. The lights should light solidand not flash. If lights are flashing check to see ifthe printer is setup correctly (ie. paper is installed,data cable is connected, etc.).Run the self-test on the printer; turn printer offand power back on while holding down the Feedbutton. This test will print the settings of the unitand a series of test characters. If this self-testprints correctly, the problem is external to theprinter. For instructions for specific printers,check here.
Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble getting the unit to printcorrectly, there are a number of different things youcan try to isolate or solve the problem:
- Reboot the computer/terminal and cycle the poweron the printer. This step ensures that all of thesoftware and settings are loaded correctly.
- If you have another printer of the same model,swap that unit in and try to print. This willdetermine if the communications cable andcomputer/terminal are functioning correctly and ifthe problem is with that specific printer unit.
- If you have a data cable of the same type(null-modem serial, parallel, USB, Ethernet), swapout the cable and attempt to print again. Datacables can fail rarely, and this step will determineif the cable is the issue.
- If you are connecting to a Windows PC, you cango into the Control Panel / System / Hardware /Device Manager / Ports and determine if the port isfunctioning and the port number matches with thesetup of your software.
