Connecting The Drawer Kick-Out Cable; Installing The Driver - Epson T88IIIP - TM B/W Thermal Line Printer Technical Reference Manual

Note:
Before removing the DC cable connector from the EPSON PS-180 (current model power supply) or the
PS-170 (legacy model), make sure the power supply cable has been removed from the power supply unit,
then grasp the arrow-marked section of the connector and pull straight out.

2.5.2 Connecting the Drawer Kick-out Cable

WARNING:
Prepare a drawer that meets printer specifications. Otherwise, the drawer kick-out
solenoid or other parts in the drawer might burn and cause a fire. This may also cause
the printer to malfunction at the same time.
Do not insert a telephone line into the drawer kick-out connector. Doing so may
damage the telephone line or printer.
Connect the connector of the drawer kick-out cable to the printer.

2.6 Installing the Driver

To use the TM printer, either the Advanced Printer Driver (APD) (Windows driver) or the
EPSON OPOS ADK (OCX driver) must be installed. For an outline of each driver, refer to
"Introducing the Control Methods" (page 3-1). For details on installation methods, refer to the
manual for the respective driver.
Note:
The TM-T88III also can be operated using the driver for TM-88II. Functions, however, are restricted as
follows:
• The maximum print speed is restricted to 120 mm/s {4.72"/s} or less.
• Some baud rates (38400, 2400 bps) are not available in serial communications.
ESC/POS commands are also available for directly controlling the printer without the user of a driver. For
details on ESC/POS commands, also refer to "ESC/POS Commands" (page 3-5).
