ESC/POS® Proprietary Command System EPSON took the initiative by introducing ESC/POS, a proprietary POS printer command system including patented commands and enabling versatile POS system construction with high scalability. Compatible with all types of EPSON POS printers and displays, this proprietary control system also offers the flexibility to easily make future upgrades. Its popularity is worldwide. i The influence on the environment of radio wave radiation ❏ The Radio Frequency module that can be installed in this product radiates the same high frequency energy as some other high frequency devices but the level of the energy radiated from it is suppressed so that it is much lower than the electromagnetic energy radiated from radio equipment like cell phones. ❏ Under some situations and in certain environments, the use of this equipment is sometimes limited by the owner of the building or a representative with responsibility for the group. For example, it may be restricted in the following case: • Use in an environment where it may cause interference with other devices and services. ❏ If you do not understand the radio device usage policy in a specific group or environment, such as an airport, ask permission before turning on the power of this product. Note about interference ❏ The Radio Frequency module that can be installed in this product generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. ❏ If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult your dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. ❏ Never disassemble or modify this product or the installed Radio Frequency module. ❏ Seiko Epson Corporation shall not be liable for interference to radio/TV resulting from changes or modifications to this product or the installed Radio Frequency module not expressly approved by Seiko Epson Corporation. ❏ Other radio equipment sometimes uses the same frequency band that this unit uses. To prevent radio wave interference with other radio equipment, pay attention to the following matters when you use this product: ii • The Radio Frequency module that can be installed in this product uses the Industrial Scientific and Medical band (2.4 GHz), DS-SS modulation, and the interference distance is 40 m. • Other equipment that uses the same frequency band used by the Radio Frequency module that can be installed in this product includes equipment for industry, science and medical treatment, microwave ovens, HomeRF, and radio and other broadcasting equipment (both ones that require a license and ones that do not require a license). TM-P60 with Peeler Technical Reference Guide • Confirm that radio and other broadcasting equipment are not used nearby before using this product. • When trouble occurs, for example, if the Radio Frequency module causes problems such as radio wave interference, consult your dealer. Note about security This section describes security concerns when using a wireless LAN by using the Radio Frequency module that can be installed in this product. Please also see “Wireless LAN Security” in Appendix B. Security is important for the protection of the user’s privacy A wireless LAN has the advantage that information can be exchanged by using radio waves instead of a cable. However, radio waves are not confined to a cable and can be received in a fairly wide area and through obstacles such as walls, so if security is not used, the following problems may occur. ❏ Communication data can be received by stealth. A third person can receive private communication data by intercepting the radio waves intentionally. Such a person could receive items such as the following: • Personal information, such a an ID and password or credit card number • The contents of e-mail. • Data which is communicated between the PC and printer. ❏ Illegal access A third person can access the network and cause damage such as the following: • Personal information and secret information can be removed. • Invalid information can be sent as if it were from a legitimate user of the network. • Intercepted communication contents can be re-written and sent. • Data and the system can be destroyed by an electronic virus. This product, the wireless LAN card, and the access point have security mechanisms to counter these problems. If you use the security settings for this product, you can nearly eliminate these problems. In some cases, the wireless LAN equipment is not set up before it is sold to the user. Therefore, to attempt to prevent security problems, always use all the security settings for the wireless LAN equipment according to the manual. The security functions, however, cannot guarantee 100% security. Please understand this when you use this product. When you cannot set the security by yourself, please ask your dealer. iii Seiko Epson Corporation suggests that the security setting is set by the judgment and the responsibility of user after understanding the possible problems resulting from using this product without the security settings.

FCC WARNING Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. CANADA This device conforms to IC, Low Power License-Exempt Radio Communication Devices (RSS-210). The information such as Certification No., Model Name, and Manufacturer Name are described on the surface of the module. SAR The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The TM-P60 with Peeler has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. The maximum SAR levels tested for TM-P60 has been shown to be 0.144W/kg at Body. xi EUROPE Hereby, TOYOTA INDUSTRIES CORPORATION, declares that this 6180210 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC and 89/336/EEC.

B TM-P60 with Peeler Technical Reference Guide Setup Flow You have to set up your printer to use it. And you can adjust some features by customizing them. This section describes the setup. The setup flow of preparing to use printer is below. 1. Printer setup ❏ Switching issuing mode ❏ Install Roll Paper ❏ Install the battery pack or connect the printer to the AC adapter 2. Adjust various settings (If you need to) ❏ DIP switches ❏ Memory switches ❏ Paper width (Adjust the spacer) 3. Install to your wireless LAN by either method. ❏ Using utility (TMNet WinConfig) • with wireless LAN • with serial connection (RS 232C) ❏ Using browser • with wireless LAN When you select Direct control method (ESC/ POS command,) you don’t need to install any drivers. 4. Driver setup ❏ OPOS ❏ APD 5. Complete setup Note: A printer may beep when turned on. It is caused by the Access point’s LAN setting not corresponding to the printer. Ignore the beeping. (see “Beeping Types” on page 2- 2 for the beeping pattern.) When you use OPOS (OCX driver from EPSON) or the Advanced Printer Driver, you need to install the driver. When you use ESC/POS commands, you don’t have to install drivers. The following sections describe the setup. Rev. B 2-5 Setup Switching Issuing Mode The issuing mode can be switched between the label continuous issuing mode and the label peeler issuing mode by folding the peeler holder under the peeler cover. Installing the Roll Paper CAUTION: Be sure to use roll paper that meets the specifications. Note: Do not use paper rolls that have the paper glued to the core. 1. Press the open button to open the roll paper cover and the peeler holder. 2. When using the label continuous issuing mode: Fold the peeler holder under the peeler cover. This covers the label peeler detector. When using the label peeler issuing mode: Peel off the first label, and press the peeler change over lever to lift the peeler holder. 2-6 Setup Rev. B TM-P60 with Peeler Technical Reference Guide 3. When installing the label paper horizontally: Set the new roll paper on the inside of the roll paper cover and pull the leading edge of the roll paper. When installing the label paper vertically: Set the new roll paper in the inside of the roll paper cover. Pull the leading edge of the roll paper. Align the left edge of the roll paper with the edge of the cover. Note: Note the direction the paper comes off the roll. To use the label in the label peeling issuing mode, peel the first label from the liner, them set the liner to the peeler roller. 4. Close the roll paper cover. Note: When closing the peeler cover, make sure to close it firmly, pressing both ends. Rev. B 2-7 Setup 5. Close the peeler holder. Note: Removing the issued label enables the label peeler detector to detect a PAPER END and the printer to issue the next label. If the first label is not removed when using the label peeler issuing mode, the thickness of the label and the backing paper overloads the peeler holder, possibly stopping the paper feed motor. When the label is completely fed to the peeling position, the printer goes in the label removal waiting state. The user is required to remove the label by him/herself. When the label peeler detector detects the paper at the power on, the printer goes in the label removal waiting state. In this case, the ERROR LED is turned on. The user is required to remove the label by him/ herself. If the printer’s power is turned off while the label peeler detector detects the paper presence, the printer goes into the label removal waiting state when the power is turned on. Therefore, make sure to remove the label when the power is turned off. 2-8 Setup Rev.

Close the roll paper cover after the water or alcohol has dried. 3.10 Cleaning the Peeler Unit After the peeler is used for a prolonged period of time, the glue from the labels accumulates on the rollers of the peeler unit. If you leave the rollers in such a condition, the glue may stick to issued labels, or a paper jam may occur. To prevent malfunctions and maintain good print quality, clean the rollers regularly (every 20, 000 labels). You can clean them easily if you use a wasted label. rollers Note: Do not use any alcohol based solvents for cleaning. Such solvents may enter the roller shaft and cause a malfunction of the peeler. 3-8 Troubleshooting Rev. B TM-P60 with Peeler Technical Reference Guide Chapter 4 Application Development Information This section contains usable information to develop POS systems that use this printer. 4.1 About wireless communication 4.1.1 For Application developing The TM-P60 with Peeler uses wireless comunication technology; therefore temporary communication breaks may occur when you move or are in an outside environment. When you develop application software using wireless communication, you should consider this. We recommend you confirm whether or not the printer printed after every print data transmission unit. Detection of communication errors and recovering from such errors are also important. Data communication without confirmation of printing and detetection of communication errors may cause data loss. To ensure heighly reliable data communication, we recommend the use of the status confirmation function of our genuine OPOS, or Windows Printer Driver (APD). 4.1.2 For Radio field intensity Wireless communication is related to radio field intensity. The TM-P60 with Peeler has a function,“Radio Field Intensity Check Mode” (page 3-5), to confirm the current radio field intensity. This mode shows the current radio field intensity to the operator. The function can’t be executed from any drivers (OPOS, Advanced Printer Driver) or ESC/POS commands. Rev.

This section describes the kind of statuses and handling. Status Categories Description Roll Paper cover status Roll paper cover is open or closed FEED button status Paper feed button is pressed or not Error status Various error information (Off-line / On-line), (detail of the error; Mechanical error, autocutter error, auto-recovery error, unrecoverable error) The statuses are useful for the following situations. 4-4 Application Development Information Rev. B TM-P60 with Peeler Technical Reference Guide ❏ When an error status is sent to the host PC, the host PC can display an error message or solution message for operator (with beeping). ❏ When “Paper end“ status is sent to the host PC, the host PC can display a message for the operator to replace roll paper (with beeping). 4.4.1 Printer Status on APD When you use APD to get printer’s status, you have to install “Status API“ and use it. Refer to “Status API User’s Manual“ and the sample program of Status API for details. 4.4.2 OPOS Note This section describes the summary of status handling. Refer to “OPOS ADK Application Development Guide General Functions” for details. 4.4.2.1 Checking the printer state The state of the printer can be checked through properties supported by the printer. For example, if the user wants to check if the printer cover is open, the CoverOpen property can be used. If OPOSPOSPrinter1.CoverOpen = True Then MsgBox “Cover is open!” End If This and many other events can also be checked by firing a StatusUpdateEvent. [Event management] Private Sub OPOSPOSPrinter1_StatusUpdateEvent(ByVal Data As Long) If Data = PTR_SUE_COVER_OPEN Then MsgBox “Cover is open!” End If End Sub StatusUpdateEvent can return information on the following items. STATUS INFORMATION Rev. B PTR_SUE_COVER_OPEN Cover is open. PTR_SUE_COVER_OK Cover is closed. PTR_SUE_REC_EMPTY Receipt paper is out. PTR_SUE_REC_PAPEROK Receipt paper is OK. PTR_SUE_IDLE Printer State is idle. Application Development Information 4-5 When the FlagWhenIdle property is set to TRUE, PTR_SUE_IDLE is sent to inform the application that the printer is idle. Other than when data is being sent, the printer is in an idle state, so if FlagWhenIdle is TRUE, an event will be fired when printing is finished. After the event is fired, FlagWhenIdle will be set to FALSE. By using this value, the information below can be found out. *Finding out when multiple asynchronous print jobs have finished printing. When multiple asynchronous print jobs have been sent to the printer, it is possible to know when they have finished printing. After setting the AsyncMode property to TRUE and running the PrintNormal method, change the FlagWhenIdle property to TRUE. When all data has finished printing, the printer becomes idle and a StatusUpdateEvent is fired to the application with the value of PTR_SUE_IDLE. 4.4.2.2 Printer Errors and Status A change in printer status when asynchronous data is being sent is made available to the program by the firing of an ErrorEvent and StatusUpdateEvent. When the printer changes status while nothing is happening, the change is told to the program by a StatusUpdateEvent only. As an example, assume that the printer cover becomes open. Usually, when data is not being sent to the printer and the cover is opened, a StatusUpdateEvent is fired to the application. After the AsyncMode property is set to TRUE and a method is used to print data, if the cover is opened while the data is being sent, the program is notified by an ErrorEvent. ErrorEvents are fired when the error has interrupted the data that is being sent. Only StatusUpdateEvent will fire when the error does not effect the data and the data will continue being sent as normal. Reasons for the ErrorEvent being fired and the corresponding error names are listed below. ResultCode/ ResultCodeExtended Reason OPOS_E_ILLEGAL There is an abnormality with the device. (Includes the following 1 error) OPOS_E_EXTENDED Error determined by the device’s SO (Includes the following 4 errors) OPOS_EPTR_COVER_OPEN Cover is open. OPOS_EPTR_REC_EMPTY Receipt paper is empty. OPOS_E_FAILURE Hard error (Includes the following 6 errors). OPOS_EPTR_UNRECOVERABLE Error that cannot be recovered from. OPOS_EPTR_CUTTER Error with the auto cutter. OPOS_EPTR_MECHANICAL Mechanical error. OPOS_EPTR_OVERHEAT Head overheat error. OPOS_EX_DEVBUSY Device busy error. OPOS_EPTR_REC_CARTRIDGE_REMOVED Receipt cartridge is removed. OPOS_EPTR_REC_CARTRIDGE_EMPTY Receipt cartridge is empty. OPOS_EPTR_REC_HEAD_CLEANING Receipt head starts cleaning. 4-6 Application Development Information Rev. B TM-P60 with Peeler Technical Reference Guide After an error occurs, more detailed information about the error can be obtained from the ErrorLevel, ErrorStation, and ErrorString properties. 4.4.2.3 ESC/POS commands When you use ESC/POS commands to control the printer, you can get the status by using “status command” including Auto Status Back command (ASB.) Please refer to “ESC/POS APG.” 4.5 NV memory This printer has NV memory (Non-volatile). The data of NV memory remains after you turn off the power. The NV memory is available in two ways. 1. NV Graphics Please refer “NV Graphics Printing” (page 4-8) for details of the function. 2. User NV memory There is free area in the NV memory that the user can use. You can use this free area for notations, to write other character information, or for many other purposes. The data remains after you turn off the power. Use ESC/POS commands to read and write this data. The following are examples of purposes. • Date of the printer for maintenance • ID definition for developer or POS system Note When you use User NV memory area by using OPOS or APD, you have to use “Direct I/O method” or “Control A font.” Please contact EPSON or your dealer for details. Note the following when writing to and erasing NV memory. ❏ The following restrictions apply when performing NV memory operations (including data writing and erasing). • The paper FEED button must not be used to feed paper. • The real-time command must not be executed. • The ASB status will not be sent, even when the ASB function is set to enabled. ❏ The printer sometimes enters the Busy state while data is written to NV memory. It is important not to send data from the host computer while the printer is in the Busy state, as it will be incapable of processing any received data. ❏ Frequent use of the functions for writing to and erasing data from NV memory can damage the memory. As a rule in using the various commands, avoid writing to NV memory more than 10 times per day. Rev. B Application Development Information 4-7 4.6 NV Graphics Printing This printer has an “NV Bit-Graphics“ Function. This function provides printing Graphics (e.g. a shop logo.) This function is available for any control method (APD, OPOS, ESC/POS command.) EPSON provides a utility, “TMFLogo,” that enables registration of a bitmap image in the NV memory of an EPSON TM series printer. The bitmap image in the NV memory can be printed with the printer by using each control method. NV Graphics Printable Size Printing methodPaper width, or less than paper width. Store Store NV Graphics to NV memory by TMFLogo utility in device specific settings on the SetupPOS utility. If you store the bitmap in NVRAM, it is not necessary to restore it unless the NV memory is deleted. 1200dot (normal mode) 2400dot (double-height mode) Print Depends on each control method. Note NV graphics data shares the domain used by user NV memory record data; therefore, the entire capacity of the domain to which NV graphics data and user NV memory data are defined is targeted. The TM-P60 with Peeler’s entire capacity is 384 KB. Example: The NV memory can store 64 items graphics data when the file size of a graphic is 6 KB. 4.6.1 Advanced Printer Driver 4.6.1.1 How to print “NV Graphics“ APD prints a stored “NV Graphics“ by using “Control font.“ See the User’s Manual of the Advanced Printer Driver for details. 4.6.1.2 Printable bitmap format in APD The printable bitmap formats are formats that meet all the following condition. ❏ When using “NV Graphics“ • Depends on the TM Flogo utility. (.BMP format) 4.6.2 OPOS EPSON OPOS ADK provides a tool, “TMFLogo” that enables registration of a bitmap image in the NVRAM of an EPSON TM series printer. The tool can be used from the device specific settings of the SetupPOS utility. The bitmap image in the NVRAM can be printed with a printer by using the DirectIO method. 4-8 Application Development Information Rev. B TM-P60 with Peeler Technical Reference Guide 4.6.2.1 Printing method Print stored bitmap by DirectIO method. • *Command : PTR_DI_PRINT_FLASH_BITMAP Note NV graphics data shares the domain used by user NV memory record data; therefore, the entire capacity of the domain to which NV graphics data and user NV memory data are defined is targeted. The TM-P60 with Peeler’s entire capacity is 384 KB. 4.6.2.2 LetterQuality It is possible to change the speed and quality of a bitmap by using the XXXLetterQuality property. RecLetterQuality = TRUE ‘print Receipt’s bitmap in quality mode. RecLetterQuality = FALSE ‘print Receipt’s bitmap in speed mode. 4.6.2.3 Setting of printing position by escape sequence POS Printers support escape sequences that can be treated as printing data. The following commands are the escape sequence command for setting of printing position. Name Data Remarks Center ESC |cA Aligns following text in the center. Right justify ESC |rA Aligns following text at the right. Normal ESC |N Restores printer characteristics to normal condition. Note1: manner of ”ESC |cA” and “ESC |rA” Characteristics are reset at the end of each print method or by a “Normal” sequence, so these escape sequences cannot be used in the following manner. OPOSPOSPrinter1.PrintNormal PTR_S_RECEIPT, Chr(&H1B) + ”|cA” + ”123” OPOSPOSPrinter1.PrintNormal PTR_S_RECEIPT, “456” + Chr(13) + Chr(10) The “123” characters will be printed in the center, but not under “456”. When using a new method to print characters, it is necessary to add the desired escape sequence again. Note2 : limitation of ”ESC |cA” and “ESC |rA” *During rotated printing mode (Left90, right90), these escape sequences will not work. *These will not work if they are not the first character of a line. *It is not possible to use these on PrintBitmap method.

B TM-P60 with Peeler Technical Reference Guide Appendix B Wireless LAN Network Composition B.1 Network mode B.1.1 Infrastructure Mode This is a method for connecting to an existing wired network using an access point. If multiple access points are in the same proximity, set their channels at least five channels apart. For setting the access point, see the manual for the access point. B.1.2 Ad Hoc Mode A network connection between personal computers and printers that have a wireless LAN function is called an “Ad Hoc Mode.” Each piece of equipment can be connected without using an access point. This product supports the IBSS AdHoc mode. To use the Ad Hoc connection, set the network name [SSID], the network key, and the channel of each device to the same setting. B.2 Wireless LAN Use The Radio Frequency module that can be installed to this product uses the IEEE 802.11b standard and cannot communicate with equipment using IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11g. The distance between the communicating wireless LAN equipment must be 25 meters or less, but the distance of possible communication depends on the environment. Also, the communication speed sometimes declines at longer distances. The wireless LAN can be set to any one of 11 channels, but when another wireless LAN network is using a channel with a similar number, it sometimes interferes. Therefore, set the two networks to channels that are at least 5 channels apart. Place the access point, the built-in wireless LAN system, and the printer separate from other electronic devices. Specifically, equipment such as microwave ovens that emit high frequency energy can cause interference. If this happens, move the wireless equipment or the interfering equipment so that there is no more interference. Radio and other broadcasting equipment can also interfere with the wireless communication. If this happens, move the access point and the printer away from the interference. Because Bluetooth and the wireless LAN use the identical frequency band (2.4GHz), signal interference sometimes occurs when they are used close together. Separate them by more than 10 meters. Rev. B Wireless LAN Network Composition B-1 B.3 Wireless LAN Security B.3.1 Security of a wireless LAN Why does a wireless LAN need a security function? A wireless LAN is designed to be constructed easily without the labor of wiring, In the wired LAN environment, because the communication flows through a network cable, the cable must be connected physically to tap or monitor the communication contents and/or tamper with the data. But with wireless, the communication is broadcast and susceptible to interception. Communicating on a wireless network without using security is the same as leaving your house without locking the door. Therefore, we recommend using wireless security options. A wireless LAN needs better security measures than a wired LAN does. What kind of security functions does the wireless LAN have? To prevent above-mentioned problem, the wireless LAN of the IEEE802.11 method is provided with the security functions described below, which can be set easily by the developer and the end user. Not setting security at all with a wireless LAN is the same as going out without locking the door of your house. These security functions attempt to prevent your data from being monitored or tampered with by a third party. For increased wireless security, you can use such methods as a Radius server and Internet Protocol Security (IPSec). B.3.2 Security Function Outline SSID (Service Set Identifier) This is the ID which specifies an access point of the connection place; only wireless LAN terminals that are set to the same SSID can connect with each other. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) This encrypts data between the access point and the wireless LAN terminal with a common encryption key (the WEP key). MAC (Media Access Control) This is address filtering. After registering a unique number (the MAC address) of each wireless LAN terminal; this allows only the registered terminals to connect to the wireless LAN. B.3.3 Outline of Each Security Function SSID Setting The SSID must be set to a unique name of the network to distinguish it from the other networks. (It is set to “EpsonNetIBSS” at the factory.) Because a third person can see the SSID easily, the SSID does not have a security function. However, setting SSID to the name of the company using the network may provoke unnecessary interest by third parties.We recommend using an SSID that has no meaning to outside parties. Wireless LAN Network Composition B-2 Rev. B TM-P60 with Peeler Technical Reference Guide WEP Setting WEP is the function to encrypt the wireless data. It is currently the most effective standard security function. Because the factory setting for the WEP encryption key setting is Enabled, you must set it to Disabled to connect it to a wireless network. Once it is connected, you can set the WEP encryption key in the printer to the same as the key in the network. When it is possible to set the WEP key to 128 bits or 64 bits, select 128 bits to make it harder to decipher the key. We also recommend changing the WEP key regularly in case it is ever deciphered. MAC Address Filtering This prohibits a connection to an access point by any device that does not have a MAC address registered with the network. This can prevent tampering with your data but it does not prevent unauthorized monitoring of your data. Because there is possibility to be monitored, we recommend using the MAC address together with WEP. Note: Just as you can protect your house better with two locks instead of one, you can protect your network better by using more than one security feature.
