Epson t88v receipt printer network setup

Had to setup an Epson T88v printer:

Getting initial printer and Ethernet adapter settings (Type IV)
Get the initial settings of the Ethernet adapter. Run the printer self test (hold down the feed button while turning on the printer). The printer will print a list of initial settings including interface type and buffer capacity. verify that the interface is "Ethernet"

A similar test can then be done on the UB-E03, UB-E04 adapter by inserting a paperclip through the small hole in the adapter for 3 seconds.

A strip will print showing the MAC address, Gateway (GW), IP address and IP assignment method (manual/auto).

Changing the IP Address of the Adapter
Now comes the tricky part. To be able to change the IP address on the adapter you need to be able to connect with it. To do this you most likely need to change the IP address of your computer to a value that makes the adapter accessible. You can then connect to the adapter, make the change to the adapter, then return the computer back to it's original settings.

Note: the mPOS version of the UB-E03, UB-E04 Ethernet cards are set to DHCP and will try to find an available IP address on its own the first time it appears on your network. If successful, it will print out the IP address it is using. If the address is acceptable to you then skip to section about Configuring the Computer for work with the Ethernet card. LOGIN INFORMATION  - Epson UB-E04 Cards also require you to enter a user name and password. The default values are epson / epson

Resetting the Adapter
You can reset the UB-E03, UB-E04 Ethernet Interface card to factory defaults by holding down the push button on the card (see arrow above) while turning on the printer power and continuing to hold it down for 5 seconds. This causes all internal settings to return to their factory defaults. For the older UB-E02 cards, hold the push button down after the printer is on for 30 seconds.

Setting the IP Address on your Computer
In Windows you can access the wired Ethernet adapter in the "Network Connections" applet in the Windows Control Panels (Internet Protocol/TCP/IP properties, allow you to enter an IP address.) Make a note of the existing settings, you'll be returning to those settings when your done. Set the IP address to an address in the same domain as the adapter. For example of the adapter shows an IP address of 172.16.10.63 you could change the computer to 172.16.10.2.  Do not set the computer to the same address as the Ethernet adapter on the printer. You might have to reset the computer's adapter for the new settings to take place.

Logging onto the Adapter using TMNet WebConfig (Type II or Type IV)
TMNet web configuration allows you to access the adapter via your network using a web browser. Generally speaking the adapter must be in the same sub domain as the computer to be able to log on (see previous section for how to configure the PC to the same subdomain)

	Using a web browser such as Internet Explorer you should now be able to connect to the adapter by entering the IP address of the adapter directly into the address bar of the browser. The TMNet General Information page show open.
	To change the IP address, select 'TCP/IP' under 'Configuration.' You can enter a new IP address and gateway address. Press the 'Submit' button when done
	The 'Submit' button with write settings to the printer. The Ethernet adapter is reset when you press the 'Reset' button.

Installing printer via BAT file - Windows 7 - All users

Want to install printer via .BAT script, not Active Directory or group policy:

From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624057(WS.10).aspx



Printui.dll is the executable file that contains the functions used by the printer configuration dialog boxes. These functions can also be called from within a script or a command-line batch file, or they can be run interactively from the command prompt.

Base Parameters	Description
/dl	Deletes the local printer.
/dn	Deletes a network printer connection.
/dd	Deletes a printer driver.
/e	Displays the printing preferences for a given printer.
/ga	Adds a per computer printer connection (the connection is available to any user on that computer when they log on).
/ge	Displays per computer printer connections on a computer.
/gd	Deletes a per computer printer connection (the connection is deleted the next time a user logs on).
/ia	Installs a printer driver by using an .inf file.
/id	Installs a printer driver by using the Add Printer Driver Wizard.
/if	Installs a printer by using an .inf file.
/ii	Installs a printer by using the Add Printer wizard with an .inf file.
/il	Installs a printer by using the Add Printer wizard.
/in	Connects to a remote network printer.
/ip	Installs a printer by using the Network Printer Installation Wizard (available from the user interface from Print Management).
/k	Prints a test page on a printer.
/o	Displays the queue for a printer.
/p	Displays the properties of a printer. When you use this parameter, you must also specify a value for the modification parameter /n[name].
/s	Displays the properties of a print server. If you want to view the local print server, you do not need to use a modification parameter. However, if you want to view a remote print server, you must specify the /c[name] modification parameter.
/Ss	Specifies what type of information for a printer will be stored. If none of the values for /Ss are specified, the default behavior is as if all of them were specified. Use this base parameter with the following values placed at the end of the command line: 2: Use to store the information contained in the printer’s PRINTER_INFO_2 structure. This structure contains the basic information about the printer such as its name, server name, port name, and share name. 7: Use to store the directory service information contained in the PRINTER_INFO_7 structure. c: Use to store the color profile information for a printer. d: Use to store printer specific data such as the printer’s hardware ID. s: Use to store the printer’s security descriptor. g: Use to store the information in the printer’s global DEVMODE structure. m: Use to store the minimal settings for the printer. This is equivalent to specifying 2, d, and g. u: Use to store the information in the printer’s per user DEVMODE structure.
/Sr	Specifies what information about a printer is restored and how conflicts in settings are handled. Use with the following values placed at the end of the command line: 2: Use to restore the information contained in the printer’s PRINTER_INFO_2 structure. This structure contains the basic information about the printer such as its name, server name, port name, and share name. 7: Use to restore the directory service information contained in the PRINTER_INFO_7 structure. c: Use to restore the color profile information for a printer. d: Use to restore printer specific data, such as the printer’s hardware ID. s: Use to restore the printer’s security descriptor. g: Use to restore the information in the printer’s global DEVMODE structure. m: Use to restore the minimal settings for the printer. This is equivalent to specifying 2, d, and g. u Use to restore the information in the printer’s per user DEVMODE structure. r: If the printer name stored in the file is different from the name of the printer being restored to, then use the current printer name. This cannot be specified with f. If neither r nor f is specified and the names do not match, restoration of the settings fails. f: If the printer name stored in the file is different from the name of the printer being restored to, then use the printer name in the file. This cannot be specified with r. If neither f nor r is specified and the names do not match, restoration of the settings fails. p: If the port name in the file being restored from does not match the current port name of the printer being restored to, the printer’s current port name is used. h: If the printer being restored to could not be shared using the resource share name in the saved settings file, then attempt to share the printer with either the current share name or a new generated share name. If neither H nor h is specified and the printer being restored to cannot be shared with the saved share name, then restoration fails. h: If the printer being restored to cannot be shared with the saved share name, then do not share the printer. If neither H nor h is specified and the printer being restored to cannot be shared with the saved share name, then restoration fails. i: If the driver in the saved settings file does not match the driver for the printer being restored to, then the restoration fails.
