Before you begin

Ensure the printer has been installed according to the installation instructions that came with the printer. If the printer uses a USB interface, you must also install the Epson TM Virtual Port Driver which is included on the Epson driver CD in the following location (assuming your CD-ROM drive is the "D" drive):

D:\Windows\TM Virtual Port Driver\EN\TMVirtualPortDriver500aE.exe.

See <insert link to Configuring Epson USB docket printers> has detailed instructions on installing the Epson TM Virtual Port Driver.
