Not applicable for RetailManager v12 and later

RetailManager v12 and later caters for Epson USB docket printers, so this support note only applies to earlier RetailManager versions.

 

This support note describes how to ensure your Epson USB docket printer is compatible with your Retail software. This process requires the installation of the EPSON TM Virtual Port Driver (available from https://download.epson-biz.com/?service=pos) and specifying the printer in your Retail software.

For current Epson printers on the market, the virtual driver 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.

For general help setting up a USB docket printer, see Retail Support - Setting up a USB docket printer in RetailManager.
