Features of the Virtual Port driver include:

  • Simple Replacements- If a TM printer malfunctions and isreplaced by an identical or compatible model, the communications
    module automatically detects and reconfigures settings, sodrivers and applications do not need to
    be set-up again.

  • Serial Line Emulation - The virtual portincludes serial port signal line emulation. In cases where the serial signal line is controlledby the application, replacement with a USB interface TM printeror customer display can be performed without altering theapplication.

  • Compatibility with Ethernet Interfaces - If EpsonNet Config or TMNet WinConfig isinstalled on the computer, the IP address of the TM printer can
    be set from the setting screen of Virtual Port Driver.

  • Next install the Epson TM Virtual port utility. This will allow you to map theUSB printer to a virtual serial port.

    uniCenta Printer Configuration

    After connecting the printer to the computer you canopen the uniCenta configuration section and configure the printer.In uniCenta the configuration is separate from the main uniCenta POSapplication.
    In this example, we are using a TM-T88 printer connected to serialport, COM5. See the settings for 'Printer' below.
    It appears that the driver requires that you use the filemode for printing.
