Connecting the Printer to the Host
USB Interface
When using USB cable to connect with host device, connect the USB cable to the printer, and after starting
the host device, turn the printer on.
Ethernet Interface
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to a network via a hub.
Use Epson EpsonNet Config to set network. For details about EpsonNet Config, refer to EpsonNet Config
Operations Guide.
The printer uses a modular connector specifically designed for the cash drawer or for the
customer display. Do not connect these connectors to an ordinary telephone line.
• Do not place any weight or stress on the cable when using. Doing so could damage
the cable and connectors.
• To prevent disconnection of the USB cable, secure the cable to the hook on the
locking wire saddle as shown below.
• When LAN cables are installed outdoors, make sure they are connected through
devices that have surge protection.
Otherwise, the devices can be damaged by lightning.
• Never attempt to connect the customer display cable, the drawer kick cable, or a
telephone line cable to the LAN connector.
As same with Conventional models, you can use EpsonNet Config (Web version) in the
same way.
