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 ethernet cable to connect the printer to network via a hub.
Use Epson TM-T88VI Utility for Windows, EpsonNet Config, or EpsonNet Config (Web version) to set net-
work.
For details on the network settings, see
"Network Settings" on page 65.
Be sure to install the driver before connecting the printer to the host computer.
The printer uses modular connectors specifically designed for the cash drawer. 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.
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 drawer kick cable or a standard telephone line cable to the Ethernet
port.
