Is anyone using an Epson TM-T80
It is a serial printer and I can get it working by using the TM-T88II driver and Aprint but it prints a couple of erraneous symbols before the text and I can't get the cutter to operate in any POS prog.
I want use use Dale's POS but can't get the cash drawer to fire.
Epson does not have a driver for it and haven't yet replied to my email asking for advice.

The cash drawer will need to have an Epson specific interface.
What operating system are you using?

I am running XP. I am just about to test it in Win98. I'll let you know if it works.
The printer has an RJ11 interface. The cash drawer works in other POS software, but the cutter does not.

ianmccon,
Have you loaded the printer drivers for your printer? Can you use your word processing program to print on your printer? Then you use APRINT have you selected your printer for APRINT to print to?

The problem is that I can't find drivers for the TM-T80. It will print fine with the T88ii driver. I can print with Aprint running.
The only problem that I have is the cash drawer. It works Ok with Cash Register Express.
I was hoping that someone may have a driver for the TM-T80 even if it meant running Win95.
hmm

The nearest printer to the T80 is the T85, but looking at the Epson POS website it does'nt list anything previous to the T88II
Do you have these drivers: "Epson Advanced Printer Driver for TM Series Ver. 2.10E" - I have'nt installed them on my system to check, but perhaps an older version will be compatible.
It will only cut if you use the partial cut printer option setup in Printer properties. The cutter options in DH-POS are'nt applicable, nor are the cash drawer codes i'm afraid.
I will look into it though!

Hi Alan
I've tried earlier versions of the Epson drivers but the T80 isn't in any of them.
Do you mean the Windows printer properties?
yes

Yeah, under Windows printer properties you should find options for the cutter.

Hi again,
Never noticed you were from the North!
I "think" that the partial cut thing is actually a driver in its own right.. Its ages since I had my Epson T88 attached for playing with!
I'm sure there was a different driver called "Epson T88II Partial Cut"? I could be getting confused with the Epson OPOS drivers..
