Chapter 1 Product Overview
Useful Functions for Smart Devices
You can easily connect this product to the network by using the NFC tag built-in to the printer or the QR code printed on the status sheet.
NFC Tag
Bring a smart device that supports NFC close to the NFC tag to acquire the printer information (information for specifying the device).
Specify the target printer using the acquired information to connect to the network.
1
QR Code
Capture the QR code printed on the status sheet with the camera on your smart device to acquire the printer information (information for specifying the device).
Specify the target printer using the acquired information to connect to the network.
Programming using Epson ePOS SDK is required to use these functions. These functions are created by combining NFC touch and QR code capturing operations and the target printer specifications using Printer Easy Select API.
See the "Epson ePOS SDK for Android/iOS User's Manual" and the Epson ePOS SDK sample program for more details. The sample program also contains a sample implementation method for reading an NFC tag and capturing a QR code.
You can try a demo of these functions by using Epson TM Utility for iOS/Android.
21
Printing Using Multiple Interfaces
In models with multiple interfaces, you can use all interfaces without any limitations on which interface is to be used. You can use this function to temporarily connect a smart device to a nearby printer and print.
The printer provides each interface with an independent receive buffer and switches the active interface depending on the priority, while handling data in each receive buffer.
You can set one interface for the main connection. Data received from the main connection interface is handled with the highest priority.
By default, the interface that receives the first data transfer is set as the main connection interface; however, you can select the main connection interface in advance.
In the status where all receive buffers are empty for more than the set time (1 second by default), interface switching is enabled. The interface that receives the data in this status becomes active.
You can select the main connection interface and set the time to enable interface switching from the software settings. For details on software settings, see
"Software Settings" on page 43.

Bluetooth
Interface
Use a tool, such as a built-in
Bluetooth
connection tool of your device to establish the connection with the printer. If your device is a Windows computer, use EPSON TM
Bluetooth
®
Connector, which is a utility to easily pair a terminal and the printer. If your terminal is an iOS or Android terminal, use Epson TM Utility to easily pair your terminal and the printer.
If the host computer and the printer are not connected on a continuous basis but rather connected every time the printer starts printing, some time may be needed for the printer to actually start printing after the host computer commands printing. This pause is the time required for processing the connection between the host computer and the printer, and it depends on the conditions of the environment where used.
If data transfer from an application of the host computer has already been completed, data might remain in the
Bluetooth
module internal buffer. As such data remaining in the buffer might be lost when the connection is cut off, use the status or similar functions to check that transmitted data has been completely printed before cutting off the wireless connection.

Chapter 3 Advanced Usage
Network Settings
The following explains the procedure for network settings in order to connect the product to your network.
Setup methods
There are three methods for set up.
Method 1: Setup using EpsonNet Config
This method involves installing the network configuration tool, EpsonNet Config, on your computer for setting.
As it does not require any settings in advance to allow set up, you can easily perform set up using a computer already connected to the network.
Download EpsonNet Config from the Epson website.
Method 2: Setup using EpsonNet Config (Web version)
This method involves opening the Web application equipped in the printer from a Web browser to perform settings.
Because you specify the printer's IP address to open it, you need to set your computer to the same network segment as the printer.
With EpsonNet Config (Web version), you can set more items than with EpsonNet Config.
Method 3: Setup using arp/ping commands
This method involves setting the printer's IP address in the setting computer's arp/ping commands, then using the setting tool to change the other settings.
The setting computer must be in the same segment as the printer. Also, settings can be done only when the printer's arp+ping IP setting is set to Enable.
Use EpsonNet Config or EpsonNet Config (Web version) for settings other than the IP address.

Setup using EpsonNet Config
Execute EpsonNet Config, select the target printer from the displayed device list, then check and change the settings.
If the printer is still set to factory defaults, the printer's MAC address is listed up, even if the computer does not have the same network address.
The initial setting uses an IP address for the printer provided by a DHCP server. Since you cannot complete setup if there are conflicting IP addresses on the network, make sure that there are no other devices on the network that conflict with the IP address provided by the DHCP server. If a
DHCP server is not available, a fixed IP address (192.168.192.168) is set approximately one minute after turning on the printer. Also, if the Ethernet cable is not connected, connect the Ethernet cable and then run this process.
When DHCP is enabled, the provided IP address is printed automatically. However, if the Ethernet cable is not connected, and the Wireless LAN unit is not installed, printing is not performed.
1
Connect the printer to the same network as the computer where you installed
EpsonNet Config.
2
Start up EpsonNet Config.
The tool automatically detects printers connected to the network and displays a list.
It may take up to a minute for the printer to be displayed in the list.
If it is not displayed, check that [Filter] is set to "(All)" or "Network-connected devices", then click
[Refresh]. Or, select [Tools], then [Option], and check the settings of [Search Parameters].
3
Select the target printer, then click [Configuration].
If you cannot determine the target printer from the product name or the IP address, use the MAC address. You can check the printer's MAC address on the status sheet.
4
Change the printer's settings based on the network setting information you received from the network administrator.
Select an item from the menu and change the setting.
5
Once you set the necessary items, click [Transmit].
The changed contents are sent to the printer and the printer settings are changed.
For details about EpsonNet Config, see the manual (operation guide) installed together with the tool or the online help.
Chapter 3 Advanced Usage
Setup using EpsonNet Config (Web version)
Follow the steps below to start up EpsonNet Config (Web version), and check or change the settings.
When setting up using the EpsonNet Config (Web version), you need to set the network settings for the device to the same network segment as the printer you want to connect to.
The initial setting uses an IP address for the printer provided by a DHCP server. Since you cannot complete setup if there are conflicting IP addresses on the network, make sure that there are no other devices on the network that conflict with the IP address provided by the DHCP server. If a
DHCP server is not available, a fixed IP address (192.168.192.168) is set approximately one minute after turning on the printer. Also, if the Ethernet cable is not connected, connect the Ethernet cable and then run this process.
When DHCP is enabled, the provided IP address is printed automatically. However, if the Ethernet cable is not connected, and the Wireless LAN unit is not installed, printing is not performed.
1
Connect the setting computer and the printer to the same network.
2
Perform network settings on the computer so that it is in the same segment as the printer's IP address.

Application Development Information
This chapter describes how to control the printer and gives information useful for printer application development.
Controlling the Printer
The printer supports the following command systems:
ePOS-Print XML
ESC/POS
Users can control the printer by using the aforementioned commands, or the following development kits or drivers.
Epson ePOS SDK
ePOS-Print SDK
OPOS ADK
OPOS ADK for .NET
JavaPOS ADK
EPSON Advanced Printer Driver (APD)

ePOS-Print XML
ePOS-Print XML is the Epson original control command system for POS printers defined in XML. With ePOS-
Print XML commands, you can print in environments where http communication is available and from OS applications. For detailed information about ePOS-Print XML, see the ePOS-Print XML User's Manual.
4
ESC/POS
ESC/POS is the Epson original printer command system for POS printers and customer display. With ESC/POS commands, you can directly control all the TM-m30 printer functions, but detailed knowledge of printer specifications or combination of commands is required, compared to using drivers and applications.
For detailed information about ESC/POS commands, see the Product Specifications. Product Specifications is available after contracting the non-disclosure agreement with Epson. For details, please contact the selling agency.

This is a developer kit to control applications, native applications for smart devices, and printers. This includes libraries, manuals, and sample programs.
EPSON OPOS ADK for .NET
EPSON JavaPOS ADK
This OCX driver can control POS peripherals using OLE technology.*1
Because controlling POS peripherals with original commands is not required on the application side, efficient system development is possible.
The OPOS ADK for .NET is a POS industry standard printer driver compatible with
Microsoft POS for .NET. It allows you to develop applications that are compatible with the UPOS (Unified POS) specification. When developing applications, use a separate development environment such as Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.
JavaPOS is the standard specification which defines an architecture and device interface
(API) to access various POS devices from a Java based system. Using JavaPOS standard
API allows control with Java based applications of functions inherent to each device. A flexible design with Java language and JavaPOS enables many different types of computer systems, such as stand alone or network configuration, to use a same application. You can use JavaPOS to build applications and drivers independently of platforms. This allows flexible configurations using thin clients to meet the system requirements.
1: OLE technology developed by Microsoft divides software into part blocks. The OPOS driver is presupposed to be used with a development environment, such as Visual Basic, unlike ordinary Windows printer drivers. It is not a driver to be used for printing from commercial applications.
You can acquire documents regarding the UnifiedPOS from the following link.

Notes on Using the Wi-Fi Model
Keep the printer away from the devices, such as kitchen microwaves, that may cause radio wave interference.
Use channels that are away from the frequency bands that may cause radio wave interference.
Appendix
Place shields between the printer and the devices that may cause radio wave interference.
Select either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, whichever is free from radio wave interference.
In auto channel setting for the access point, do not select a channel in which the printer may cause radio wave interference.
Notes on Wi-Fi connection
Because not all the combinations of the printer and Wireless LAN units have been checked for operation, the operation of the printer in combination with all the Wireless LAN units is not guaranteed. Especially in the adhoc mode, the printer may not operate normally, depending on the combination of the device to connect with.
Be sure to carry out evaluation of the operation before use.
Notes on use
When you initialize or change the printer settings, the printer is reset to reflect the settings. It may take about
1 minute depending on the network settings or environment. Also, your application may indicate power off during the time waiting for reset. In that case, wait for about 1 minute, and then reconnect to the printer.
Where Wi-Fi communication is in heavy traffic, your application may falsely recognize that the communication is disconnected and indicate power off due to response delay. In that case, disable Power
Save to improve the trouble.

Auto Reconnect Feature
The auto reconnect feature allows the printer to automatically restore a connection in the following situations if the
Bluetooth
connection to the iOS device is lost.
When the printer is turned on
When the signal is dropped and then restored
The following shows the printer operations and connection methods when the auto reconnect feature is enabled or disabled.
Appendix
Auto Reconnect

Printer operations w h e n
Bluetooth
i s disconnected
Perform the following reconnection sequence.
[Reconnection sequence]
1. The printer tries to connect to the iOS device to which it was last connected.
2. When step 1 fails, the printer waits for connections from other devices.
3. If connection is not established in step 2, the printer tries again to connect to the iOS device to which it last connected.
Steps 1 and 2 are repeated until a connection is established.
Wait for a connection from the
Bluetooth
device.
Reconnecting to iOS device
Reconnect automatically.
Make settings on the
Bluetooth
settings screen on the iOS device.
Switch to connection from other device
Method 1:
After disabling the
Bluetooth
feature of the connected iOS device, make connection settings on the
Bluetooth
device that you want to connect.
(When the auto reconnect feature is enabled, it may take some time to connect.)
Method 2:
After disconnecting from the connected iOS device using applications with the TM Utility or
Epson ePOS SDK/ePOS-Print SDK disconnection feature, make settings on the
Bluetooth
device you want to connect.
In the following situations, even if the feature is enabled, the same operations are performed as when it is disabled.
- When pairing is canceled from the connected iOS device.
- When the last
Bluetooth
device connected was not an iOS device.
- When wireless communication settings are initialized from the printer.
Disable this feature when using the printer from devices that are not running iOS. Otherwise, it may take some time to connect.

Notes on use
Time required until printing starts
If the host computer and the printer are not connected on a continuous basis but rather connected every time the printer starts printing, some time may be needed for the printer to actually start printing after the host computer commands printing. This pause is the time required for processing the connection between the host computer and the printer.
After opening the port, leave an interval of 300 msec or more before sending data to the port.
Timing to shut the connection off
If a connection between the host computer and the printer is shut off while the printer is offline, it may not be re-established. In this case, first clear the printer offline causes, and then try to re-establish the connection.
Multi-tone printing
When performing multi-tone printing over
Bluetooth
, the print speed may fluctuate or intermittent printing may occur due to data transfer conditions, also the print shade may change or white lines may occur.
Interference from Wi-Fi
2.4 GHz Wi-Fi may interfere with
Bluetooth
communication. Using the optional Wireless LAN cable set (OT-
WLxx) with 2.4 GHz may disrupt
Bluetooth
communication or printing. 5 GHz Wi-Fi is recommended when using Wi-Fi with
Bluetooth
.
Notes when communicating with Android devices
The printer cannot connect to Android 2.3 and 2.3.2.
When communicating with Android 2.3.3 or later versions, communicate through an insecure connection.
Notes when communicating with iOS devices
Print data deletion and
Bluetooth
disconnections occur
Situation
Depending on the specifications of the iOS device, print data sent to the printer may be deleted. When this occurs, the
Bluetooth
connection between the printer and the iOS device is disconnected.
Conditions
This occurs when the printer is not ready to print, and 64 KB or more of print data is sent to the printer.
<Status in which the printer cannot print>
When the roll paper cover is open
When the paper is out
Solution
Do not send data to the printer if the printer is not ready to print.
For developers using the SDK from Epson, see the User's Manual - Chapter 3 Programming Guide - "Printing
After Checking the Printer Status".
Appendix
Since
Bluetooth
is disconnected when this occurs, if the auto reconnect feature is not enabled, you need to reconnect from the
Bluetooth
settings screen on the iOS device.
When using the SDK from Epson, this connection process is not necessary.
The iOS application cannot receive the data sent from the printer
Situation
Although the printer sends data to the iOS device and the data is received by the iOS device, depending on the combination of the iOS version and the iOS device, the iOS application may not be able to receive the data.
Conditions
This may occur in combinations of the following conditions.
iOS version: 7.1, 7.1.1
iOS device: iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPad Air, iPad mini 3, iPad (4th generation), iPad mini, iPod touch (5th generation), iPhone 4s, iPhone 4, iPad (3rd generation), iPad 2
Application processing: If the
Bluetooth
port is closed and then reopened while the application is running.
Solution
The solution differs depending on the iOS device being used. See the following table.
iOS Device
iPhone 4s iPhone 4 iPad (3rd generation) iPad 2
Solution
This situation can be avoided by using one of the following methods.
Using the ePOS-Print SDK for iOS which is included in the ePOS-Print SDK Release
14.06.30E or later package
Using the Epson ePOS SDK for iOS

The values above may vary slightly as a result of paper slack or variations in the paper. Take this into account when setting the cutting position of the autocutter.
When removing cut paper, the remaining roll paper is pulled at the uncut section and the pitch of the next print may be reduced. When printing after cutting paper for prints with no pitch reduction, feed the paper about 1 mm {16/406 inches} before printing. When the Pre-feed before next print function is enabled, this operation is performed automatically. See
