The utility is called “EPSON TMNet WinConfig”, and it's easy to install. ”some number”.Īfter doing some more research on the internet, I discovered a free utility from Epson I could download that would let me configure a new IP address in the printer's internal settings. All the other IP addresses on the LAN were 192.168.1. That would explain why it had not appeared in the list of detected printers when I was using the “Add a printer” utility. That worked fine and I discovered from the subsequent printout that this printer's IP address was set to 192.168.192.168. I began doing some research online and found I could print the internal settings of the Epson TM-T88IV printer by pressing down on the printer's “Feed” button as I powered on the printer. Then I realized I had to get the 192.168.1.222 IP address into the new receipt printer I was trying to set up. With the old Epson TM-T88III printer, we had been using an assigned IP address of 192.168.1.222 to make it work on the local network. I had already installed the Epson printer driver for this model, so I just figured this part would be a piece of cake – not so! I waited and waited for the IP address of the soon to be networked bar printer to appear in the list of detected printers but to no avail. I then clicked on the “Add a printer” link at the top of the screen to install it as a network printer. It arrived nearly a week later so I returned to the restaurant to set it up on their Local Area Network (LAN).Īfter connecting the new printer to the LAN's ethernet cable, I went into the “Devices And Printers” section of the Windows 7 laptop computer where I was going to set it up on. I found a decent deal on an Epson TM-T88IV thermal ethernet receipt printer on eBay, so the restaurant manager and I agreed to buy it. It eventually wore out due to wear from years of service in a busy restaurant. They had been using an Epson TM-T88III thermal receipt printer as a networked bar printer. I recently had one of my 'fix my computer' appointments for a restaurant customer of mine in the local area. It is also known as a “kitchen printer” because of its rugged durability and tolerance for heat, it is regarded as a very dependable workhorse printer.

The Epson TM-T88IV thermal receipt printer is commonly used in restaurants everywhere.
