EPSON Receipt Printer Troubleshooting

If your test page fails to print, you most likely have one or more conflicting ports configured. Please follow the steps

below.

1. Select Start | Control Panel | Printers and

Faxes.

2. Right-click on the EPSON Kitchen Printer and

select Properties.

Note: If you have more than one of the same

kitchen printer listed (e.g. EPSON TM-U220 Receipt

and EPSON TM-U220 Receipt(1), delete all except

the unnumbered listing. Right-click on the

duplicate printer name(s) and select Delete.

3. Select the Ports tab.

Check the first corresponding port for the printer

that you have (e.g. ESDPRT001, 192.168.192.168).

4. Select the General tab.

Select Print Test Page if the test page prints

correctly, you can return to the CRE/RPE software

and configure the printer there.

If the test page still does not print correctly, return

to the Ports tab and continue from Step 4 above

with the next unchecked corresponding printer

port.
