The Epson TM-U220 Receipt Printer is a dot matrix receipt printer that prints 3"-wide receipts on 1-ply, 2-ply or 3-ply roll paper. PPSS has been configured to work with Logic Controls' CR3000E Cash Drawer and this printer. The printer attaches to the PC and the cash drawer attaches to the printer. When the receipt is printed, the cash drawer opens. (The drawer may also be opened by pressing F12 in PPSS.)

Note: PPSS apparently works with the Epson TM6000II and the TM-T88V receipt printers even though PPSS has not been specifically configured for those printers.

Printer Setup

Please follow the setup instructions provided with the printer for connecting the printer and cash drawer to the PC, then, in PPSS, go to File, Program Setup, Printers. In the Print Receipts section, check 'Receipt Printer' (to let PPSS know a receipt printer will be used) and select the Epson printer from the drop-down box immediately below 'Receipt Printer' (to let PPSS know which printer to use).
