Epson TM-T88 USB

Installing an Epson TM-T88 Series USB interface printer requires the Epson Advanced Printer Driver (APD), available at http://www.epsonexpert.com. The driver must be installed before connecting the printer. If you inadvertently connect the TM printer to the computer before installing the APD, delete the corresponding port driver and then, without connecting the TM printer, reinstall the printer driver. The following images are taken from APD version 4.56 installation.


Note: When using a serial, ethernet or parallel port printer, the APD is not required. Install the printer normally using the Windows Add Printer wizard with generic/text only drivers.





1. Disconnect the printer from the pos station


2. Download and unzip the driver installation package from http://www.epsonexpert.com. Run the file named APD_456E.exe. Choose Standard installation when prompted.
