Yes, it does. The esc commands support it.

From France, Please can you tell me if I could print some patterns that I would draw and scan on my computer. patterns that will not exceed 8 centimeters in width. Thanks you

Hey man thank you for the useful demonstration, i bought 7 of these for my company, unfortunately i did not get the ethernet ones which is what i needed. I'm using them for an ipad POS app, and your method of using the USB cable with some sort of access point gives me hope, because i did not find any RS232 solution that works with my system. I'm just wondering how do i get the ip address of the printer once i connect it to an access point via USB, i would be grateful if you could help.

@Siberian79 6 лет назад

Which software did you use for printing?

@sesquialtera2443 2 месяца назад

Is real shit without driver

@dkrebornanytime3036 Год назад

Does it with Clover or square?

@Linus007 Год назад

I have not tested either.

@waterfirelord 5 лет назад

I can use this printer without any pos system. Just use as print payments information.

@Linus007 7 лет назад

I have a new video posted that goes into depth the process that created the weather reports. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s11voGDejJI.html

Hi my printer did not show any error but dont feed paper.. what must be the problem?

@Linus007 Год назад

But I cannot diagnose errors for printers outside of my own environment.

hi, interesting if i have PHP webapp in local server , how i can link this device by IP with my PHP webapp to print receipt ? also i will use many device ( in kitchen , costumer service, also cashier ) i want to print from ipad when i browse my webapp

@Linus007 8 лет назад

I am not sure if you can do this or not. I do not have enough information and the scope of this video is to demonstrate its use. There are a lot of PHP applications out there that will do what you are asking. Thanks.

Can i use smaller thermal papers?

@Linus007 10 месяцев назад

Yes, it supports 58 mm or 80 mm paper.

@q3dev 9 дней назад

@sriframes9784 8 лет назад

Can I connect with USB and Parallel simultaneously ?

@Linus007 8 лет назад

It is physically possible, but I cannot test this since I no longer have any computers with a Parallel port.

@sriframes9784 8 лет назад

:) yes it is physically possible. I want to use from two different PCs simultaneously ?

@Linus007 8 лет назад

Sorry, I cannot test this. Perhaps someone watching can reply here and help you out.

@onelovespiritualorganizati7025 4 года назад

My 80mm thermal printer automatic has failed to cut and print why???

@Linus007 4 года назад

Without much information I do not think I am able to diagnose the issue with your printer. Some things to check would be the configuration in your software that tells your printer to cut.

@williamsmw9653 7 лет назад

I am using Windows 10 os default driver software once I brought the printers they gave one CD by using that CD I install driver

@STEVEWONDA1976 7 лет назад

I found one of these in an opened box but looks complete and seems to work fine. I have a question. What is the black plastic thing with the little strip of metal on it? It came taped to the top styrofoam box insert. It's a little smaller than a CD. Thanks.

@Linus007 7 лет назад

STEVEWONDA1976 That black thing is to hold a smaller width (58 mm) roll of paper in place.

@realdamageboy 7 лет назад

My printer is not automatically cutting paper after print, how can I set this option?

@Geileguru 3 года назад

Do the letters/numbers on the paper fade away after a certain period of time?

@Linus007 3 года назад

It depends on the the storage conditions. In sunlight, it will fade. Packed away at 20 C and it may last for a much longer time.

@jessgonzalez3219 5 лет назад

good evening my printer is printing blurry would you happen to know why... can you help fix problem... thanks

@Linus007 5 лет назад

Jess Gonzalez Are you seeing blurry text and images or just a blurry image? I’m assuming that you are sending text and images to the printer and not just an image. Some people put text in an image and this can happen. The printer needs at least 80 dots per centimetre or 203 dots per inch resolution in order to produce the image without pixelation.

@qiuliu219 8 лет назад

You mentioned the UB-E03 ethernet interface. I also have this printer and bought a UB-E03. But I couldn't swap the interface (the RS-232 is attached by two one-way screws). Anyone had luck with swapping the interface?

@Linus007 7 лет назад

The one way screws are to prevent a change. The model that you have does not allow the swap.

Yes.

@meadowsminimart8737 5 лет назад

/ Hi, i have setup everything, but still says printer not available Why

@Linus007 5 лет назад

I think that you need to provide a little bit more detail. What operating system are you using? I assume that the printer is not available from near a printer devices list. Have you rebooted your computer? More information would be good.

@Linus007 4 года назад

ENZO88SPEED With Windows programs, you can use the print driver like any other printer. With python you can print a formatted file or send escpos commands.

@@Linus007 you just have saved me so much time.... your video is only video that demonstrates that opion.. do you think it will be also possible to do the same printing on windows with a bit newer model TM-T88V?

My printer it dose not cut automatically it print full size like A4 sheet height after that it cut . Can you help me?

@Linus007 7 лет назад

williams mw This depends on a lot of factors. What print driver are you using and what OS? There is a setting that will cut the paper after the last text or image at the bottom of the paper.

Can it print pdf file? Or only runs with command software?

@Linus007 5 лет назад

Yes. Just make sure the pdf is 79 mm wide. See my other video on how to convert a markdown file to a printable format.

Is there any other cheap model in Epson that can also print pdf by adjusting size?l

This is one of the least expensive 80 mm thermal printers.

@davids9139 7 лет назад

How'd you set up your computer to print a weather report like that?

@Linus007 7 лет назад

I am using IFTTT to read the weather from Yahoo.com's website. The data is written as a PHP file to dropbox. I have a CRON job on a Linux Server that looks for files in a dropbox folder and sends them to the receipt printer. This is for the php to escpos commands. github.com/mike42/escpos-php Autoprint new files in Linux: LinuxQuestions.org Search for Auto print new files in folder My process is fairly complex and it took a long time to write it. I am sure it is write only code. :)

@davids9139 7 лет назад

Thank You Sir! I knew cron would be in there somewhere. It would be neat to create a setup that prints out useful content like you have and maybe some other stuff to go with it (random inspirational quote, bible verse, etc.). I'm using the 58mm width paper, so I have a bit of a challenge with formatting content. I'll look into the information and see what I can find out. Thanks again! :)
