2. Connect power cables, turn on printer and connect USB to your laptop
3. Open virtual port driver, select port and click assign port:
4. Select the device and click ok:
5. Check the printer by clicking test print. This will only print a very small slip displaying the comms port you are printing from. You may need to click test print a few times to see the paper appear from the printer:
6. Log in to S-360 and go to Hardware Families to make sure you have receipt printer set up:
7. Create a paper format with the compatible printer of EPSON TM-88 (note, no other EPSON printers are compatible with this).
8. Go to workstations. If a workstation is not yet set up for the user, click new, and set one up, then navigate to Hardware. If workstation is already set up, double click in to the workstation and navigate to hardware section:
9. In the hardware section, configure a new printer with the following settings:
- Type: Printer
- Sub Type: Ticket
- Hardware: EPSON TM-T88
- Ticket Size: (Paper format you configured in previous step)
When assigning the port, make sure this is the same port that you configured in Step 3):

11. After doing this, it is best to restart device drivers for S-360.
12. Configure a thermal ticket template the matches the size of the receipt paper:
- Less than 5 inches (otherwise tickets will NOT be resized to fit the paper size)
- Only use simple images (big or complex images will impact the printing quality)
13. Configure tickets model (with the configured ticket format, ticket template and hardware type ) and attach to the product. The ticket support must be thermal printer and not receipt printer:
14. Go to the sales reservation screen and put through a test product to ensure the receipt printer is working
