1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1.1 Product Description This specification describes the Ethernet Ver. IV Module for the EPSON printers. 1.2 Product Design The E4 product is the latest generation of Ethernet products for the EPSON line of printers. The E4 was designed to replace the function limited E3 and the higher priced E2 modules all a cost objective that meets the same delivered price as the E3 module. 1.3 Compatability Overview The E4 module was designed for a Retail POS specific environment.

2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Figure – 1 - Printer with module connected to PC system PC STATION 10BaseT Data Cable E IV Module Printer 2.
2.2 LED Indicator When the module comes up it will initially blink at a rapid rate – After that, there are 5 modes of blinking: 1. 3 Blinks per second means there is no Ethernet Cable connected. 2. 20 Blinks per second on module initialization unless 10base-T connection. 3. Solid ON means that there IS a LINK 10base-T (but no data). 4. 50ms blink for data. 5. Solid OFF means the unit is NOT functioning. 2.3 Dip Switch Settings The E4 has 4 user accessible dipswitches (SW1) on the front panel of the module.
2.4 Junper Settings The E4 has 2 on-board jumpers as shown in Figure 3. JP1 JP2 ON – Reconfigure to factory default settings ON – Not Defined OFF – Normal OFF – Not Defined 2.4.1.1.1 Using JP1 to Return to Default Settings JP1-ON forces the module to use the factory default settings for configuration. All settings are returned to their default values. The unique, factory assigned Ethernet Address and Serial Number are maintained. To use JP1, turn the power off to the printer.
The OPOS architecture is based on the following constructs: • Device Class A device class is a category of POS devices that share a consistent set of properties, methods, and events. Examples are Cash Drawer and POS Printer. • Control Object (CO) A Control Object exposes a set of properties, methods, and events to an application for its device class. This allows the CO to be developed independently of the SO's for the same class – including development by different companies.
closed. A configurable parameter is provided to allow receipt of this type of connection on an alternate port number. 2.6.4 Configuration and Control Protocols The Ethernet IV module supports the following communications protocols for its configuration and control applications: • HTTP Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol provides connectivity for web-page formatted communication • Discovery Network discovery protocol – The Discovery Protocol for Ethernet IV is available upon request.
2.7 Module Configuration 2.7.1 Remote Configuration The Ethernet IV provides two mechanisms for module configuration. • EEIUtil4 EEIUtil4 is a Windows based utility program used for test, firmware upgrade, and parameter configuration. • Epson printer Web interface configuration The interface’s Web configuration supports Ethernet IV module configuration via standard Internet browser. 2.7.1.1 EEIUtil4 (Epson Ethernet Interface Utility) See Appendix C for EEIUtil4 instructions 2.7.1.1.
2.7.1.2 Printer Setup Web Configuration 2.7.1.2.1 Operating Environment The Epson Printer Setup Web Configuration interfaces with the following Internet browsers: • Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater • Netscape Navigator 7.0 or greater 2.7.1.2.
2.8 Module Status The Ethernet IV module passes most control and maintenance information transparently between the printer and the application. A subset of status information is maintained and reported by the Ethernet IV module. On printer power-up, the module solicits the printer for basic information and enables ASB (Auto Status Back) functionality. This instructs the printer to transmit status information when the status changes. The module maintains these statuses and others.

2.8.3 Epson Self-Test By holding down the “FEED” button while powering on the printer, the Epson printer prints a printer self test. This provides more detailed printer information and – on select printers – also provides some basic module information.
