Localisation (L10n) of POS application is straightforward. You only have to provide your locale properties files in \applications\pos\config\.

1. First, replace the modules in back of the printer
2. While the printer is unplugged from power, you must change the "reset" dip-switch (2-7) from off to on.
3. Power on the printer, and plug it into the network.
4. As per the "UB-E02 Technical Reference Guide." (get it, you'll need it) use the switch button on the Ethernet module to set the ROM back to factory defaults. This will also print a settings page afterward, and let you know the subnet / ip address that you'll need to know to configure the printer.
5. Use the Epson TMNet WINconfig utility on a Windows box (sorry! there is NO linux utility!) Set the PC on the same subnet, and set your gateway as the default IP address of the printer.
6. Change the settings of the printer (once connected) to suite your environment.
7. Add the printer to Epson JavaPOS with SetupPOS.sh using the IP address and info that you set previously.
8. Test with CheckHealth
9. Add printer to pos-containers.
10. start and test OFBIZ...You will receive the error at the bottom of the page. I think it's from something in the deviceloader that is able to check through serial and not though Ethernet! Nothing I wanted to fiddle with though, It works just fine and fast!
    FYI....DO NOT use a passthrough drawer on Ethernet printers, or customer displays. It mentioned this several times in all of the technical guides.
    ***IF YOU HAVE A CASH DRAWER CONFIGURED, AND UNPLUGGED WHILE TESTING, YOU WILL RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING ERROR*** (although it doesn't affect anything, and the application still starts)
