How to setup the Epson JavaPOS ?
To find the last available Epson JavaPOS ADK use www.epson-pos.com
Here I want to explain a little about how to setup the Epson JavaPOS ADK for TM printer:
On WindowsXP, and I believe the process on Linux is similiar
- Install the JavaSE which version you like. I use jdk1.5.0_09;
- Then installed the "Epson JavaPOS ADK 1.82" (or 1.81, 1.80, any version suppor jpos18-control; and copy the "epsonJposService182.jar, epsonJposServiceCommon.jar" to /ofbiz/applications/pos/lib;
- NOTE:
- Epson JavaPOS program will also install the Jars in JavaHome/jre/lib/ext so if you get conficts look there and resolve the driver versions. like jpos111.jar and in the ofbiz like you might have jpos182.jar
- if you are running more than one instance of ofbiz then it is best to have the drivers just in Ofbiz, so remove the SetupPOS.properties as well
- NOTE:
- Now modified the jpos.xml file, under /ofbiz/applications/pos/config; I post a sample here:
It uses a TM-U220D on COM1 port, please remember to keep the jpos182 or 180 same as the file you using under ./pos/lib;

</JposEntry> - Install Java CommAPI 2.0, copy the comm.jar to j2se or j2re 's /lib/ext folder.
and copy the javax.comm.properties to j2se or j2re's /lib folder;
and copy the win32com.dll to /windows/system32. - Modifiy the pos-containers.xml, which under /framework/base/config:
to make the <property name="Receipt" value="TM-U220D" /> value same as you defined in jpos.xml file.
Now launch with java -jar ofbiz.jar -pos, and enjoy it!
Successful TCP / Ethernet Epson printer implementation
- First, replace the modules in back of the printer
- While the printer is unplugged from power, you must change the "reset" dip-switch (2-7) from off to on.
- Power on the printer, and plug it into the network.
- 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.
- 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.
- Change the settings of the printer (once connected) to suite your environment.
- Add the printer to Epson JavaPOS with SetupPOS.sh using the IP address and info that you set previously.
- Test with CheckHealth
- Add printer to pos-containers.
- 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)
