The following are installation tips for installing the TMT88V receipt printer and APG 4000 cash drawer on Windows 8/10.
- Install the Advanced Printer Driver v4.5. The v5 driver did not work with Windows 8, Windows 10, at the time of testing. Here is the download for the Epson TMT88V Driver V4.59E for Windows 10
- During the driver install configure the driver to use a USB port.
- Follow the steps below to make sure the USB port is activated on the printer.
- Make sure you have the correct cable between the printer and the cash drawer. It looks like a normal phone cable, but it’s not. The cable is specifically designed to connect Epson printers to APG 4000 cash drawers and the right (labeled) end needs to be in the printer. Use interface cable part number CD-101A to connect the Cash Drawer to your TM-T88V receipt printer.
- Don’t put the cable into the Ethernet jack on the back of the printer. The cable fits there, but won’t work. The correct cash drawer jack can be found under the printer.
Activating the USB Port on the TMT88V
First, the USB port is located under a plate on the back of your printer, to the right of the power connection, held on with a single screw. Remove the screw and plate to access the USB port.
