Receipt Printer Installation

One receipt printer can be installed on each terminal running Amigo Point of Sale. Adding a receipt printer correctly is vital to a successful installation. The following instructions describe the process of manually setting up a typical receipt printer (Epson TM-T88III) with a parallel or serial interface.

Printers with a USB interface generally require the manufacturer's device drivers to work correctly. For the Epson TM printer, download and install the Epson Advanced Printer Driver to automatically install and configure your Epson thermal receipt printer. The Epson Advanced Printer Driver is freely downloadable at http://www.epsonexpert.com. For Star TSP series printers, download drivers at the Star Micronics driver download page.
