The combined operation of the function driver and Acpi.sys is device-specific and is defined in the ACPI BIOS by the hardware vendor. In general, the function driver and Acpi.sys access particular areas in an operation region to perform device-specific operations and retrieve information. For more information, see Supporting an Operation Region. Select driver language Windows 10 (32-bit only) Mouse and Keyboard Center 11. Windows 10 (64-bit only).

Cabling
Micros controllers supports up to 15 IDN devices along the same RS422 line. The IDN card must have a unique printer ID on the line. The card containsa series of switches that let you set the device ID from the default value of 1.

IDN cards use RS-422 patch cords

Tech Tip: Regular Serial (RS-232) versusRS-422
Though they are both serial protocols there is a differencebetween RS-232 and RS-422. RS-422 supports multi-drop, meaningmore than 1 printer can exist on the physical line. RS-232(9-pin serial) is single drop. RS232 cannot communicate withRS422 other without a converter. All RS422 cable runs should be4000 feet or less, and all RS232 cable runs should be 50 feet orless. In environments with a high level of EMI, shorter runs maybe required.
Note:
Some of the patch cords used by MICROS IDN devices use a 6-PinRJ11 connector. Never plug this connector into an 8-pin RJ45jack. The smaller body of the 6-pin connector can push pins 1and 8 into the shielding around the jack, rendering the portinoperable.

Tech Tip: IDN Loopback Test
The IDN interface is a balanced RS-422 serial connection. A loopback test is a good way to test if the IDN is working.The test checks to see if the transmit and receive lines ofthe printer card are functioning by tying or looping thetransmit line to the receive line on the card.
Making a loopback plug:Use an RJ25 (6P6C) male connector, or female jackwith a cable. Wire pin 2 topin 4, and pin 3 to pin 5;pin 1 is ground, and is not needed for this test.Note: pin 1 is the rightmost pin when RJ25 plug is held withplug end facing you, cable away from you, and locking clipfacing down.
Simple DIY loopback plug
To use this plug in a test, use the following procedure:
(1) Turn OFF the TM-T88/TM-U220 printer
(2) On the IDN interface in back, turn ON dip switch #7 (IDNself test)
(3) Plug loopback test plug into either IDN port. Make sure printer has paper
(5) Turn ON printer. This will run the IDN self test.
(6) The resulting print-out will give the results of theIDN self test including the loopback test. Look for the 'LoopBack With Test Plug' results towards the bottom ofthe list.

With RS-422 multi-drop printers can be'threaded' along the same RS422 line through a series of incoming andoutgoing patch cords. The last printer on the line does not require areturn.

The NetworkCluster Controller provides a means of using CAT 5 distribution with IDN(RS422 printer connection)

The right side of the patch panel shows an example of how to create adaisy chain or multi-drop line for IDN Printers. Each IDN printer(with the exception of the last printer in the line) requires a pair ofpatch cords to attach to the pair of Category 5 cableruns.

Installation Steps forInstalling Micros IDNAdapter

1. Disconnect power and other cables from the EPSON printer, andremove the printer DIP switch cover plate.
2. Remove the existing interface board from the printer by unscrewing 2 screws.
3. Properly align and push the new module into the printer. Fasten the twomounting screws through the faceplate of the new interface.
4. Set printer DIP switches as necessary; then attach the access cover.
5. Set the IDN DIP switches as necessary.
6. Connect the power cable to the printer and apply power.
7. Run a configuration report. This shows that the printer, module, and firmwareare all installed and operating correctly and shows how the communicationparameters are set.


The IDN adapter can replace the existing adapter andis held in place by 2 screws.

Note: If changing a printer to MicrosIDN you must change the specific dip switch on theEpson printer to allow for the Micros IDN card.

Getting Initial Printer andIDN Adapter Settings
Get the initial settings of the Micros IDN adapter. Run the printer self test (hold downthe feed button while turning on the printer). The printer will print a list ofinitial settings including interface type and buffer capacity. verify that theinterface is 'Micros IDN'

A similar test can them be done onthe IDN adapter:
Faceplate of IDN adapter, DIP switch 7 is theleftmost switch in this view

  1. Turn OFF printer

  2. Locate the series of 7 smallswitches on the faceplate of the IDN card

  3. Set module DIP switch #7 to ON

  4. Turn ON printer (don't pressany buttons)

  5. After power on. the printerprints the diagnostic printout

  6. Power OFF the printer

  7. Reset DIP switch #7 to OFF

A strip will print showing theversion of the interface card, the character set in use and the switchconfiguration of the IDN card. If the test strip does not print, check the switch settings on both the printer and the IDN card.

Setting Address - DIP Switch Settings on IDNCard
The 7 position DIP switch can be onthe front panel of the IDN
Switch 1-4
determines the ID printer(1-15, default ID is 1).
A unique ID is needed when you have 2 or more printers daisy chained.
Switch 5-6 set the baud rate of the IDN interface (default is 9600 baud)
Switch 7 is used to run the diagnostic test (default is off)

Configuration of Epson Series Printers to work with the IDN card
The Micros IDN module only supports 9600,19200 and 38400 baud. The printer and the Micros IDN module must have the samebaud rates to communicate. The printer must be configured like a serialinterface. These settings change the printer to 9600 baud (8bits, No parity, DTR/DSR handshaking)with a small receive buffer


Note: The Micros IDN module only supports 9600, 19200 and 38400 baud. Theprinter and the Micros IDN module must have the same baud rates to communicate.For TM-T88IV settings use the TM-88III settings - see here.

Confirm the initial settings of the Printer
Run the printer self test (hold downthe feed button while turning on the printer). The printer will print a list ofinitial settings including interface type and buffer capacity. Verify that theinterface is 'serial' for the Micros IDN adapter.

Self-Test - Running a Configuration Report

To Run the Config Report

  1. Power on the printer,

  2. Open the papercover,

  3. press the FEED button,

  4. Close the paper cover.

The configuration report will nowprint. It should include information such as the MAC address, the IP address andthe gateway address. After printing, don't forget to return DIP switch 1 to theoff position.

For the EPSON TM-U200 printer:
Set DIP switch 1 on the Micros IDN Moduleto ON and power up the unit. After report has printed, power off unit and returnDIP switch to the OFF position.

Installing the Device Driversfor Windows

Contact Micros for drivers for theIDN card.
There are no Windows drivers available for IDN card from Epson.

Connectivity Problems, never printed

  • The IDN address is wrong or is a duplicate. Check switchsettings on the IDN card.

  • The printer or the interface card is defective. Confirmprinter operation with self-test.Confirm interface card by swapping with another interface card or printer.

Prints Garbage

  • If printer prints random characters and beeps, it may be anindication that the DIP switches on the bottom of the printerare set incorrectly. The printer DIP switches are located on the bottom ofthe printer behind a small metal hatch that is held in place by a singlePhilips screw. for a TM-T88V, switches 1-2 1-7 and 2-7 should be onand the rest off. See the above picture for reference and colored thecorrect switch position in red. Up, away from the numbers, is on and down isoff. Please make sure each switch is fully up or down, as being partiallyswitched can also cause a problem.

  • The interface settings are not the same on both the printerand computer. Run the printer self testto show the current settings on the printer. Check the computer side to seethat interface is parallel. Settings can be changed on the printerusing the DIP switches on the underside of theprinter

  • The printer selected in the software is not correct or thesoftware doesn't support the printer in use.


No longer prints

  • The TM printer is turned off. Turn on the TM printer.Confirm the connection of the power supply unit or the voltage of thecommercial power.

  • The TM printer is offline. Turn the TM printer online.

  • The ERROR LED of the TM printer is on or flashing.Remove the error cause.

  • The printing port of the driver on the computer sideis not specified correctly. Confirm the driver setting on the computer side.

  • The printer is not online in Windows. Check the status ofthe printer in the Windows Control Panel, the printer should show status asready. Tip: try stopping and restarting the Print Spooler fromthe Services applet of the Control Panel.

Printing is slow

  • There are problems with the computer. Printingspeed may go down due to problems with the network system or applications.Run the printer self test to confirm the printer is capable of printing atits normal speed.
