EPSON Mobilink TM-60 Printer

(Maitre'D 2003, from Service Pack 3 and later versions of Maitre'D)
First install the TMNet WinConfig configuration utility from EPSON that will allow to change wireless Ethernet and TCP/IP settings through a serial connection. Connect the TM60 to the computer using the supplied serial cable. The connector is situated on the left side of the printer, at the back of the unit. Start the TMNet WinConfig software installed with the default options.

If other workstations need to access this printer, create a Shared printer under and assign printouts in the workstations accordingly.
Troubleshooting note: If the printer does not print the jobs being sent to it, the first thing would be to "Ping" it from the server. If you can not ping it, verify the settings in printer. Make sure that you are working with the right addresses and Subnet mask. Also make sure that the serial cable is disconnected from the printer. If you can ping it, verify your settings in the Maitre'D Back Office Software. If the printer looses its connection to the access point, it will beep 5 times, and the power light will keep flashing until it reconnects. Once reconnected, it will stop flashing, but it must be reset to re-establish its connection.
