Host side USB Configuration

Windows Virtual Serial Port

Install driver TMVirtualPortDriver860a from public.efsta.com (Drivers).
Port assignment:

1. Click Port.No. COM18 / [Assign Port]
2. Assign Port / USB / A device is ... USB serial number
3. Select printer from list / [OK]
4. [Exit]
5. Enter COM18 on the EFR profile page

Alternatively: Windows over LIBUSB

For driver installation use LIBUSB utility "zadig", which can be downloaded from zadig.akeo.ie. zadig.exe (zipped) also is available on public.efsta.com (Drivers).
After starting the program select "TM-T800F TM-T900F" from the list. You may have to select "Options" > "List All Devices" before. Next click "Install Driver" or "Replace Driver".

Enter LIBUSB on the EFR profile page.

Linux

Everything is done with the installation of package libudev-dev.
In case of LIBUSB access errors the accessibility of USB interfaces has to be configured; e.g. insert in /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0201", MODE="0666"

Enter LIBUSB on the EFR profile page.

Epson FP Header Text and Logo

For configuration of the fixed header lines of the printer or logo graphs please install EpsonFpSuite on a separate machine (as Windows drivers of EFR and EpsonFpWizard may interfere).

Epson Payment Groups

We recommend using the efsta payment groups to ensure consistency across countries. However, the printer-specific payment groups can also be sent.

PayG - Index	Description
0-00	Cash
1-00	Cheque
2-00	Credit
2-XX	Credit Card XX: 01-10
3-00	Ticket
4-XX	Ticket with number
5-00	No payment
5-03	Receipt followed to Invoice
5-04	Invoiced
5-05	SSN receipt (Pharmacy) currently N.A.
6-00	Discount on payment (sconto a pagare)
6-01	Multi purpose voucher

If Pay.PayG contains only 1 digit, the default value 00 for the index is used by EFR.

Credit Card Handling

The EPSON printer can be programmed to support different credit cards and split them into different card types during Z-report. E.g: 2-01 for Visa, 2-02 for Mastercard.

Using the printers keyboard programming works as follows:

1. Enter 3333 + <CHIAVE> to enter SET menu
2. On SCELTA FUNZIONE enter 07
3. Enter the card number you want to program, e.g. 01
4. Press <CONTANTE>
5. Enter the description by entering the ASCII codes decreased by 32 for each character, e.g. 33 for A
6. The cursor can be moved with keys <X> and <VOID>, <STORNO> will delete the text
7. Press <CONTANTE> to confirm text
8. Exit menu with <CHIAVE>

Good to know

If you don’t want to split the credit cards, you can use 2-01 for all.

EPSON Error Codes

The following table details the individual error codes and some possible reasons:

Code	Error	Description
02	CARTA SCONTRINO	This is more of a warning rather than an error. Flag SET 14/11 activates or deactivates the warning. If activated and the paper is low, the printer generates this warning in response to the payment or closure commands. The UPOS fiscal driver automatically deactivates this warning; Paper status is determined through the regular printer status requests.
03	OFFLINE	The printer has gone offline (“ERROR” LED ON). Either the paper is empty or the cover has been opened.
09	DATA INVERIORE	Invalid past date entered. The date cannot be earlier than the date of the last fiscal closure report.
10	DATA ERRATA	Bad date format. E.g. 33022017.
11	SEQUENZA ERRATA	Command sequence not allowed. The command cannot be used at this point in the sequence. See examples below.
12	DATI INESISTENTI	Inexistent data. For example, attempting to use a PLU that has not been programmed.
13	VALORE ERRATO	Generic error. One or more fields contain an incorrect value.
14	PROG MATRICOLA	No fiscal serial number has been programmed.
16	NON PREVISTO	Generic error. An invalid index parameter or a non-existent H1 H2 command pair has been received.
17	IMPOSSIBILE ORA	Generic error. It is not possible to carry out the operation at this time.
18	NON POSSIBILE	Generic error. It is not possible to carry out the operation.
20	SUPERA VALORE	The amount is greater than the maximum allowed.
21	SUPERA LIMITE	A parameter value is outside the permitted range.
22	NON PROGRAMMATO	The printer has received a command that requires prior programming.
23	CHIUDI SCONTRINO	The maximum number of operations has been reached and the receipt must be either closed with a single payment or canceled. The current limit is around 1000 operations.
