Chapter 2 Setup
Connecting the Printer to the Host Device
USB Interface
When using the USB-C cable to connect with host device, connect the USB-C cable to the printer, and after
starting the host device, turn the printer on.
Bluetooth Interfaces (Bluetooth model)
Pair the printer with your device using the Bluetooth function of the device or using other methods.
Pairing the printer is also possible by using EPSON TM Bluetooth Connector (Windows) or Epson TM Utility
(iOS or Android).
Setting up from a Smart Device
How to connect a smart device to a printer via Bluetooth is also introduced in the video manual.
See
"Manuals for This Product" on page 10
for more details.
Necessary Items
Prepare the following items.
•
Smart device for setting: iOS or Android device
•
Do not place any weight or stress on the cable when using. Doing so could damage the cable
and connectors.
•
Use a USB-C cable that complies with the USB 2.0 standard. Using a non-compliant cable may
cause the printer to malfunction due to static electricity.
•
If the host computer and the printer are not connected on a continuous basis but rather
connected every time the printer starts printing, some time may be needed for the printer to
actually start printing after the host computer commands printing. This pause is the time
required for processing the connection between the host computer and the printer, and it
depends on the conditions of the environment where used.
•
If data transfer from an application of the host computer has already been completed, data
might remain in the Bluetooth module internal buffer. Since data remaining in the buffer may
be discarded when the connection is disconnected, when disconnecting the wireless
connection immediately after printing, use status or other means to confirm that the
transmitted data has been printed reliably.
•
The default device name is TM-P80II_xxxxxx. The "xxxxxxxx" is the last 6 digits of the printer
serial number. The device name can be edited using theTM-P80II Utility or Epson TM Utility.
•
The default Bluetooth security level is "Middle". For information on the Bluetooth security
settings, see
"Interface Setup Mode" on page 76
