1. Overview
1.1 About EPSON TMCOMUSB Serial Emulation Driver
This driver is a serial-USB conversion driver to make an EPSON TM/BA/EU printer and DM-D Customer
display connected via USB accessible from a POS application through virtual COM ports.
Without making changes in the POS application that controlled devices connected through serial interfaces,
devices connected via USB can be directly controlled with ESC/POS commands.
1.2 Automatic device assignment function

This function is added to TMCOMUSB Ver.2.00 and after. Thanks to this function, when a new device is
connected or the existing device is replaced, you do not need to perform device assignment by using COM
Assignment Tool; the first recognized device is automatically assigned to the COM port specified in
advance.
Example:
COM3 was specified in advance.
PC
POS application
1When Printer A is connected, Printer A is assigned.

2When Printer B is connected instead of Printer A, Printer B is
COM3
assigned.
TMCOMUSB
3When Printer A and Printer B are connected at the same time, the first
recognized printer is assigned. When the printer assigned to the port
is disconnected, the other printer will be assigned to that port.
Printer A
Printer B
Replaced
3Note that you can replace the printer even when COM3 is open
during the operation of a POS application.
The automatic device assignment function is available for a single printer and a single Customer display. If
you want to use multiple printers simultaneously, use COM Assignment Tool that comes with
TMCOMUSB Ver.2.00 to perform port assignment.

Rev. A

<Caution>
- Even if the automatic device assignment function is used, when new devices are connected, they are
temporarily assigned to new ports, such as COM6 and COM7, as shown in the following figure; after that,
the ports will be automatically changed to COM4 and COM5, for which automatic device assignment was
specified before. Note that COM6 and COM7 will remain as unavailable ports. Then, more ports will
become also unavailable each time a new device is connected. If all the ports up to COM32 become
unavailable, it is not possible to connect a new device any more. In such a case, take the following
procedure:
<Procedure>
Remain as unavailable ports.
1Launch COM Assignment Tool.

2Delete the device assigned to an unavailable port by using the Delete button.
3Power ON again the device to be used, or
select All Delete from the Port Settings menu to delete all the port assignments and make the

5.5 Mixed use of automatic and manual device assignment

When using multiple printers simultaneously, it is possible to make the settings in such a way that automatic
device assignment is specified for the first device, and that manual device assignment is specified for the
second device and after. However, the above mixed use is not recommended because confusion may occur at
the time of device replacement.
Rev. A

6. Usable Windows APIs

With some exceptions, Win32 API used for serial communication can be used as is.
For how to use Win32 API, see the MSDN information provided by Microsoft Corporation.
6.1 List of supported Win32 API

6.2 Serial communication settings and flow control

USB communication is not affected by any value set for the baud rate, parity, byte size, or stop bit of the
DCB structure. However, if a value beyond the defined range is specified, a function returns an error.
1) When hard flow is set for the flow control
Specify DTR_CONTROL_HANDSHAKE for the fDtrControl member of the DCB structure to call
SetCommStatus().
2) When none is set for the flow control
Specify DTR_CONTROL_DISABLE for the fDtrControl member of the DCB structure to call
SetCommStatus().When you need to send a realtime command in the busy status such as when sending
an error cancel command to a device, temporarily use this setting.
fOutxCtsFlow
= FALSE;
fOutxDsrFlow
= FALSE;
fDtrControl
= DTR_CONTROL_DISABLE;
fDsrSensitivity
= FALSE;
fTXContinueOnXoff = FALSE;
fOutX
= FALSE;
fInX
= FALSE;
fErrorChar
= FALSE;
fNull
= FALSE;
fRtsControl
= RTS_CONTROL_DISABLE;
3) The flow control XON/XOFF is unsupported.

4) The BREAK signal control is unsupported.
6.3 Reception of scanned images

To receive scanned image data, the reception performance can be improved by increasing the number of
reception requests specified by ReadFile() at a time. For example, the reception performance is improved by
requesting (64K+4) bytes in ReadFile so that packets to be sent from the printer at a time can be received
completely. In addition, we recommend specifying the values of the COMMTIMEOUTS structure, which
are specified in the SetCommTimeouts() function, as follows:
Rev. A

ReadIntervalTimeout = MAXDWORD,
ReadTotalTimeoutMultiplier = MAXDWORD,
ReadTotalTimeoutConstant = 500,
WriteTotalTimeoutConstant = 0,
WriteTotalTimeoutConstant = 2000,
6.4 Calling CloseHandle API during waiting event

When you call CloseHandle API during the event waiting status by WaitCommEvent API, call
SetCommMask API by specifying dwEvtMask = NULL in advance to cancel the event waiting status. If you
call CloseHandle API without canceling the event waiting status, control cannot return from
WaitCommEvent API and the same COM port becomes unavailable.
Rev. A

7. Troubleshooting
7.1 When the port information of TMCOMUSB is corrupt
If EPSON COM Emulation USB Port (COMx) is deleted from Device Manager or if NONE is specified in
the port settings by using the COM Assignment Tool of the past TMCOMUSB, the registry information of
TMCOMUSB may lose integrity. Delete a port with error symbol or restore its initial state by using COM
Assignment Tool, and perform the re-assignment of the device to a port. (Refer to <Caution> of "5.3
Automatic Device Assignment")
7.2 When conflict occurs with a COM port used by another driver
Re-assign the device to an empty port, or either change the COM settings of or uninstall another driver.

8. Restrictions
8.1 Restrictions on the emulation driver
1
When serial I/F is replaced with COMUSB I/F in any of the following conditions, applications need to
be changed.
- For control, when ESC = n is used to switch between the printer and the Customer display
- When using H6000II+UB-U01III/ U 02 III /U03II during reception of image data
- When ESC/POS commands are used to change the communication settings dedicated to serial I/F
In an environment where TMCOMUSB is installed, tools provided by EPSON cannot be used even if
USB I/F is specified for their communication settings. Specify serial ports.
During printing, do not power OFF/ON the printer, or do not remove or connect any cable. In
addition, do not forcibly terminate an application during printing. Doing so could make the system
unstable.
After powering OFF the printer, wait until the driver is unloaded (for approx. 5 seconds) and then
power ON the printer. If the power is turned ON immediately, communication with the printer may
fail. In such a case, power OFF the printer again, wait for approx. 5 seconds, and power ON the
printer.
While devices are running, due to restrictions on the OS side, it may become impossible to turn the
PC into standby or hibernation mode normally. Terminate the print application or power OFF the
devices, and then turn the PC into standby/hibernation mode.
8.2 Restrictions on COM assignment

1
There may be a conflict between the ports assigned to devices or the driver of another manufacturer
and the ports used by TMCOMUSB. In the event of COM port conflict, re-assign COM ports to be
used by TMCOMUSB through COM Assignment Tool.
Do not delete EPSON COM Emulation USB Port (COMx) from Device Manager. If it has been
deleted, you need to launch COM Assignment Tool and delete the assignment of the COM ports
concerned.
8.3 Restrictions on the installer/uninstaller

1
For operation of the installer of TMCOMUSB, it is necessary that Internet Explorer Version 4.0 or
over and Windows Installer Version 2.0 or over should be installed.
The installer can run without problems on operation systems supported by TMCOMUSB because
these modules have already been installed there.
If you downgrade the version of TMCOMUSB Ver.2.00 to Ver1.xx, uninstall the installed Ver.2.00
and then install a Ver.1.xx If you don't uninstall Ver.1.xx, the system becomes unstable.
If you mistakenly install Ver. 1.xx on a computer where Ver. 2.00 is already installed, start the
Ver.2.00 installer and execute "Repair EPSON TMCOMUSB Serial Emulation Driver Ver.2.00."
