How to setup an printer with a Micros Ethernet Interface
Micros Connect-It Ethernet Interface used a manual configuration
scheme and and no web interface. This card can be distinguished from an Epson
style Ethernet card by the presence of a red or blue
4 position DIP
switch visible on the front of the adapter. There are also 4 jumpers that can be
set on the circuit board of the card.
DIP Normal Switch Settings (on front panel)
DS-1 Off ('On' is used to generate a configuration report)
DS-2 N/A
DS-3 N/A

JP-1 baud
JP-2 baud
JP-3 DHCP (default: on)
JP-4 factory use (normally off)
Baud rate settings (set using combination of jumper
1 and jumper 2, above)
9600 baud: JP1-Off, JP-2-Off
19200 baud: JP1-On, JP-2-Off
38400 baud: JP1-Off, JP-2-On
Notes: The Micros module only supports 9600, 19200 and 38400 baud
rates.
The
printer and the Micros module must have the same baud rates to communicate.
For jumpers, On means the jumper is in place over the pins, Off
means the jumper has been removed from the 2 pins.
Cards are shipped without jumpers - so 9600 is the default baud rate.

Get the initial settings of the Epson Printer
Run the printer self test (hold down the feed button while turning on the
printer). The printer will print a list of initial settings including interface
type and buffer capacity. Verify that the interface is "serial" for this type of
Ethernet adapter and that the baud rate is the same as is set on the card.
If necessary, change the baud rate on the printer (using the
DIP switches) or the baud rate on the module
(using jumpers), so they agree.
Get the initial settings of the Ethernet Adapter Card
Turn off power on printer. Change the dip switch 1 to ON. Turn printer on.
The printer will print a list of
including MAC address, current IP address and DIP switch and jumper settings.
Note: if you want to enable DHCP for this card, you must place a jumper
on JP3. JP3 is located on the circuit board near the large black connector.
DHCP
stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a network service that
automatically assigns IP addresses to devices.

Resetting the card to default settings
You can reset the Ethernet card to it's
default settings by placing a small jumper across two pins while power
cycling the card.
-
Locate the two position jumper closest to the metal plate
(see arrows).
-
Place
a jumper at position 1 (JP1) across the two pins adjacent to the metal
plate.
-
Install the card in the printer.
-
Turn power on. Wait for printer to
respond - it should print a test sheet.
-
Turn the printer off.
-
Remove the card from the printer and the
jumper from the card. The card should now be reset to its default settings.

IDN Interface |
 |
There are two types of serial ports on a Micros 4 or 5 terminal, regular Serial
(RS232) and IDN (RS422)
IDN Port COM4
(RS422) Does Not Function
Symptoms: When using the IDN Print test, or
attempting print from the application, the
IDN printer does not print or prints
erratically. In other cases, printing may
occur, but the application does not receive
confirmation. The following assumes you are
working with a patch cable and IDN printing
device that is known to be functional.
• Examine the 8-Pin modular connector
looking for pins that may be pushed
out of position. If necessary, carefully
move the pins into the correct
position.
• Defective interface or termination
circuit.
o Transceivers U10 (TX) and U16 (RX).
o IDN/RS232 Select Logic. U4, U9, U13.
o SIO - U22.
o Damaged/Defective RS422 Termination
Components. Fuses F2, F3,
F5, and F7. Clamping diodes D9, D10, D11,
D13. Resistors R493,
R494, R498, R496, R492, R504, and R499.
• Defective or damaged printer IDN Module.
o Substitute the IDN module.
