- Enter a title for the printer, static IP address, and set Type = Epson Local.
- IMPORTANT: The printer Title should not contain spaces or capital letters.
- Take note of the title that you assign to the printer as it will be used along with your tenantName to name your SSL certificate [ -.local.commerce7.com ]. (This is important because only a correctly named certificate will allow the printer to make the necessary API calls).
- In the URL bar of your web browser (Google Chrome) enter the Static IP Address found on the printed receipt (i.e. 192.168.1.29).
- You should see the page “Your connection is not private” as a SSL certificate has not been installed on your computer.
- Click the Advanced button.
- Click the Proceed to 192.168.1.29 link (but this will be your IP address) to access the administration screen.
- You should now be viewing the TM-T88VII Series admin panel.
- Click Administrator Login in the upper right.
- Enter the password for the printer. The default password should be the Serial Number located on the side of the printer.
