POSLavu hardware setup

Set-Up: Epson Printers

POS Lavu now supports Epson Ethernet printers. The following printers are supported TM-T20, TM-T20II, TM-T70II, TM-T88V, TM-T88Vi, and TM-U220.

All printers used with POS Lavu should be Ethernet printers hardwired directly to the router or a switch.

It must be understood that in some cases printers that were previously used with other Arduino pos printer librarys may not be programmable to work WITH other Arduino pos printer librarys, including Lavu POS.
