Using a CAT-5 network cable (RJ45 connector) through a router or switch this option
requires the purchase of a router or switch and network cable.
Before you begin, make sure your EPSON TM-
T88IV printer is plugged in and properly
connected to your router/switch via network
cable and that the paper roll is properly
seated.
The other end of the cable should be
connected to the corresponding port on the
