Overview
This section explains the outline for the Easy Setup.
What is Easy Setup?
Easy Setup is a function that saves the settings for the TM-DT EPSON TMNet WebConfig on
USB memory, copying it to a different TM-DT. You can perform settings for multiple TM-DT
devices quickly and efficiently.
You can use it for systems that use ePOS-Print API, ePOS-Print XML and Server Direct Print.
Use the following procedure to save the settings on USB memory.
1Perform EPSON TMNet WebConfig settings on the TM-DT to be copied
from, and save the settings file.
2For network settings such as the IP address and the EPSON TMNet
WebConfig settings, edit the settings.ini file attached to this document.
3Copy the EPSON TMNet WebConfig setting file and the setting.ini file to
the USB memory. Also, copy the Web contents file and the Web service
function update file if necessary.

8
Perform settings on the printer to be copied to, using the following procedure.
1Set roll paper in the TM-DT, and turn the power on.
2Insert the USB memory. Settings are started automatically, and the result
is printed.
Restore the TMNet WebConfig
You can easily restore the TMNet WebConfig settings from a file on USB memory, without using
TMNet WebConfig. You can easily restore the existing settings when switching the TM-DT.
The TMNet WebConfig setting file cannot be restored unless firmware versions match.

Preparing the setting file
This section explains the method for creating the setting files to save on the USB memory.
Setting files to save to USB memory
Save the following setting files on the USB memory in order to perform Easy Setup for the TM-
DT.
File Neces-
sity Description
setting.ini Required
You must edit the contents of the setting.ini file to match the
settings.
Refer to "Editing the setting.ini file" on page 12.
Additional contents Optional
Additional contents refer to the Web contents to be saved on
the printer if you are using ePOS-Device API, ePOS-Device
XML and Server Direct Ptrint.
Update files for the 
Web service function Optional
Files provided by EPSON that perform updates, such as
firmware, device control script file.
Example : ESUP-SYS201W.bin

Editing the setting.ini file
The setting.ini file is written as follows. Edit the contents to match your settings. Delete any areas
that are not required for setting.
Different firmware versions provide different functions. If the setting.ini file from a newer
version runs on an older version of the TM-DT, any functions not implemented on the old TM-
DT are ignored, but the supported functions are executed.
This file is for the firmware ver.2.5.
