How to setup the Epson TM-T20 series receipt printer with or without a cash drawer.

The following instructions will show you how to set up an Epson TM-T20 receipt printer with eSpa247 POS on a Windows computer.

Step 1: Download & Install Driver

First, we will install the printer using the manufacturer’s driver (as any other regular printer).

1. Download the driver from here

2. Locate the driver in the designated downloads folder. It should be named “APD_501_T20II_EWM.zip“.

3. In the folder, locate the actual driver package to be installed, “APD5_MAN_T20II_EN_B.exe“.

Step 3: Set Receipt Printer in PCNails POS

Now, it is time to set it up in PCNails POS so that it prints receipts. 

  • In PCNails POS, go to “Printer Configuration.” (Menu > Settings > Printer & Receipt).
Navigation to setting printer
  • Configure the Epson printer following this image.
Select a printer name

3. The most important setting here is “Printer Model.” If you will use a cash drawer attached to this printer, make sure “Epson Compatible” is selected as the option.

If you are not using a cash drawer with this printer, this is your last step, and you do not need to follow the rest of these instructions. It might be a good idea to press the “Test” button to make sure your printer is functioning properly.
