3. he default available is named “Tm88 II” and is compatible with most printers with Epson emulation.  However, if you experience formatting issue a list of optional codes is located in the “Appendix-Printer Escape Codes” section found at the end of this guide.
4. Once the drivers are selected touch the screen where it says “Click here to Load” in order to populate all of the code fields for that printer. 
5. Once the fields have been loaded click the “Save to Printer” to apply the changes to the selected printer.
