5 APPENDIX A - CHANGING THE AUTO POWER OFF TIME

The Epson TM-P60 is configured, by default, to power off automatically after 20 minutes of

inactivity. You can increase this time to a maximum of 60 minutes.

5.1 Required Files

• MSWUTL_V24900E.msi (contained in the zip file attached to this document)

TO INCREASE THIS AUTO POWER OFF TIME:

1. Connect the P60 printer to a COM port using the serial cable that came with the printer (also

works when using a Systech hub).

2. Run a printer self-test to confirm the following:

• Current Baud rate

• Current Auto Power off time

3. Unzip the attached MSSU.zip file (Memory Switch Setting Utility) on the same PC.

4. Double click on the mswutl_V24900E.msi file that you just unzipped, which will run the

Memory Switch Setting Utility Setup Wizard – follow the prompts to install the utility.

5. Once installed, launch the MSWUTL through Window’s All Programs menu.

6. Select the correct Device type, COM port & Baud rate.

NOTE: Ensure that the baud rate setting in this program matches the baud rate on the printer

self-test; if it doesn’t match, the utility won’t communicate with the printer.

7. Click “Communication Test”.

• If you get an error about the “printer being busy” ensure that the self-test you ran earlier

is completed by pressing the feed button & the printer has no other flashing lights.

with the connected printer”, click OK.
