Does the back look like this?

In fact, it does look like that one you showed in this picture. Does this information help?
Thanks

During the printer's driver installation process I am asked to select between several printers. I doubt whether TM-T88IV Receipt or TM-T88IV Sticker is the one I should use.
Do you know which one I should select?
Thanks

Hello eventually I set up successfully the printer because now I can print for example from notepad with this epson TM-T88IV. All I had to do was use the same settings in both the com3 port in the device manager and during the printer's drivers installation process, settings such as baud speed (9600) and flow control (hardware) for both of them.

The question now is that the printer does not get to work successfully with a POS software called tpvsol.
The problem is that the printer is selected in the configuration menu of this program. As far as tpvsol manuals says, it seems there are two choices to set up the printer with this tpv:
either select the epson printer from the list, as I did (it did not work)
or select just a printing port. By default it writes LPT1.DOS but my printer is in COM3 port. Moreover, if using this second choice I should fill the 4 fields corresponding to the opening of the cash drawer, for red color, for black color and for automatic cutting of the ticket. By default there are some numbers filled as well for these four fields and they are like these in the same order I mentioned their meaning:
27 112 48
27 114 49
27 114 48
27 105

According to the POS software manual, these codes should usually be available on the printer's manual but I have not found them at there.

Any idea to make this printer work with this POS software?

Thanks a lot.

Any idea?

Does Device Manager show a modem? If so, you could try disabling it, although it probably isn't using one of your add-in COM ports.

I do not see any modem in the device manager but according to my last post, now the printer is working because for example I can print with notepad. Now the problem is that it does not work with the POS software I am testing, like I said in my last post.
Thanks for the try.

Have you tried setting the POS software to use COM3, and entering the Escape codes for the printing functions?
