[Texas Computer Guy]

Does anyone have step-by-step instructions on how to make this happen with Aloha POS using Epson U220 Printers?

No, this restaurant is in Texas, but they are Chinese owned and would like for their orders/chits to print in Chinese in the kitchen. Do you have any experience on how to make this happen?

I have had experience with Simphony POS using Epson to print Chinese, and I don't know if it is suitable for Aloha POS

There is specific firmware needed on the printers to accept print in Chinese. I had similar issue a few years ago with asian restaurant. I enable alternative chit print in aloha. So both English and CHinese printed. Contact Epson support for the exact firmware to match your printers. The process is very simple and they will provide all the software and firmware needed.

I think we have the Chinese loaded on the printer as when it does a test print, it will print Chinese characters. However, when we try to print a test item that has Chinese characters, it just shows a large "?". Do you know of any specific settings that are needed? It is setup as a Windows printer.

I did setup as generic windows printer. But nothing special in its setup. It was the firmware that made it print in Chinese.
