Is this setup possible?

micros res3700 v5.2
Epson TM88V thermal printer
DT research DT365 tablet running Win7
M-S CF405 cash drawer with rj11 24v connected to the TM88V
Epson Opos drivers 2.70 ver

The above all works fine if the printer is serial. But if I use an Epson with an ip board instead of serial, only the printing works in micros. The cash drawer won't fire and the printer errors out with an OPOS_ILLEGAL message when doing an opos health check.

As far as I know the only difference is that in the opos setup you config the TM88V to be ethernet, which changes the designation to TM88VE, and add an ip port. It does not allow you to add the :9100 port # that micros uses, don't know if that's a cause for issues. When you add the drawer in opos you link it to the TM88V and designate it on the same port, which I think is correct. But you can't even health check the printer which would be a first step. Does anyone know if this setup is possible?
 
To my knowledge the printer has to be connected via IDN to pop the cash drawer.
 
Not sure with Micros, but in Aloha if you add opos printer and want printer interface cash drawers to work, you would also need to program cash drawer as opos. It would require using Epson Opos driver setup
