Attempting to produce several thermal paper rolls from an EPSON TM T88V using Excel hasn't succeeded. I've tried various printing settings, but only one copy appears. It seems the devices may not be compatible with this method.

Will the thermal printer produce 10 copies through any other application or printing source?
And from Excel, are you simply printing a spreadsheet that is open and must be printed as needed—correct?
Specifically, File > Print > Copies (X) with X set to 10.

Did you create the spreadsheet yourself or is it from another source?
The main issue could be that the thermal printer interprets and searches for a "cut" command between "pages"/"copies". Excel might not transmit it, or the printer drivers may not recognize it.

Did you get the newest drivers from Epson and apply them according to the instructions in the printer manual? The printer must not be linked to the PC until you are prompted to do so during the driver setup.

Yes, for your needs, X equals 10.

Did you generate the spreadsheet yourself, or does it come from another source?
The main issue could be that the printer interprets and searches for a "cut" command between "pages"/"copies". Excel might not transmit it properly, or the drivers may not recognize the data.
The thermal printer includes a comprehensive command list according to the ePOS-Print XML User's Manual, along with a Software User's Manual.
You might need to create an Excel macro that prints X copies one at a time.
Begin with a "2 copy Macro" and follow the steps in the linked example: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office...s.printout
It should be easy to set up and test.
For extra help, you could ask the user to input "X" if it isn’t always 10.
