Chapter 5 Application Development Information Software The following software is provided for application development. Development Kit ∗ 1: OLE technology developed by Microsoft divides software into part blocks. The OPOS driver is presupposed to be used with a development environment, such as Visual Basic, unlike ordinary Windows printer drivers. It is not a driver to be used for printing from commercial applications. You can acquire documents regarding the UnifiedPOS from the following link. https://www.omg.org/spec/UPOS Drivers 114 Software Description Epson ePOS SDK This is a development kit for controlling TM printers from native applications of smart devices or web applications.
This includes libraries, manuals, and sample programs. EPSON OPOS ADK This OCX driver can control POS peripherals using OLE technology.*1 Because controlling POS peripherals with vendor specific commands is not required on the application side, efficient system development is possible. EPSON OPOS ADK for .NET The OPOS ADK for .NET is a POS industry standard printer driver compatible with Microsoft POS for .NET. It allows you to develop applications that are compatible with the UPOS (Unified POS) specification. When developing applications, use a separate development environment such as Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.
Epson TM Print Assistant A native application that relays print data between an application and the TM printer. Epson TM Print Assistant allows you to develop a system that enables printing from a Web application or a URL-scheme capable application such as FileMaker, on a smart device connected to the TM printer. Software Description Operating environment EPSON Advanced Printer Driver (APD) In addition to ordinary Windows printer driver functions, this driver has controls specific to POS. The Status API (Epson original DLL) that monitors printer status and sends ESC/POS commands is also attached to this driver.
Windows EPSON TM Virtual Port Driver This is a serial/parallel-USB/LAN conversion driver to make an Epson TM/BA/EU printer connected via USB or LAN accessible from a POS application through a virtual serial or parallel port. It allows you to directly control devices connected via USB or LAN with ESC/POS commands without making changes in the POS application that controls devices connected via a serial or parallel interface.
