Software Manual
EPSON Advanced Printer Driver Ver.4 (APD4):
In addition to ordinary Windows driver functions, this driver has
controls specific to POS, such as controls for customer display.
The Status API (Epson original DLL) that sends ESC/POS com-
mands is also attached to this driver.
Notes on Using the DM-D500 with EPSON APD4
• Do not share the DM-D500 among multiple software applica-
tions.

EPSON OPOS ADK:
This OCX driver can control POS peripherals using OLE technol-
ogy*
1
. Because controlling POS peripherals with original com-
mands is not required on the application side, efficient system
development is possible.
Notes on using the DM-D500 with Epson's OPOS
• Set the transmission speed to 115200 bps.
• If the DM-D500 goes into a system standby state in Open /
Claim / Enable, execute Release/Claim to the DM-D500 to
return from the system standby status.
• Do not use the DM-D500 with multiple application software.

EPSON JavaPOS ADK (Windows):
JavaPOS is the standard specification which defines an architec-
ture and device interface (API) to access various POS devices
from a Java based system. Using JavaPOS standard API allows
control with Java-based applications of functions inherent to
each device. A flexible design with Java language and JavaPOS
enables many different types of computer systems, such as
stand alone or network configuration, to use a same application.
You can use JavaPOS to build applications and drivers indepen-
dently of platforms. This allows flexible configurations using thin
clients to meet the system requirements.
Notes on using the DM-D500 with Epson's JavaPOS
• Do not use the DM-D500 with multiple application software.
