(OPOS) application development by OPOS Control proposed by the OPOS committee and
supplies a printer driver (OCX) conforming to OPOS.
When developing an OPOS confirmed application, use the following control methods. EPSON
OPOS ADK has the following features.
❏ EPSON OPOS ADK supports not only the OPOS Control (CO + SO) proposed by the OPOS
committee but also totally supports the OPOS application development environment such
as utilities for installation and setup, the contents necessary for development, such as sample
programs and manuals, and also the function of Log when debugging, and silent
installation, which enables easy installation for a targeted PC.
❏ EPSON OPOS ADK supports DirectIO with parameters for unique functions exclusively for
TM printers by EPSON. Also the power notice function, offline buffer clear processing, and
device irregular processing that has been taken into account by developers are supported by
the driver; these can reduce the number of application steps.
