Application Development Information
This chapter describes how to control the printer and gives information useful for printer
application development.
Controlling the Printer
Use a driver, ESC/POS commands, or ePOS-Print to control the printer. ePOS-Print is available
only with the Wi-Fi models.
Selecting a Driver
Choose one of the drivers listed in "Printer Drivers" on page 62, depending on the application
operating environment.
For information about the driver operating environment, see the installation manual for each
driver.
When you develop a new application
•Use APD if you want to print True Type fonts or print many graphics.
•OPOS ADK is recommended for system extensibility. An OPOS driver is provided for various
peripherals and it is a POS industry standard now. It enables POS system efficiency, reduction
of development cost, and effective use of appl
ication assets.
You can use all functions, including ones not supported by OPOS ADK or APD, by using
ESC/POS commands through your driver. Use the DIRECT I/O function of OPOS ADK, the
control A command of APD, or Status API to send ESC/POS commands from each driver.
(See "ESC/POS command functions" on page 56.)
