*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 drivers. It is not a driver to be used for printing from commercial 
applications.
*2: This guide describes general informati
on on how to control printers using the OPOS ADK (in 
the chapter “POS Printer” and “Appendix-A”). It does not describe Epson’s specific functions.
EPSON TM Virtual Port Driver:
This driver is a Serial-USB/Ethernet and Parallel-USB/
Ethernet conversion driver to make an EPSON TM/BA/
EU printer connected via USB/Ethernet accessible 
from a POS application through virtual COM ports 
and a virtual LPT port. Without making changes in the 
POS application that controls devices connected 
through serial or parallel interfaces, devices 
connected via USB/Ethernet can be directly 
controlled with ESC/POS commands.
