Printer driver
Multiple drivers are available for each printer model. For example, a driver for labels (Label)
and a driver for receipts (Receipt) can be used in label printers.
With hybrid printers, where two printers are combined in one, it is possible to print receipt
papers and slip papers by installing a driver for receipts and a driver for slips, respectively.
Driver types
• Receipt Receipt printing, continuous label paper printing
• Label Label printing
• Slip Slip paper printing
• Ver.2.xxCompatible APD Inherits the APDVersion2.xx environment.
Use this driver when no APD Ver.3.xx driver is
available for your printer but you want to use your
system built for APD Ver.2.xx with minimum changes
to the application due to driver change.
• Reduce35 Inherits the Reduce35 environment of APD
Version2.xx.Reduce35 reduces the printing by 35%. That
is, you can output a Windows A4 width to 80 mm width
receipt.
