2.1 Control Method
A TM printer can print and be controlled using any of the following three methods:
1. Windows printer driver (EPSON Advanced Printer Driver)
2. EPSON OPOS ADK
3. ESC/POS commands
Depending on the driver or interface to be used, an IP setting tool for the Ethernet specification,
a USB device driver, and a logo registration utility for printing (TMFlash logo utility) are
provided.
See “How to Get a Driver” in this chapter.
2.1.1 Windows Driver (EPSON Advanced Printer Driver)
The EPSON Advanced Printer Driver is a method for controlling the TM printer in the same
manner as the Windows standard printer driver.
2.1.1.1 General Features of the EPSON Advanced Printer Driver
The EPSON Advanced Printer Driver has the following features:
❏
Supplies the Windows printer driver for the TM printer, which enables printing through
general Windows applications.
❏
Enables executing unique functions of the POS printer, such as paper cutting and drawer
opening.
❏
Font type selection enables printing with the printer’s internal fonts.
❏
Enables obtaining the printer status by StatusAPI with a programming language such as
VisualBasic. This makes it possible to have bi-directional communication with the TM
printer under the Windows standard printer driver environment.
Note:
The statusAPI is the API for controlling the printer, which is supplied exclusively by EPSON. Using this
enables obtaining printer status and transmitting ESC/POS commands.
