PRINTER DRIVERS
A Windows driver specifically written for the printer is available and can be downloaded from
www.printek.com. It may be necessary to adjust some settings in your Application to produce the desired
result.
It is important to recognize that other Windows printer drivers, even for ESCPOS compatible printers, may
not work with the LCM20 or LCM25, as they format everything as dot graphics patterns, in a way which is
unique to each kind of printer. The Windows “Generic Text Only” printer driver should, however, work in a
limited manner.
Various applications and Tool Kits which fully support the LCM20 and LCM25 are available for PDA’s and
other Pocket PC platforms from www.fieldsoftware.com. When using these tools, select the Able
Systems AP1300/AP1310.
YOUR APPLICATION PROGRAM
Once communications between your computer and the printer have been established, you can try driving
the printer from your application program. As referred to in the Programmer’s Manual, the printer has a
control code set based on the EPSON ESCPOS protocol. Many of the commands are as closely
compatible as they can be, given the mechanical differences between printers, but if the application
program was originally written for another printer, it may need to be modified.
