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