Epson TM Print Assistant
∗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 printer drivers. It is not a
driver to be used for printing from commercial applications.

Drivers

Software
EPSON Advanced
Printer Driver (APD)
EPSON TM Virtual
Port Driver
This is a development kit for controlling TM printers from native applications of smart
devices or web applications. This includes libraries, manuals, and sample programs.
This OCX driver can control POS peripherals using OLE technology.*1
Because controlling POS peripherals with vendor specific commands is not required on
the application side, efficient system development is possible.
The OPOS ADK for .NET is a POS industry standard printer driver compatible with
Microsoft POS for .NET. It allows you to develop applications that are compatible
with the UPOS (Unified POS) specification. When developing applications, use a separate
development environment such as Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.
A native application that relays print data between an application and the TM printer.
Epson TM Print Assistant allows you to develop a system that enables printing from a
Web application or a URL-scheme capable application such as FileMaker, on a smart
device connected to the TM printer.
In addition to ordinary Windows printer driver functions, this driver has controls
specific to POS. The Status API (Epson original DLL) that monitors printer status
and sends ESC/POS commands is also attached to this driver.
This is a serial/parallel-USB/LAN conversion driver to make an Epson TM/BA/EU
printer connected via USB or LAN accessible from a POS application through a
virtual serial or parallel port. It allows you to directly control devices connected
via USB or LAN with ESC/POS commands without making changes in the POS
application that controls devices connected via a serial or parallel interface.
