  • Page 7: Overview

    Chapter 1 Overview Overview Introduction Advanced Printer Driver (hereafter called APD) is a Windows printer driver for EPSON TM  printers and Customer Displays. You can display the Customer Display using the same  operation as printing. APD can monitor the status of the TM printer with Status API for use of POS embedded.  However, the Customer Display is not supported. The APD environment that is already set up can be restored (silent install) on another computer. The printers locally connected to the computers can be used as shared printers (Point & Print), by  using network function of the OS. Package organization The APD consists of the following packages. APD installer (APD_4xxE.exe) A package to install the APD. Manual/Sample installer (APDMANE_x.exe) A package to install APD manuals (PDF) and sample programs using the APD.

    Silent Installation This chapter describes the procedures for the Silent Installation.  What Is a Silent Installation? The silent installation is a method that copies the existing APD setup environment to other computers without user operation. There are the following two methods. ❏ Using a silent installation package (*.exe) Create the silent installation package on the copy source computer.  Executing this file on another computer enables you to install the minimum environment  for operating the APD from all the environment of the copy source computer.  When the silent installation is executed with this file, you cannot create the silent  installation package or the script file for the silent installation, or add another printer. ❏ Using a script file (*.inf) for the silent installation Create the script file for the silent installation on the copy source computer.  Executing this file and the APD file (APD_4xxE.exe) on another computer enables you to  install the complete APD environment of the copy source computer.  In the environment in which the silent installation is executed with this file, you can create  the silent installation package or the script file for the silent installation, and you can also  add another printer. With this function, you can incorporate the APD installation into a batch file, a recovery disc for  the  OS, and an installer of an application. Also, you can add the command options for the silent installation to enable the following  functions.  Notification when completing the installation  Restart setting after completing the installation  Upgrade installation settings  Installing without displaying screens.
