TM-T88IV Technical Reference Guide ❏ Supported devices Refer to the release note for the driver for details on available equipment. • EPSON receipt printer • EPSON customer display • EPSON cash drawer Note: A separate USB device driver is required for a USB model printer, and a separate IP setup utility is required for an Ethernet model printer. See the manual packed with the APD. When you use the APD for the TM-T88IV, using TrueType fonts may slow printing down, due to the speed of communication between the printer and host computer. If this happens, we recommend using printer-resident fonts. For details on how to use resident fonts, see the user's manual for the APD. Printing with TrueType fonts on other interfaces may have a slight influence on customer applications. In that case, use the printer-resident fonts. Because of the restrictions of some customer applications, when the APD is used with that application, resident fonts sometimes cannot be used, even if they are specified. When OPOS is used, this problem does not arise because only the printer-resident fonts are available. 3.1.1.4 Driver information and download destination Get the latest driver information from one of the following URLs: For customers from North America, go to the following web site: http://pos.epson.com/ For customers from other countries, go to the following web site: http://www.epson-pos.com/ Select the product name from the "Select any product" pull-down menu. 3.1.2 EPSON OPOS ADK The EPSON OPOS ADK supports the development environment required for OPOS application development using OPOS Control as described by the OLE for Retail POS (simply called "OPOS" from here on) Technology Association to supply the OPOS-compliant printer driver (OCX).
