EPSON Advanced Printer Driver Ver.4 (APD4):
In addition to ordinary Windows driver functions, this driver has
controls specific to POS, such as controls for
customer display.
The Status API (Epson original DLL) that sends ESC/POS com-
mands is also attached to this driver.
Notes on Using the DM-D500 with EPSON APD4
•
Do not share the DM-D500 among multiple software applica-
tions.

Sample Program Guide
EPSON OPOS ADK:
This OCX driver can control POS peripherals using OLE technol-
ogy*
1
. Because controlling POS peripherals with original com-
mands is not required on the application side, efficient system
development is possible.
Notes on using the DM-D500 with Epson's OPOS
•
Set the transmission speed to 115200 bps.
•
If the DM-D500 goes into a system standby state in Open /
Claim / Enable, execute Release/Claim to the DM-D500 to
return from the system standby status.
•
Do not use the DM-D500 with multiple application software.
