Chapter 3 Application Development Information Software Manual JavaPOS ADK: JavaPOS is the standard specification which defines an architecture and device interface (API) to access various POS devices from a Java based system. Using JavaPOS standard API allows control with Java-based applications of functions inherent to each device. A flexible design with Java language and JavaPOS enables many different types of computer systems, such as stand alone or network configuration, to use a same application. You can use JavaPOS to build applications and drivers independently of platforms. This allows flexible configurations using thin clients to meet the system requirements. JavaPOS ADK Installation Guide EPSON TM Virtual Port Driver: TM Virtual Port Driver User's Manual This driver is a Serial-USB and Parallel-USB conversion driver to make an EPSON TM/BA/EU printer connected via USB accessible from a POS application through virtual COM ports and a virtual LPT port. Without making changes in the POS application that controls devices connected through serial or parallel interfaces, devices connected via USB can be directly controlled with ESC/POS 3 commands. *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 drivers. It is not a driver to be used for printing from commercial applications. *2: This guide describes general information on how to control printers using the OPOS ADK (in the chapter "POS Printer" and "Appendix A"). It does not describe Epson's specific functions. 83

flexible design with Java language and JavaPOS
enables many different types of computer systems,

EPSON TM Virtual Port Driver:
This driver is a Serial-USB and Parallel-USB conversion
driver to make an EPSON TM/BA/EU printer
connected via USB accessible from a POS
application through virtual COM ports and a virtual
LPT port. Without making changes in the POS
application that controls devices connected through
serial or parallel interfaces, devices connected via
USB can be directly controlled with ESC/POS
commands.
