Different setup procedures are used depending on the printing method. APD (Advanced Printer Driver): The utility software is launched during installation of APD. Then, start the pairing process. When installation is finished, pairing is completed and printing from APD is enabled. To start pairing after installation of APD, start the pairing process later using the utility software. UPOS (OPOS ADK, OPOS for .NET, JavaPOS): After registering a printer using SetupPOS, use the utility software for pairing. When setting is completed, printing from UPOS is enabled. ESC/POS Command: The utility software is used for pairing. Specify the virtual COM port created here in the application.
