EPSON OPOS ADK Version 2.68E 5.1 Supported Devices, Reference Versions of Firmware For more details, please refer to the "SupportedDevicesList.txt" that is a different file. 5.2 Special notes The following list describes items restricted in this version and how to deal with problems. Also, please be sure to refer to the warnings of the "User's manual" and "Application Development Guide GENERAL DEVELOPMENT". - 5.2.1 Installation - 5.2.2 Installing alongside previous versions (Ver1.60 - Ver1.95) - 5.2.3 Interface connection - 5.2.4 Devices - 5.2.5 OPOS application - 5.2.6 Precautions - 5.2.7 Others 5.2.1 Installation 1) While operating the Installer with a keyboard, the back screen may switch to a screen that is unable to operate with a keyboard after an error message or caution. In such a case, please depress and switch the screen. 2) If a device that is not supported is already registered in the environment where this version will be installed, registration information for the unsupported device must be deleted. Please delete the registration information prior to installing this version. If this version is installed without deleting this information, the registration information will be deleted during installation. 5.2.2 Installing alongside previous versions (Ver1.60 - Ver1.95) 1) When installing alongside one of the older versions, please be sure to install the older version prior to installing this version. 2) When uninstalling in an environment with other versions, please run this version's uninstaller. 5.2.3 Interface connection 5.2.3.1 Parallel connection 1) We checked the performance of the program at LPT1. 2) Please set "Bi-Directional" for either the ECP or EPP settings in the parallel mode settings in the BIOS. 3) Depending on the BIOS, there is a possibility of "ECP doesn't work but EPP does work" or conversely "EPP doesn't work but ECP does work" occurring. If it doesn't work properly, please change these settings and try again. 4) After turning the device off, there is a delay of several seconds before the ServiceObject recognizes that the power is off. Please consider in the application. 5) When registering a device in SetupPOS and using the device in a 64bit OS environment, and if the model does not use the "TMPORT" port type, the device will be supported by the Windows' standard parallel driver. In this case, there are the following limitations: - Monitoring of power functions is not supported. - Using commands to clear recoverable errors is not supported. Remove an error state by power supply OFF/ON. - It is not possible to open the cash drawer when the printer is in an error state. Open the cash drawer after an error state is removed. - If the printer (Parallel model) is connected to the PC, a "Found New Hardware" dialog will be displayed with the title "Windows needs to install software for your EPSON TM-P X.xx". Since it is not necessary to install the driver, search for the driver using the "Locate and install driver software (recommended)" option. Press the "Close" button after Windows indicates that it is unable to locate the driver. Once this is done, the message will no longer be displayed. * If the [Cancel] button is pressed to close the dialog, the same message will be displayed next time the device is connected. 5.2.3.2 USB connection 1) We checked the performance of the program, connecting with a maximum of 10 printers via the USB interface. 2) When 2 or more devices of the same model which use a "TMPORT" are registered in SetupPOS, please create the USB TMPORT with the "TMPORT Making" dialog before turning on the device. If the device is turned on before the port is created, it's possible that the device will not be connected to the desired port. 3) If the "Found new hardware wizard" is displayed when the printer is turned ON/OFF, cancel the wizard and install the EPSON Advanced Printer Driver (Version 4.50 or later). 5.2.3.3 Network connection 1) We checked the performance of the program, connecting with a maximum of 20 printers via the network interface. 2) Please exercise caution to the following points when using the Network Interface Device. - During Open, or Claim, the TM printer's power Off / On operation is supported, but after it is turned On, it cannot be guaranteed that it will reconnect, so exercise caution. During Open or Claim, that PC has a monopoly on its connection with the TM printer. (Another PC cannot connect with it.) However, if the TM printer's power is turned OFF once, then turned On again, any PC existing on the network can connect with that TM printer. At that time, the OPOS of a PC which is in the middle of a Claim will attempt to reconnect automatically, but if another PC's OPOS also attempts to make a Claim, it is not clear which will be able to make the connection. The PC which is the earliest to request connection can establish the connection. Accordingly, a TM printer which has had its power turned Off and On after Open or Claim, may not necessarily be available to reconnect to, so exercise caution. When the TM printer's power is turned On. - It can take up to 20 seconds when turning on or resetting a TM printer, or using a network function. Please wait for this interval to pass before starting any processing. 5.2.4 Devices 1) Multi-tone printing: Because the Multi-tone printing uses more print data, printing through the serial or Ethernet I/F may become intermittent, and white streaks may appear on the printout. 5.2.5 OPOS application 5.2.5.1 When using HardTotals 1) Hard Totals using EPSON series NVRAM needs a driver to access the NVRAM: EPSON NVRAM Driver. In an environment where the EPSON NVRAM Driver is not installed, Hard Totals cannot be installed. To install Hard Totals onto a machine on which you are going to use the EPSON NVRAM Driver, install the driver first. For how to purchase the EPSON NVRAM Driver, check with the company where you bought the IM hardware. 5.2.5.2 When using KeyLock 1) If you try to use the function in Windows2000, OPOS can't detect the keylock position correctly. Therefore, the keylock function of the DM-KX060 (which is an optional keyboard for the ARCX(IM-700)/URBANII(SR- 610)) is not available. 5.2.5.3 When using CheckScanner 1) Do not touch the CheckScanner device when scanning image data. In particular, do not turn the power OFF/ON during scanning. Problems with the operation of ServiceObject may occur. 5.2.6 Precautions 1) Stand by/hibernation mode for the OS Since it is possible that the driver will become unstable if the computer goes into stand by/hibernation mode while the printer is in use, please avoid the use of stand by/hibernation mode. 5.2.7 Others 1) OPOS APG/CPG documents Starting with version 1.7, the OPOS document is no longer available as it has been integrated with the UnifiedPOS document. Please refer to the UnifiedPOS document. The OPOS APG/CPG(UPOS) documents are available at: (As of Oct,2007) http://www.nrf-arts.org/UnifiedPOS/default.htm 2) The location to save the log files The default location to save the trace log file and POSPrinter error log files is as follows: Windows Vista/7/Embedded POSReady 7: (System Drive): \ProgramData\EPSON\OPOS Windows 2000/XP: (System Drive): \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\EPSON\OPOS Windows Server: (System Drive): \Program Data\EPSON\OPOS Windows Embedded: (System Drive): \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\EPSON\OPOS 3) Data sent from the printer after OPOS is used Device settings are overwritten once OPOS is used. Depending on this action, data could subsequently be sent from the device. If you then directly connect to the device without using OPOS, please disregard the following data. - 3-byte printer status sent when the power is turned ON - 3-byte power ON notification sent when the power is turned ON 4) There is an unresolved issue with the OPOS ADK version 2.60 uninstaller. Therefore, when uninstalling the OPOS ADK version 2.60, please uninstall after installing this version. 5) When uninstalling OPOS after doing an upgrade install, it's possible that there may still be some remaining empty folders inside the installation folder. If desired, these empty folders can be deleted. Note that if these empty folders are not deleted it will not have any effect on the operation of the driver. 6) Sample program When using the EPSON OPOS ADK for TM-T88V Version 1.01E: Please exercise caution when updating/reinstalling this release: - The Oposepsn.bas file has been upgraded. - The definition names have been changed at the step 19.

Also, please be sure to refer to the warnings of the "User's manual" and "Application Development Guide GENERAL DEVELOPMENT". - 7.2.1 Installation - 7.2.2 Installing alongside previous versions (Ver1.60 - Ver1.95) - 7.2.3 Interface connection - 7.2.4 Devices - 7.2.5 OPOS application - 7.2.6 Precautions - 7.2.7 Others 7.2.1 Installation 1) While operating the Installer with a keyboard, the back screen may switch to a screen that is unable to operate with a keyboard after an error message or caution. In such a case, please depress and switch the screen. 2) If a device that is not supported is already registered in the environment where this version will be installed, registration information for the unsupported device must be deleted. Please delete the registration information prior to installing this version. If this version is installed without deleting this information, the registration information will be deleted during installation. 7.2.2 Installing alongside previous versions (Ver1.60 - Ver1.95) 1) When installing alongside one of the older versions, please be sure to install the older version prior to installing this version. 2) When uninstalling in an environment with other versions, please run this version's uninstaller. 7.2.3 Interface connection 7.2.3.1 Parallel connection Not applicable 7.2.3.2 USB connection 1) We checked the performance of the program, connecting with a maximum of 10 printers via the USB interface. 2) When 2 or more devices of the same model which use a "TMPORT" are registered in SetupPOS, please create the USB TMPORT with the "TMPORT Making" dialog before turning on the device. If the device is turned on before the port is created, it's possible that the device will not be connected to the desired port. 3) If the "Found new hardware wizard" is displayed when the printer is turned ON/OFF, cancel the wizard and install the EPSON Advanced Printer Driver (Version 4.50 or later). 7.2.3.3 Network connection 1) We checked the performance of the program, connecting with a maximum of 20 printers via the network interface. 2) Please exercise caution to the following points when using the Network Interface Device. - During Open, or Claim, the TM printer's power Off/On operation is supported, but after it is turned On, it cannot be guaranteed that it will reconnect, so exercise caution. During Open or Claim, that PC has a monopoly on its connection with the TM printer. (Another PC cannot connect with it.) However, if the TM printer's power is turned OFF once, then turned On again, any PC existing on the network can connect with that TM printer. At that time, the OPOS of a PC which is in the middle of a Claim will attempt to reconnect automatically, but if another PC's OPOS also attempts to make a Claim, it is not clear which will be able to make the connection. The PC which is the earliest to request connection can establish the connection. Accordingly, a TM printer which has had its power turned Off and On after Open or Claim, may not necessarily be available to reconnect to, so exercise caution. When the TM printer's power is turned On. - It can take up to 20 seconds when turning on or resetting a TM printer, or using a network function. Please wait for this interval to pass before starting any processing. 7.2.4 Devices Not applicable 7.2.5 OPOS application Not applicable 7.2.6 Precautions 1) Stand by/hibernation mode for the OS Since it is possible that the driver will become unstable if the computer goes into stand by/hibernation mode while the printer is in use, please avoid the use of stand by/hibernation mode. 7.2.7 Others 1) OPOS APG/CPG documents Starting with version 1.7, the OPOS document is no longer available as it has been integrated with the UnifiedPOS document.
