ePOS-Device SDK

[Note] Migration of programs developed using ePOS-Device SDK
ePOS-Device SDK has been migrated to Epson ePOS SDK. Epson products and functions released after the release of Epson ePOS SDK do not support ePOS-Device SDK. We recommend to migrate applications developed using ePOS-Device SDK to Epson ePOS SDK. For instructions on how to migrate, refer to "Epson ePOS SDK Migration Guide" that is included in the Epson ePOS SDK package.

ePOS-Device SDK is a development tool package for the ePOS-Device. ePOS-Device SDK is made up of the following development tools.

The applicable products for the ePOS-Device SDK are TM-Intelligent printers, TM-DT printer and TM-i printer (TM-i Firmware Ver.4.0 or later).
Using the development tool has many benefits for an application development.
(1)ePOS-Device SDK has an application interface (API). So the programmer doesn't need to understand ESC/POS commands to control TM printer, and the programming to print a receipt becomes very simple compared to an SDK without API.
(2)ePOS-Device API command format and the function are almost similar between each ePOS-Device SDK. So the application programmer can control the TM printer(s) in the same way for the web application or native application development.

ePOS-Device SDK for Android
ePOS-Device SDK for iOS

These SDKs are the SDKs aimed at development engineers who are developing native applications based on each OS for printing on a TM-i printer using Wi-Fi and Ethernet interface.
Also, by using these SDK, you can control the printer, TM printer connected to network, or peripherals such as a customer display or a barcode scanner connected to the printer, with simple code.

Applicable products

-TM-L90-i is not supported.
-TM-DT series are supported form TM-DT software Ver.2.5 or later. The TM-DT series-specific features that are not provided for TM-i series cannot be used. API of ePOS-Device SDK has some restrictions. For details, refer to "README.en.txt" included in the ePOS-Device SDK package.

ePOS-Device SDK for JavaScript

ePOS-Device SDK for JavaScript is renamed from "ePOS-Device API." ePOS-Device SDK for JavaScript is a JavaScript library for controlling the TM-Intelligent printer from Web application software which supports HTML5. By using the ePOS-Device SDK for JavaScript, you can control the printer, TM printer connected to network, or peripherals such as a customer display or a barcode scanner connected to the printer, with simple code. In addition, print images rendered in HTML5 Canvas can be printed.

Applicable products

• TM-T88V-DT
• TM-T70II-DT
• TM-H6000IV-DT
• TM-T88V-i
• TM-T83II-i
• TM-T82II-i
• TM-T70-i
• TM-T20II-i

[Note]
-TM-T88V-i and TM-T70-i are supported from TM-i Firmware Ver.4.0 or later.
-TM-L90-i is not supported.

ePOS-Device XML

ePOS-Device XML is a command system that defines the function to control various types of POS peripheral devices, including TM-Intelligent printer, TM mobile printer, and TM printer(s) which is connected to TM-Intelligent printer using XML. Application in devices such as PCs, tablet PCs or smart phones, creates a request message in XML format and send it to TM-Intelligent printer using socket communication. ePOS-Device Service installed in TM-Intelligent printer executes control over peripheral devices by interrupting a request message and returns a response.
For more details, please refer to ePOS-Device XML Users manual, which can be downloaded at Download page.

 ePOS-Device SDK for JavaScript compatible printers.

ePOS-Device stracture

ePOS-Device SDK is the application interface (API) to control TM printer for an application using XML data. ePOS-Device has two layer structures. ePOS-Device Service I/F takes the interface with ePOS-Device API running at a Web browser. Then it controls the internal devices, built-in TM printer in the TM-Intelligent printer and optional customer display, or the external TM printer(s) which is connected through Ethernet or Wi-Fi network. For more details about ePOS-Device API, please refer to each ePOS-Device SDK User's manual, which can be downloaded at the Download page.
The "Device control script " is to control Serial communication devices and/or Keyboard I/F devices. It is written in Java script. And by customizing the Device control script for certain POS peripheral devices, varieties of peripheral devices can be controlled by ePOS-Device. Epson periodically expands the supported peripheral devices that can be controlled by ePOS-Device. Please refer to the "ePOS device list " for information about the latest supported device list at ePOS-Device list page.

Or you can develop device control scripts by yourself to meet your peripheral devices. For the detail information about device control scrip, please refer to ePOS-Devide SDK for JavaScript User's manual, which can be downloaded at the Download page.

[Note] Only TM-DT printer can be customized the "Device control script ", or can be developed a new one.
