Communication Box - Epson TM-T88VI-iHUB Reference Manual

Communication Box

A communication box, which is a virtual space for exchanging data between applications, is implemented in the
TM-Intelligent software. The TM-Intelligent software discloses the virtual data space, which is identified by box
ID, to applications. The box ID can be used by multiple applications, making it possible to easily configure a sys-
tem for exchanging data between applications.
The communication box can be set and used from applications compatible with Epson ePOS SDK and ePOS-
Device XML.
Communication Box Mechanism
The TM-Intelligent software manages the communication box with a box ID (BoxID in the figure above). Data
can be exchanged between applications that belong to the communication box.
In the figure, applications App1 and App2 exchange data using the communication box with BoxID:1.
