Printer Control Methods

.
There are three (3) possible methods to control the PP-50 thermal printer. As shown in
the diagram below. Applications running on various palm size devices can be use to
control the PP-50 using either the direct control method or using one of the available
printer drivers or SDK (gray box).
The control method use is limited by the Driver or SDK's compatibility with the various
application development tools. See section on your device for details on Driver and SDK
compatibility.
For example, if the development tool you are using is not compatible with the SDK, then
controlling the PP-50 can be accomplish by the Direct Control method that access the
PP-50 resident commands directly.
