Communication Box
A communication box, which is a virtual space for exchanging data between applications, is implemented in the
TM-DT software. The TM-DT software discloses the virtual data space, which is identified by box ID, to appli-
cations. The box ID can be used by multiple applications, making it possible to easily configure a system for
exchanging data between applications.
The communication box can be set and used from applications compatible with Epson ePOS SDK and ePOS-
Device XML.
This can be used in TM-DT software Ver.2.5 or later.
Communication Box Mechanism
The TM-DT 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.
