Server Direct Print - Epson TM-H6000IV-DT Technical Reference Manual

Server Direct Print

Server Direct Print is implemented in the TM-DT software. The function allows the TM-DT software to issue
printing requests to Web server applications, conduct printing upon directly acquiring print data from the Web
server, and notify the printing results to applications.
General printing system applications perform printing upon designating the printer. A function for including
ePOS-Print XML print data in response to printing requests can be implemented in server direct print applica-
tions. Since the printer IP address is not specified from the application, printing can be performed via the Inter-
net even in environments where printing is difficult because the IP address cannot be acquired on the Web
server side or the device cannot be controlled via the Internet due to security policy settings.
Because the Web server application only includes print data in the response, printing can be performed without
designating the printer.
