❏ Convenience
•
Allows you to make horizontally long printings by rotated printing, for example
landscape format receipt. When using the TM printer oriented vertically (wall mount), it
can print backward to make it easy to read for customers.
•
Allows you to print images as a background.
❏ Expandability
•
Printer sharing is supported. Allows you to share TM printer with other computers on a
network. (Printer sharing through a print server is not supported.)
•
Allows you to use ESC/POS commands control.
❏ Programming
•
Win32/.Net environment is supported. See the "Status API Manual" to find out which
development language is supported.
•
Allows you to check the status of the device (TM printer) by using the Status API.
❏ Installation
•
Allows you to copy the existing settings of the APD environment to other computers.
(Silent Install)
•
After the APD installation, the printer driver will be automatically installed to the TM
printer equipped with a USB interface by the Plug and Play function.
❏ Compatibility
•
Note that APD 4.xx cannot coexist with APD 2.xx or 3.xx.
Note:
When you install APD 4.xx in an environment in which APD 2.xx or 3.xx is already
installed, APD first automatically uninstalls the previous version before installing 4.xx
•
Coexistence with OPOS in a computer is not possible.
