Your Application Program; On-Line Information; If All Else Fails - ABLE Systems Ap1310-DC User Manual

It is important to recognise that other Windows printer drivers, even for ESCPOS compatible printers,
may not work with the Ap1310-DC, as they format everything as dot graphics patterns, in a way which
is unique to each kind of printer. The Windows "Generic Text Only" printer driver should, however,
work in a limited manner.

YOUR APPLICATION PROGRAM

Once communications between your computer and the printer have been established, you can try
driving the printer from your application program. As referred to in the Programmers Guide, the
Ap1310-DC has a control code set based on the EPSON ESCPOS protocol. Many of the commands
are as closely compatible as they can be, given the mechanical differences between printers, but if
the application program was originally written for another printer, it may need to be modified.
