Printing Process

TM intelligent printer asks the Web server whether data to be printed exists.

When data to be printed exists, the Web server application creates an XML-format
response containing the data to be printed, and returns it to the TM intelligent
printer.
When no data to be printed exists, an empty response is returned.

TM intelligent printer prints the data to the specified printer.
4
TM intelligent printer sends a request (printing result) to check whether the data
was printed properly.
