Troubleshooting
Nothing is Displayed on the Screen
• Check that the USB cable is properly connected to the printer or to the computer.
U"Connecting to the Printer" on page 11
U"Connecting to the Computer" on page 14
• Adjust the brightness of the LCD screen by pressing the brightness up/down buttons.
U"Adjusting the Display Brightness" on page 16
The Screen Looks Dark when the Display is Attached in Portrait Orientation
When the display is attached in portrait orientation, the screen may look dark when viewed from the right or
the left, and may look differently when viewed from the opposite side. This is caused by gray scale inversion
phenomenon. If that happens, adjust the angle of the display.
However, if you cannot adjust the angle, for example, when you have fixed the display to a VESA mount, follow
the procedure below to make the screen appear brighter.
Remove the display and reattach it to the mount upside down.
1
Check that the screen is bright enough when viewed from an angle actually used.
2
At this step, the screen displays upside down.

Chapter 4 Application Development Information
Application Development Information
This chapter explains how to control the product as well as necessary information for developing system
applications using the product.
Controlling the Customer Display
This product supports the following control commands.
• ePOS-Print XML
• ePOS-Device XML
• ESC/POS
ePOS-Print XML and ePOS-Device XML can be used only when the product is directly connected to
a supported TM printer. See the link below for information on the supported printers.
U"Supported Printers" on page 51
To control the product from an application, use the above commands or the following development kits and
drivers.
• Epson ePOS SDK
• EPSON OPOS ADK
• EPSON OPOS ADK for .NET
• EPSON Advanced Printer Driver
ePOS-Print XML
ePOS-Print XML is the Epson original control command system for POS printers and customer displays. This
allows an application on a computer or tablet to send an XML-format request to a TM printer that supports the
XML over an HTTP connection. ePOS-Print Service that is pre-installed on the XML-compatible printer
receives the request and printing or displaying data is performed according to the request. For more details
about ePOS-Print XML, see the ePOS-Print XML User's Manual.
ePOS-Device XML
ePOS-Device XML is the Epson original control command system defined using xml for POS printers and
peripheral devices. This allows an application on a computer or tablet to send an XML-format request to a TM
Intelligent printer over a socket connection. ePOS-Device Service that is pre-installed on the TM Intelligent
printer receives the request and printing or displaying data is performed according to the request. For more
details about ePOS-Device XML, see the ePOS-Device XML User's Manual.
35
Chapter 4 Application Development Information
ESC/POS
ESC/POS is the Epson original printer command system for POS printers and customer display. With ESC/POS
commands, you can directly control all the product functions, but comparing to using drivers and the
development kit, more detailed information about the product specifications and combination of commands
are required.
For details on the ESC/POS commands, see "ESC/POS Command Reference for Customer Displays" by

Fixed Column and Row Mode
This mode is for users who use existing application software developed for an earlier customer display.
Modifying the software to use with this product can be done with less work. The number of columns and rows
of the text area are the same as those of DM-D30, DM-D110, DM-D210, or DM-D500. To use this mode, the
display needs to be installed in landscape orientation
When using this mode, use DM-D70 Utility to configure color of characters at power-on, background color,
slide show, and frame. The settings cannot be changed while running your application software.
Contents that can be displayed in the text and image areas in the fixed column and row mode are as follows.

Chapter 4 Application Development Information
Displaying Character String
Character string can be displayed in the text area. You can change the color of the characters and background.
In the standard mode, the number of columns and rows in the text area can be changed from application
software.
The character size is automatically determined by the specified number of columns and rows. The character size
is uniform in the text area and it is not possible to change the character size partially.
Displaying QR Code
A QR code can be displayed in the text area in the standard mode. Note the following points for displaying a QR
code.
• Display a QR code so that it fits inside the text area.
• A displayed QR code is not square. This is caused by difference in aspect ratio of the pixels on the LCD.
• Since the recognition rate of a QR code varies depending on widths of the modules, brightness of the display,
and characteristics of the reader, make sure to check the recognition rate beforehand to determine the
settings and use conditions so that the requirements of the reader are satisfied.
• Display a QR code so that it is not overlaid on the text area.

Displaying Graphics Data
Graphics data that can be displayed in the text and image areas are as follows.
For specifications of available JPEG and PNG data, see the link below.

Image data• Displayed in the image area in the standard mode.
• By specifying the display size, the image can be reduced or enlarged and displayed in the image
area.
Frame• Graphics data that can be always displayed in the text area to decorate the text area. To display
character string over the frame, the portion of the frame PNG data that overlap with characters
needs to be transmissive.
• Match the size of the frame data (horizontal and vertical pixel size) with the size of the text area.
ABCDEFGHIJ
0123456789
Slide show• Multiple graphics data can be displayed in turn at regular intervals in the image area.
• Match the size of each graphics data (horizontal and vertical pixel size) with the size of the image
area. If the size of the graphics data is larger than the image area, the graphics is reduced so that it
fits inside the image area.
• All graphics data used for the slide show need to be uniform in size. If they are different in size, an
immediately preceding image remains.
Storing Graphics Data
To display graphics data in the text or image area, store the data in the memory dedicated for graphics data.
There are two types of memory.
MemoryDescription
NV GraphicsNV (non-volatile) memory of the product. The data in the memory is not erased even when the
power is turned off. Graphics data for slide show or frame can be stored only in the NV Graphics
memory. NV Graphics can store data up to 10 MB.
Download GraphicsRAM (random access memory) of the product. The data in the memory is erased when the power is
turned off.
Download Graphics can store data up to 1.5 MB.
It is recommended to use DM-D70 Utility or TM Utility to store data in the NV memory. Graphics
data can be converted in appropriate format and then stored.
It may take about 110 seconds to store graphics data in the NV memory. This is because an
optimization of the NV memory is performed. During the optimization, a message “Optimizing” is
displayed on the screen.

Restrictions A
• Cannot be used in the standard mode.
• To use application software that uses ePOS-Device XML functions, change the ePOS-Device XML mode
from [DM-D70] to [DM-D30] using DM-D70 Utility. In addition, set the screen layout setting to [Fixed
column and row mode], and then select [20 x 2] as the number of columns and rows.
• When using DM-D70 Utility/ DM-D70 Firmware Updater, connect the product to a computer directly. They
cannot be used when the product is connected to the printer.
• TM Utility cannot be used. Use DM-D70 Utility instead.
Restrictions B
• To use the product in the standard mode, the product firmware needs to be updated to Ver. 03.06A/03.06B
ESC/POS or later.
• Restrictions A apply if the firmware is not updated.
Restrictions C
• When TM-T88VII and a computer are connected via a serial or parallel port, DM-D70 cannot be used in the
Standard mode.
Restrictions D
• When developing a PC-POS application software, you cannot use EPSON Advanced Printer Driver for DMD which is pre-installed in TM-T88VI-DT2 or TM-T70II-DT2 because the software does not support DMD70. Download and use EPSON Advanced Printer Driver 6 for DM-D70.
• When developing application software that uses TM-DT software, you need to update the TM-DT software
to Ver.5.10 or later.
