Chapter 1 Product Overview

Product Overview

This chapter describes features of the product.

Features

TM-T70-i is a receipt printer which can print directly from a smart device application or Web

application.

This product supports ePOS-Device

peripherals or network compatible TM printers.

*1: ePOS-Device: Epson original technology to control TM printers or POS peripherals via a smart

device application or Web application. This technology is realized by ePOS-Device Service running

on the products.

and ePOS-Print *2 and are capable of controlling POS

*2: ePOS-Print: Epson original printing function t

systems supported by XML and Web services. This technology is realized by the ePOS-Print

Service running on the products.

hat has a high compatibility with a variety of

Functions

•Enables connection to peripherals (customer displays, barcode scanners, etc) via a USB or serial *1

interface.

•The Epson ePOS SDK is provided for iOS, Android and Windows application, and Web

application development.

The Epson ePOS SDK is a software development kit that integrates the ePOS-Print SDK and the

ePOS-Device SDK. It is recommended that application software developed with the ePOS-Device

SDK is migrated t

the Epson ePOS SDK.

• Uses the communication box

function allows for communications, etc. between tablet terminals. (ePOS-Device SDK, ePOS-

Device XML)

•Supports Server Direct Print that sends a request for print data from the product to the Web server

at regular

intervals.

•Since print data can be saved in the spooler, applications can be released from processing print

jobs regardless of the printer status.

•When a network printer is registered, print forwarding process can be realized. Also, if the printer

is not ready to print, you can print from another printer.

o the Epson ePOS SDK. For detail, refer to the Migration Guide included with

function to enable communications between applications. This

•Device data notification function is realized, allowing for notifications to be sent from devices

such as barcode scanners to Web servers to trigger applications.

•Equipped with Web server that supports the scripting language "PHP" and database "SQLite3".

•Enables HTTPS *4 communication.

•Supports TLS1.2. SSL3.0 is not supported.

*1: Not available for TM-T70-i (without a Serial port).

*2: For more information on the communication box, see the ePOS-Device SDK for iOS User's

Manual, the ePOS-Device SDK for Android User's Manual, the ePOS-Device SDK for JavaScript

User's Manual, and the ePOS-Device XML User's Manual.

*3: TM-i firmware Ver. 4.1 or later.

*4: TM-i firmware Ver. 4.3 or later.

*5: TM-i firmware Ver. 4.4 or later.

For information on how to use these functions, see "Controlling the Printer" on page 63.
