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
This function allows for communications, etc. between tablet terminals. (Epson ePOS 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.
o the Epson ePOS SDK. For detail, refer to the Migration Guide included with

function to enable communications between applications.
•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.
•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.
