Functions
•Enables connectionto peripherals (customer displays, barcode scanners, etc) via a USB or serial
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
SDK is migrated to the Epson ePOS SDK. For detail, refer to the Migration Guide included with
the Epson ePOS SDK.

functionto enable communications between applications. This
function allows for communications, etc. betweentabletterminals. (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.
