information and the various devices using the SetupPOS utility. Use the SetupPOS utility to save the registry. At this point, pay attention to the following and create the files.

• Specify “Register All”.

(2) Perform installation on the target PC.

At this point, the following two methods are available. Select the method that suits the environment.

• Installation using the normal installation method.

• Installation using the Silent Installation method.

For the normal installation method, take the procedures described in “

3.3 Installation”. For installation using the Silent Installation method, see Section 3. “3.11. Silent Installation

”. When installing on the target PC, specify the registry file saved in procedure (1).

3.13. Precautions for Installation

• Overwriting installation is

not possible when an EPSON OPOS ADK of different

version or language (US version, Japanese version) has already been installed.

• It is not possible to read registry information files stored in an EPSON OPOS ADK of different version (including the service pack) or language (US version, Japanese version).

• Be sure to install the devices stated in the REG file information that is specified in the registry file import (that is, the devices that had already been installed or registered when the Setup POS utility stores to the REG file). If these do not match, operation cannot be guaranteed.

REG file information : POSPrinter, LineDisplay, MSR Installed device : MSR

If such a setting is made as shown above, a conflict is generated, as it is only the settings of the POSPrinter and LineDisplay that will become valid whereas

Version 2.65 Jul. 2009

User's Manual

Installer, SetupPOS, TMUSB

the actual files do not exist.

• If the installation fails for some reason, or it is canceled during the execution, be sure to perform a reinstallation. In the condition where installation has failed or been canceled, the settings, etc. may not be completely removed even if uninstallation is performed. EPSON OPOS ADK may malfunction due to the failure of the first installation even after the reinstallation. It is recommended to uninstall EPSON OPS ADK and install it again.

• When using USB POSPrinter, MICR, LineDisplay, CheckScanner, CashDrawer and ElectronicJournal, install the Epson TM USB Driver (Epson USB controller for TM printer series) in advance. It is not possible to install the USB OPOS information unless the Epson TM USB driver is installed. Users of the EPSON TM USB Driver should refer to "Section 6. EPSON TM USB Driver" of this manual.

• When Version 1.xx and Version 2.xx are installed coexisting, the operation of Version 2.xx will not be normal if the uninstaller of Version 1.xx is used. Be sure to uninstall Version 2.xx first, or use the uninstaller of Version 2.xx to uninstall Version 1.xx.

• If Version 2.xx is uninstalled under th e coexisting environment of Version 1.xx and Version 2.xx, the subsequent behavior of Version 1 is not guaranteed. In such a case reinstall Version 1.xx and make the prescribed settings.

• You can install and uninstall CCO using the SetupPOS utility; subsequently, however, the CCO registration information and the Installer cannot be synchronized. When CCO is registered by the SetupPOS utility while CCO is not installed by the Installer, or when CCO is released by the SetupPOS utility while CCO is installed by the Installer, the Installer message may not be appropriate.

• When overwriting Version 1.xx by Version 2.xx, the settings of the trace function on Version 1.xx may not be succeeded. They are as follows. CashDrawer: “Open Status Phase” (Device Specific Settings) POSPrinter: “Reverse feed removal” (Device Specific Settings) All devices: When the Trace file name is setting to default value by the OPOS API Trace Setting. Set the trace function again before using it after the information was succeeded. When overwriting Version 1.xx by Version 2.xx in the above cases, please redefine the setting by the SetupPOS Utility after installing. If both Version 1.xx and Version 2.xx exist at the same time and "Trace All" is selected for each version, only trace of either one of the versions can be taken.

• When the reboot setting after the Silent Installation is being specified, the system reboots automatically after the installation. The data being edited

Version 2.65 Jul. 2009

User's Manual

Installer, SetupPOS, TMUSB

should be saved or terminated before the installation.

• When installation of parallel driver with this installer is succeeded, please make sure to reboot the system. The rebooting enables the use of recommended parallel driver. Please note that if the system is not rebooted, the operation is not guaranteed at all.

• Upon completion of the installation, a Tmusb folder that stores the installer of EPSON TM USB Driver and a Lilac folder that stores the installer of recommended parallel driver are created at the target folder. Even if these drivers are not installed with this installer, they can be installed by execution of their installers later on.

4.5. Precautions for Uninstallation

• Uninstallation is not possible when an EPSON OPOS ADK of different version

or language (US version, Japanese version) is installed.

• The Uninstallation is executed on the condition that OPOS-related files are not

in use. If OPOS-related files are in use, a message that files cannot be deleted is displayed. When this message is displayed, close the application that is using the OPOS-related files. Then try again to continue the Uninstallation process. If the Uninstallation is not retried, files alone will remain in the directory.

• Close Explorer for executing Uninstaller.

• This Uninstaller does not uninstall the EPSON TM USB Driver and the

recommended parallel driver that are provided by the installer. However, the system operation is not affected by those drivers.

• If the parameter "/m" is specified for the Silent Installer, it operates in Silent

mode. For this reason, after the Silent Uninstaller is finished, do not execute the installer.

When the OPOS API trace is turned on, all OPOS API calls (all property access and all method calls) are traced, with the trace result recorded in the trace log file. Note that the "Global Trace" option takes priority over the "Private Trace" option, but when the "Private Trace" option is used, the "Global Trace" settings are deleted. For example, if "Global Trace" has been set to the POS printer and the user uses the line display to set trace to "Private Trace", the POS printer will be excluded from the target
