2. Features
2.1. Star Windows Printer Driver
The Star Windows Printer Driver is used to apply the futurePRNT series in Windows 10, 8.1, 8 or
Windows 7. Using this printer driver allows you to handle basic printing functions in many
Windows applications. It also allows you to configure graphic logo and peripheral unit (buzzers
and cash drawers) settings.
This printer driver, which supports a diverse range of device fonts, enables you to generate and
print barcodes and 2D codes of various standards or sizes using barcode fonts and 2D code fonts,
and also control the printer using control fonts.
The following shows a driver setting example when a buzzer is used as an option.
Example of driver settings:
2.2. OPOS Driver
OPOS(OLE for Retail POS) was created by industry leaders as a device standard for POS
hardware. OPOS is a Win32-based architecture for POS device access. The benefits of this
standard are realized in the ease of access to hardware in not only outputting data to devices, but
also reading back the status of the device.
This OPOS driver can be used with any existing OPOS compliant application. Star also
recommends use of the OPOS standard to any developer creating a Win32-based retail software
application.
Star’s OPOS driver offers full compliance with the OPOS standard version 1.13.

Software Manual
2.3. JavaPOS Driver
JavaPOS (Java for Point of Sale Devices) is an architecture used to access Java-based POS
peripheral units. It has a feature that enables operations in a platform-independent environment,
taking advantage of the OPOS standard. Also, in a Java virtual computer, the minimum system
requirements are lowered, thus reducing overall system costs as well.
This driver offers full compliance with the JavaPOS standard version 1.13.
The location of the JavaPOS driver installer is different for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
Confirm your operating environment and then install the necessary package.
Installer Location for Windows 32-bit Environments:
Program Files\StarMicronics\TSP100\Software\20151201\JavaPOSExamples
Installer Location for Windows 64-bit Environments:
64-bit Java Operation Environment:
Program Files\StarMicronics\TSP100\Software\20151201\JavaPOSExamples
32-bit Java Operation Environment:
Program Files(x86)\StarMicronics\TSP100\Software\20151201\JavaPOSExamples
To use this driver under the JavaPOS application, you should set the Java runtime environment to
Java Runtime Environment (JRE)1.5 or later.
To use this driver in Java Runtime Environment version 1.4.2, configure the following settings as
a starting option to run the JavaPOS application.
-Dsmj.dllpath=<StarIOPort.dll and StarIOJ.dll absolute-path-of-storage-folder>
At normal installation, the DLL file above is stored in the following folder.
Program Files\StarMicronics\TSP100\Software\20151201
Setting example:
Java–Dsmj.dllpath=
”C:\Program Files\StarMicronics\TSP100\Software\20151201” application.class
2.4. Star Virtual Serial Port Emulator
This function allows you to use the TSP100U/PU/GT/ECO with the USB interface equipped or
the TSP100LAN, TSP100IIIW and TSP100IIILAN with the Ethernet interface equipped using
applications for a serial printer.
Notes: This function may not be available depending on applications.

Software Manual
2.5. ESC/POS Mode
The TSP100 futurePRNT provides ESC/POS mode emulation, which can be configured in
“TSP100 Configuration Utility”. Thus, even if your current software is designed for the ESC/POS
mode, you will be able to use it as is, without making changes.
The functions (logo printing, journal, etc.) of the TSP100 futurePRNT remain usable even when
you print in the ESC/POS mode.
For information about how to use the ESC/POS mode, refer to "
Printer)".

3.6. 2D Code Printing Function (2D Code Fonts)
The 2D code printing function performs QR code or PDF417 printing using device fonts supported in
this driver.
QR code or PDF417 printing is realized with a combination of 2D code fonts
(”QR_CNTL”, ”PDF417”, ”DATA1”, ”DATA2”, and ”DATA3”) and control fonts (”ESC_FONT”
and ”ESC_FONT_KANJI”).
Each Font Function as follows;

3.6.1. Entering a 2D Code Font (QR Code)
Follow the steps below to describe a QR code.
(1) 2D code type setting
Only describe the parameters to be changed because the default value is set to each setting
item.
(2) 2D code data setting
Describe parameters and 2D code data following a 2D code data setting command.
(3) Obtaining 2D code expansion information (Option)
An error notification will be returned if any inconsistencies are detected in the settings made
in steps (1) and (2).
(4) 2D code printing
For information about commands, refer to the separate manual, “STAR Line Mode Command
Specifications".
Example: When generating a 2D code of "012345ABCD " with a QR code (correction rate:
25%):
Output \x00 -\xFF
is possible.
Output \x20 -\x7F
is possible.

4.3.1. Default Text Settings
■ Zero Style
The default zero style is "Standard".
Selects whether the printer prints zeros in non-slashed form or slashed form. Select either
“Standard” (O) or “Slashed” (Ø).
■ International Character Set
■ Code Page
The default international character set is "USA".
Changing the international character set will change certain characters in the character table to
match those characters fitting the selected location. Typically the changes are accented characters
and currency symbols.
The default code page is "Normal" in the Star Line mode and " ESC/POS 437(USA,std. Europe)"
in the ESC/POS mode.
Changing the code page offers additional special characters specific to each of the specified
languages.

Software Manual
■ Character Encoding
The default character encoding is "Single Byte Characters".
Selects the character encoding used by the printer. You can select either single-byte encoding
(common for all non-Asian languages) or any of the four available double-byte encodings (for the
corresponding Asian languages).
■ Font Type <ESC/POS mode only>
Standard: (the default): Selects the standard font.
Large: Selects a rounder, bulkier-looking font.
If "Large" is specified for "Font type", a larger text is created based on a font
design, and it looks a little tight because the character space is the same as for
the standard font type.
■ Character space (Right) <ESC/POS mode only>
0 (the default) to 3 dots
Use this feature to add extra space (in dot units) to the right of each character. Extra spacing may
improve appearance when you are using the Large font type.
4.3.2. Default Print Settings
■ Line Spacing
The default line spacing is "4 mm".
If the spacing is set to 4 mm (the initial setting), the printer will add a 1-mm line space between each 3-
84
Page 90
Software Manual
mm-tall line of characters. If the spacing is set to 3 mm, the added spacing is omitted and receipts are
correspondingly shorter. But note that the shorter receipts may be harder to read.
■ Print Density
Adjusting the print density allows for adjustment in the level of contrast to compensate for the different
levels of sensitivity of different types and grades of thermal paper. The recommended setting is 100%
(Default).
■ Print Speed
Depending on the application, it may be desirable to slow down the speed of printing. This is typically
done to adjust the quality of print based on the grade and type of paper used. The recommended
settings for most cases “High” (Default).

Software Manual
■ Print Width
The print width should be set according to the size of paper used. The default (recommended
print width) is 72 mm.The standard default print width is 72 mm, which provides 4-mm margins
on both sides of 80-mm paper. The 51-mm print width setting is appropriate if you are using the
optional 58-mm paper supported by the TSP100 futurePRNT.
Notes:The print width is automatically changed to fit the paper width specified at addition
of the OPOS POS printer.
After changed automatically, do not adjust the print width manually.
■ Automatic Retry
If a printing error occurs while "Automatic Retry" is set to "Enable", the sent data is resent from
the beginning.
Retry processing is repeated up to five times.
The default is "Enable" for TSP100U/PU/LAN/ECO, and "Disabled" for TSP100GT.
Note:
1 If "Automatic Retry" is set to "Disabled", the ETB command is enabled in the
application side. However, check that the ETB is returned for one job before sending
the next print data. If print data is sent simultaneously from multiple PCs, the ETB
will not be guaranteed.
2 In t he ESC/POS mode, the ETB command is not available even if "Automatic Retry"
is disabled.
3 The automatic retry function is not available for OPOS, JavaPOS, virtual serial port,
and virtual TCP/IP port.
■ Characters/Line (font A ) <ESC/ POS mode only>
42 char. (default): The standard for ESC/POS mode.
48 char.: The standard for Star Line mode.
86
Page 92
Software Manual
■ Resolution Pitch <ESC/POS mode only>
Star Line standard: Uses Star Line mode’s standard resolution. (Characters are smaller than on
true ESC/POS printers, so the printer receipt is smaller and the right margin is larger.)
ESC/POS compatible (default): Margins and line widths are the same as on a typical ESC/POS
printer. (Characters are the same size as with Star Line standard, but padding is added so that
printer area occupies the same area as on a true EPSON/POS printer.)
Using this function, you can use legacy software solutions with no change.
If "Star standard" is selected, the pitch value is not adjusted.

This function reduces the overall size of the printing.
However, to prevent any scanning errors, the size of printed barcodes is not reduced
even if the reduction settings are selected.
91
Page 97
Software Manual
■ Paper width used
The default setting is “80mm (Do Not Compress)”.
By changing the setting to 80mm->58mm, the printing area is compressed widthwise so that 58 mm
width roll paper can be used instead of 80 mm width roll paper.
1) If the print ing widt h is set to 51 mm using General Settings in the configuration
utility, the 80mm->58mm setting in Paper width used is disabled.
2) When Paper width used is set to 80mm->58mm, the barcode will be aligned on the
left margin of the paper when printed. If the printed barcode will be wider than
80mm->58mm, the barcode data will not be printed.
■ Receipt length reduction <TSP100ECO only>
The default setting is Original (no reduction).
The printing area can be compressed 50% reduction or 25% reduction lengthwise.
Because the size of printed barcodes is not reduced even if the receipt length
reduction settings are selected, the receipt length will be longer than the length for the
reduction ratio when printing data that contains barcodes.
4.5.2. Top Margin to First Line <TSP100ECO only>
The length from the leading edge of the paper to the first line of printing can be specified.
92
Page 98
Software Manual
The default setting is 3mm.
We recommend 3 mm as being effective for the ECO function; however, backward
feeding is carried out for each cut operation when 10 mm or fewer is specified. To
reduce the printing time, set to 11 mm.
4.5.3. On demand
This function reduces the amount of paper wasted on unnecessary printings by prompting the user to
select whether or not to print the data.
■ Enable on demand
To enable the on demand function, select the check box. When the on demand function is enabled, the
following confirmation dialog box will appear each time data is sent from the computer to the printer.
When YES is clicked, the data will be printed.
When NO is clicked, the printing will be canceled.
93
Page 99
Software Manual
Normally, the confirmation dialog box appears before the data is printed. However, in
rare cases, the confirmation dialog box may not appear, the dialog box may appear
after the data is printed, or other problems with the operation of the function may occur.
If any of these problems occur, restart your computer. After restarting the computer,
check that the on demand function is enabled and that the confirmation dialog box
appears at the proper time.
■ Saving Canceled Data
When the on demand function is enabled, the data for the canceled printing can be saved or deleted.
When Don’t Save is selected, the data for the canceled printing will be deleted.
When Save is selected, the data for the canceled printing will be saved in the following folder.
