5.1 Installation and uninstallation
1) When installing the software, create a folder with the name
"epson\pos" in the following directory.
Windows
<System Drive>:\ProgramData
Linux
/var/epson_javapos
Temporary files and information files required by DeviceService
operations are saved in this "epson\pos" directory. Do not delete this
directory.
2) Upgrade install is not supported for windows.
5.2 Interface connection
5.2.1 Bluetooth connection
1) After turning off TM printer power, wait at least 20 seconds before
turning power back on. The printer will not print if power is turned
on before this time has elapsed.
2) When the power supply of a printer is Off, if a Claim method is
performed,before a response will return, it will take 7 seconds or more.
5.3 Devices
5.3.1 POSPrinter
1) Multi-tone printing:
There are following two ways for gray scale printing:
- PrintBitmap
Set to "Multi Tone" from SetupPOS [Device Details]->[Gradation], or,
Change the mode by DirectIO
method (DI_SET_BITMAP_PRINTING_TYPE)
For your information, white line might be seen in the print result when
gray scale printing via serial or Ethernet interface. Also, printing
speed might be slower.
-NVRAM
To register images in the NVRAM, it is necessary to register the image
by the utility software at first, then print by DirectIO method
(DI_PRINT_FLASH_BITMAP2).
2) You may not print when a printing is performed immediately after you open
the cover and close the cover quickly twice.
5.3.2 LineDisplay
1) MarqueeRepeatWait and MarqueeUnitWait property:
When setting MarqueeRepeatWait or MarqueeUnitWait below 300msec with
DM-D30 and DM-D70, it'll be 300msec.
5.4 Others
1) Stand by/hibernation mode for the OS
Since it is possible that the driver will become unstable if the
computer goes into stand by/hibernation mode while the printer is in
use, please avoid the use of stand by/hibernation mode.
2) The right of access to data (Linux only)
To store the necessary information, JavaPOS creates a directory called
"/var/epson_javapos/pos". Set the access rights of the
"/var/epson_javapos/pos" directory, all sub directories, and all files
so JavaPOS-using users are allowed to write.
3) The Drag & Drop function in SetupPOS requires GTK 2.10.4 or newer.
4) When SetupPOS is launched through a terminal on SLED 11 environment,
GTK-warning will be displayed.
However the operation of SetupPOS will not be affected.
5) The logo utility (TMFlogo, etc.)
The logo utility is not in this package. For uploading logo data to
nonvolatile memory, please use SetBitmap method, or please obtain the
logo utility.
6) Sample program

Administrator account group.
- Register with the logical device name.
POSPrinter : POSPrinter
LineDisplay : LineDisplay
MICR : MICR
