Chapter 1 Overview

Overview

This chapter describes the features of and the specifications for ePOS-Print.

Overview

ePOS-Print is an Epson's unique printing function that uses XML and Web Service.

This function creates request messages in XML format using the application on devices such as computers, smart

phones, and tablets, and performs printing to a TM printer on the network using Web Service.

It also allows you to control display of a customer display connected to the printer. The control is available with a

specific set of printer and customer display. For the information, refer to XML Supported Printers (p.131).

This document is made up of the following sections:

 XML Print Service (p.10)

 XML Reference (p.19)

For details about the provided articles, refer to Provided Article (p.21).

Print data can be created in ePOS-Print XML format also with Server Direct Print. For details, refer to XML

Reference (p.64).

Chapter 1 Overview

XML Print Service

ePOS-Print XML allows printing to ePOS-Print supported TM printer from applications in an environment or on

OS where HTTP communication is possible. ePOS-Print XML embedded into native applications on smart phones

and tablet terminals makes it possible to print from such devices.

When a print document is sent from a host to an ePOS-Print supported TM printer using SOAP/HTTP, the ePOS-

Print supported TM printer performs printing and returns a response document.

Features

❏ Allows printing from SOAP/HTTP-supported devices. Not OS-dependent.

❏ Installation of drivers and plug-ins is not required.

❏ No computers or servers are required for printing.

❏ In case of TM-DT series/TM-i series, it can print to other TM printer via printer.

❏ Automatically checks the status of the TM printer before printing. There is no need for checking the status of

the TM printer in advance.

❏ Does not respond to a printer's function to automatically send its status (Auto Status Back). Instead, capable of

sending an empty print command and checking the status of the TM printer based on the result of command

transmission.

❏ To change the printer settings, utility programs dedicated to each printer or other utility programs should be

used.

❏ Capable of obtaining the printer status even when the printer is offline.

Interface Type

❏ SOAP/HTTP Interface (p.11)

❏ SOAP/HTTP Interface (WSDL supported) (p.11)

❏ Interface for FileMaker® (p.11)

Chapter 1 Overview

Check the followings for HTTPS communication.

• Prepare a certificate and secret key for the server, then register them to the printer.

• Self-signed certificates can be created by TM-DT series devices with version 4.0 or later of the TM-DT

software, TM-i series devices, and TM-T88VI devices. For instructions on how to create a self-signed

certificate, see Technical Reference Guide of the printer. Name and common name of the self-signed

certificate are the printer’s IP address.

• Common name of the server certificate and the host name of the printer must be the same. Otherwise,

HTTPS communication will fail with an error.

• Embed a CA (certificate authority) certificate, which is used to authenticate the CA signature on the server

certificate, in your program. Otherwise, HTTPS communication will fail with an error.

• When creating an iOS application, make sure to satisfy the requirements of ATS (App Transport Security).

• Comply with requirements for HTTPS communication of your application development environment.

• To send print data to the printer from an application on a HTTPS Web site, make sure to use HTTPS instead

of HTTP to communicate with the printer. Otherwise, the communication will fail with an error.

XML Reference

ePOS-Print XML is a POS printer command system that defines the major features of the ESC/POS command

system using XML.

XML Schemas

The ePOS-Print XML syntax is defined by W3C XML Schemas.

XML schemas help applications strictly validate XML documents using the XML API of the operating

environment. In addition, application developers can efficiently create XML documents using the XML document

editing support function of the integrated development environment.

Chapter 3 Programming Guide

Executing Print Service

Printing Mode of the TM Printer

The TM printer has two printing modes: standard mode and page mode.

Standard mode

In standard mode, characters are printed line by line. The line feed space is adjusted based on the font size and

the height of images, barcodes, etc. This mode is suitable for the type of printing such as printing receipts that

requires the paper length to change according to the print space.

Page mode

In page mode, you set a print area, lay out data in it, and print the data in a batch operation. Characters, images,

and barcodes are laid out in the print positions (coordinates).

Programming Flow

For the ePOS-Print XML, programming is performed based on the following work flow:

In this chapter, descriptions are made mainly based on a HTML5 environment. For an environment other than

the above, read such descriptions in ways that suit the relevant environment.

1. Print Document Creation (p 46)

❏ To create a text print document: (p 47)

❏ To create a graphic print document: (p 48)

❏ To create a page mode print document: (p 49)

2. Transmission of Print Document (p 50)

3. Reception of Print Result (p 53)

To ensure successful print operation, write a program in such a way that data is sent after checking the

printer status. For the above procedure, refer to Checking the Printer Status (p.56).

Chapter 3 Programming Guide

Print Document Creation

Create a print document using elements in the epos-print root element. For details on elements, refer to XML

Reference (p.64).

Refer to the following program for print document creation.

With the TM-i Series, the maximum size of printing data you can send at a time is indicated in the table below. If

you wish to send larger amounts of data, split it into smaller parts before sending.

These values may change depending on the TM-i firmware version and the printing speed of the printer.

For information about the printing speed, see the Technical Reference Guide for each TM printer.

Specify the printer end point address in the following format:

To Call SOAP/HTTP Interface (p.11)

http://[IP address]/cgi-bin/epos/service.cgi?devid=[device ID]&timeout=[timeout time]

To Call SOAP/HTTP Interface (WSDL supported) (p.11)

http://[IP address]/cgi-bin/epos/service.cgi

Items to specify Description

IP address Specify either the IP address or the domain name of ePOS-Print supported TM printer.

Device ID Specify the Device ID registered using the EPSON TMNet WebConfig(EpsonNet Config) of

ePOS-Print supported TM printer

Timeout period Specifies the time to abort the process in milliseconds. The maximum value is 300 seconds

(300000).

The timeout parameter is optional; when it is omitted, 60 seconds (60000) is set.

When the timeout period elapses, the print job is canceled; the data already interpreted by

the printer before the start of the print abort process is printed.

For SOAP/HTTP Interface (WSDL supported), the device ID and timeout time are specified in the SOAP

header.

Chapter 3 Programming Guide

Using the Spooler Function

Refer to Printer Functions (p.14) for more information on printers equipped with spoolers.

A printing job will be executed immediately and a response will be returned to the application after printing is

complete when sending a printing request to ePOS-Print Service I/F from the application when the spooler

function is disabled.

The print data job will be added to the queue and a response will be returned to the application without waiting

for printing to complete when sending a printing request to ePOS-Print Service I/F from the application when

the spooler function is enabled.

Even if the output printer cannot complete the printing task, ePOS-Print Service I/F does not return an error to

the application. If print forwarding is enabled, printing from a substitute printer is available.

The application can obtain the print result later by requesting an empty print data with the print job ID specified.

Refer to the sequence diagram below.

Sample program

Prints a 8 dots width and 8dots height raster image that is filled with solid color.

Supplementary explanation

❏ Grayscale printing is allowed in the standard mode, not allowed in the page mode.

❏ We cannot guarantee the accuracy of reading a barcode or 2D symbol printed in grayscale. Print it in

black and white.

❏ In order to print a raster image at a high speed, set "align" to "left" and set "width" to a multiple of 8

which does not exceed the sheet width of the printer.

❏ In the page mode, set the print position of the image so that the image does not extend beyond the

print area.

❏ If you set to print a raster image in grayscale, the amount of data of the image increases and may be

printed intermittently, which causes white streaks on printout.

❏ In the page mode, the bottom left corner of the raster image is aligned with the start position for print-

ing the image. The print start position is not automatically moved.

❏ Create a raster image using the ePOS-Print XML generation tool or your application. When using your

application, follow the instruction below for 2 colors image or 16 colors image, whichever you want to

create.

❏ The "align" setting is ignored in the page mode.

❏ When setting "align" in the standard mode, set it at the beginning of a line.

display. See Chapter 1 if necessary.

Interface

The end point addresses for customer display control on each interface are listed below.

❏ SOAP/HTTP Interface

http://[IP address of the Printer]/cgi-bin/eposDisp/service.cgi?devid=[device ID]&timeout=[timeout time]

❏ SOAP/HTTP Interface (WSDL supported)

http://[IP address of the Printer]/cgi-bin/eposDisp/service.cgi

❏ Interface for FileMaker

The files for accessing the customer display are listed below.

File name: epos-display-x.x.x.wsdl

epos-display-x.x.x.xsd

Restrictions

❏ You cannot confirm if a customer display is connected or if it was displayed.

❏ When controlling customer displays using more than one terminals or applications, the last display data sent

from one of them is displayed overwriting previous ones.

219

Chapter 6 Development Information for Customer Displays

XML Schemas

The file name of the XML schema for customer display control is given below.

❏ epos-display-x.x.x.xsd

Namespace

The namespaces for customer display control are listed below.

Command

The command for customer display control are listed below.

220

Chapter 6 Development Information for Customer Displays

Programming Guide (XML Print Service)

This section explains the programing methods for application development with ePOS-Print XML.

How to Use XML Schemas

In XML schemas, the configuration method is the same; only the TM printer files and file names are different.

See the How to Use XML Schemas (p.41), change the file name and configure the settings.

❏ XML schema file for TM printer

epos-print-x.x.x.xsd

❏ XML Schema file for customer display

epos-display-x.x.x.xsd

Creating and Sending the Documents to be Displayed

Create a print document using elements in the epos-print root element. For details on elements, refer to XML for

Controlling Customer Display (p.116).

Send the document you created with the XMLHttpRequest object.

Use the constructor to create an XMLHttpRequest object, specify the end point address of the customer display

to be shown in the send method, specify the document to be displayed and send it.

For details on the end point address of the customer display, see Customer Display End Point Address (p.223).

Since the end point addresses of the TM printer and the customer display are different, printing with the TM

printer and accessing the customer display cannot be carried out for the same document.
