3. Installation and uninstallation
Follow the procedures in "EPSON JavaPOS ADK Installation Guide" for
installation and uninstallation.
Note that cancelling or abruptly terminating the installer during file
installation could put the system in a state where further installation
cannot be completed. In order to install JavaPOS in this situation, use
the "Forced Uninstall" option and then run the installer again. If the
process is cancelled while the "Forced Uninstall" options is used, it's
possible that the system remain in a state where further re-installation
cannot be completed. In this case, use the "Forced Uninstall" option again.
When running the installer on a system where JavaPOS was previously
installed, it is necessary to install to the same location. If JavaPOS is
installed to a different location, previous settings may inhibit correct
operation. In order to install JavaPOS to a different location in this
case, use the "Forced Uninstall" option to clear all previous settings
before running the installer.
4. Support devices
Please refer to "SupportedDevicesList.txt" for details.
5. Notes of JavaPOS
5.1 Installation and uninstallation
1) When installing the software, create a folder with the name
"epson\pos" in the following directory.
Windows
Windows 2000/XP/Embedded:
<System Drive>:\Documents and Settings\All Users
Windows Vista or newer:
<System Drive>:\ProgramData
Linux
/var
Temporary files and information files required by DeviceService
operations are saved in this "epson\pos" directory. Do not delete this
directory.
2) If you select "Custom" for the install type and execute installing, do
not specify the root directory ("/") for a shortcut folder. The
shortcut folder will not be created. (Linux Only)
3) For installation, a restart is required when the "msvcr71.dll" file is
copied to or updated in the \WINDOWS\System32\ directory, or if a file
to be installed by the installer is in use at install time.
4) For uninstallation, a restart is required when a file to be uninstalled
by the uninstaller is in use at uninstall time.
5) Installer and Uninstaller were able to start for the second time.
However, this action is not supported.(Linux only)
6) There is a known issue with the uninstaller following an upgrade
installation where the uninstaller will be unable to remove all
installation directories. For default installation directory locations,
the "/opt/EpsonJavaPOS" directory will not be removed by the uninstaller
on Linux systems; the "C:\Program Files\Epson\JavaPOS" and
"C:\Program Files\Epson" directories will not be removed by the
uninstaller on Windows systems. You can manually delete these
directories after the uninstaller runs to completion.
7) If you select "Custom" for the install type and change the location
where to install the services of JavaPOS, you cannot start up the
CheckHealth tool from the shortcut of the CheckHealth tool created by
the installer. In that case, follow the instructions below to correct
the Shell script (or batch file) that is the basis of the shortcut.
8) After installing on Linux, there may be a
"java.lang.NullPointerException" error with the "RPMSpecFile" indicated
in the installer log file (Details:
"ERROR - There was a problem creating the RPM package. You may not be
running as root or may not have installed RPM Builder correctly.").
This is an RPM issue and does not affect the operation of the ADK.
9) Classpath setting
Jar files in the directory where services of JavaPOS are installed that
require setting for Classpath.
10) Please restart your system after upgrade install When installing by silent
from the older versions(Ver.1.11.20 - Ver.1.13)
5.2 Interface connection
5.2.1 USB connection
1) multiple models of the same type:
If multiple models of the same type are used in USB connections at the
same time, settings must be configured manually(See "5.2.1.1 Procedure").
Note that the procedure varies by model.
Windows : TM-H5000II/TM-H5200/TM-J2000/TM-J2100/TM-J7000/TM-J7100/
TM-J7500/TM-J7600
5.2.1.1 Procedure
1) Set the USB port setting [Port Name Type] to [Serial Number].
2) Specify the USB serial number as the port name.
The USB serial number is a serial number provided exclusively for USB.
The USB serial number can be checked with the following procedure.
- Perform a printer self-test print.
Generally, if the printer is turned on with the printer cover closed
and the FEED switch held down, self-test printing is performed on roll
paper.
- The serial number can be identified from the print results.
When the print results are in format a), the part shown as "ID" is
the USB serial number (in the example below YYYYYYYYYYYYYY is the
serial number). When the print results are in format b), the USB
serial number is the same as the printer serial number. In this case,
check the label attached to the printer.
a) When the USB serial number is printed
----------
:
Firmware Version X.XX ESC/POS
Interface UB-UXXXX Ver.X.XX
ID :YYYYYYYYYYYYYY
:
:
----------
b) When the USB serial number is not printed
----------
:
Firmware Version X.XX ESC/POS
USB Interface or other
:
:
----------
* "USB Interface or other" shown above may be printed simply as
"USB Interface."
Note that when setting the device using this method, changing a device
with a different USB serial number, requires changing the SetupPOS
settings.
Note that on Linux When using the Serial Number as the Port Name Type
for a USB connection, only the first 17 characters of the Serial Number
should be entered in SetupPOS.
If the "Found new hardware wizard" is displayed when the printer is
turned ON/OFF, cancel the wizard and install the EPSON Advanced Printer
Driver (Version 4.50 or newer). (Windows only)
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 DerectIO method
(DI_PRINT_FLASH_BITMAP2).
2) Data sent from the printer after OPOS is used
Device settings are overwritten once OPOS is used. Depending on this
action, data could subsequently be sent from the device. If you then
directly connect to the device without using OPOS, please disregard the
following data.
- 3-byte printer status sent when the power is turned ON
- 3-byte power ON notification sent when the power is turned ON
5.3.2 Keylock
1) Restrictions for using Windows2000.
The key lock function of the DM-KX060 (which is an optional keyboard
for the IR-700) is not available.
2) Although the SetupPOS function was documented in the DM-KX060 manual,
this setting is not included to the current SetupPOS. "KeyPosition
Compatibility Mode" will be set "UPOS Specification".
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/pos". Set the access rights of the "/var/epson/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
- When you use the sample program, the Login ID needs to be the
Administrator account group.
- Register with the logical device name.
POSPrinter : POSPrinter
LineDisplay : LineDisplay
MICR : MICR
CheckScanner : CheckScanner
CashDrawer : CashDrawer
MSR : MSR
Keylock : Keylock
ElectronicJournal: ElectronicJournal
- The sample program shows an example(s) of control methods.
Therefore, it does not guarantee the correct operations for
all the settings of all the devices.
7) The location to save the log files
The default location to save the trace log file and POSPrinter error
log files is as follows:
Windows
Windows 2000/XP/Embedded:
<System Drive>:\Documents and Settings\All Users\EPSON\pos\tm\Trace
Windows Vista or newer:
<System Drive>:\ProgramData\EPSON\pos\tm\Trace
Linux
/var/epson/pos/trace
