1. About this software


This package includes the following two software programs to use with an EPSON
TM series printer.

1) Windows Printer Driver


This driver is a Windows Printer Driver for the TM printer.
This driver makes it possible to print from a Windows application.

2) StatusAPI
StatusAPI is a program that works in conjunction with the TM printer
driver.
It offers an Application Program Interface for obtaining the printer status

whether or not the printer is printing. This API makes integrating printer
status handling functions with applications more simple.

For detailed information, please see each reference manual.

2. Supplied Files
- APD_513R1_T88VI_EWM.zip : Printer Driver, StatusAPI installer with manuals

Refer to the installation manual APD5_Install_en_revG.pdf.

3. Remarks
1) For detailed information, please read each manual that is created by the
installation
APD5_MAN_T88VI_EN_C.exe.

2) When an error message is displayed during installation, the following


procedure may enable to
recover from the error.
1) Specify the uninstall option, and execute the installer
"APD_513R1_T88VI.exe /uninstall".
2) Remove the error factor.
3) Execute the installer "APD_513R1_T88VI.exe".

3) In the Easy Print environment of Windows Server 2008, you cannot print the
printer device font
directly.
However, you can print the device font converted from the True Type font by
using
"Font Substitution" of APD.
For more information, see "Character Printing (Device Font)" in Printer
Manual.

4) When using Terminal Service and Remote Desktop, interactive communication


becomes unavailable
between the PC and the printer, prohibiting displaying the printer status
and obtaining printer
information using the Status API.

5) The port redirection function is unavailable for a client when using


Terminal Service or
Remote Desktop.

6) At times, the status of the shared printer may not be displayed correctly or
the Status API may not
be opened.
These problems arise from the security policy settings of the operating
system.
Although changing the settings of the operating system is possible by the
following steps, it lowers
the security policy.
(1) Go to [Start] - [Administrative tool] - [Local Security Policy].
(2) [Security Option] - [Network Access (Set "Limit anonymous sccesses to
the named pipe and shared
printer" to "Invalid".)]
However, you do not have to change the settings when a client PC is
connected to the domain
environment and when the same user name as a user name that is logged on a
client is existing."

7) Please use the same version of EPSON Advanced Printer Driver for each host
when a network printer
is shared among two or more hosts.
