Chapter 3 Handling
Handling
This chapter explains the basic handling methods for this product.
Turning the Power On/Off
The power for this product is supplied by USB bus power, which means that the power is supplied from the con-
nected printer or computer through the USB connector.
To turn this product on or off, turn the connected printer or computer on or off.
The display may not turn off while the power is still supplied to USB connector, even if the printer's
Power LED is off.
Changing the Angle of the Display Unit
You can change the angle of the display unit by holding the stand with your hand while moving the display unit.
The following shows the range of motion.
Do not exceed the range of motion when moving the display unit. Applying excess force when
moving the display unit may cause damage.

ePOS-Print XML can be used when this product is connected to the TM printer.
ESC/POS
ESC/POS is the Epson original printer command system for POS printers and customer display. With ESC/POS
commands, you can directly control all the this product functions, but detailed knowledge of printer specifica-
tions or combination of commands is required, compared to using drivers and applications.
For details on ESC/POS, see the specifications for this product. You need a contract separately to acquire the
specifications. For details, contact the store of your purchase.

customer display from the Web application or native application for smart devices.
It includes libraries, manuals, and sample programs.
TM
for Android
EPSON OPOS ADK
OCX driver that controls the POS peripheral devices such as the customer display
using the OLE technologies .
*
Because controlling POS peripherals with original commands is not required on the
application side, efficient system development is possible.
EPSON OPOS ADK
for .NET
The OPOS ADK for .NET is a POS industry standard printer driver compatible with
Microsoft POS for .NET.
It allows you to develop applications that are compatible with the UPOS (Unified
POS) specification.
When developing applications, use a separate development environment such as
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.
EPSON JavaPOS ADK
JavaPOS ADK is a UPOS driver in Java environment. You can develop applications
based on the UPOS (UnifiedPOS) specifications.
OLE technology developed by Microsoft divides software into part blocks.
EPSON OPOS ADK, EPSON OPOS ADK for .NET, and EPSON JavaPOS ADK are only supported when
connecting through TM-m30.

: Since a characteristic of the STN LCD is that it has a longer response time (when switching dots On/Off) com-
pared to VFD display tubes (DM-D110 etc.), it becomes harder to display marquees that have a short interval for
text display (horizontal scrolling).
When displaying a marquee (horizontal scrolling), we recommend taking into account the display response time
for the LCD (250 to 350 msec), and set the text display interval to 600 msec or more.
