Windows DriversV. 3.0.3.0

Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10Transact Core Driver Package

Description:
The Transact Core Driver Package provides a convenient way for users to integrate their Transact 203 DPI thermal printer (280, 430, 480, 610, 630, 880, 3000, 8040, 9000, and Ultra) with the Windows Operating System.

The installation wizard allows the user to select 1 of 4 different default paper widths: 304 dots, 576 dots, 608 dots, or 640 dots.  NOT all printers support all widths, so the user must make sure that they choose a default paper width that is compatible with the Transact printer they are installing.  For example: the 3000 printer only supports 640 dots wide paper, so the user should select 640 dots as the default width.

This installation package will also install the Transact Printer Properties application that allows the user to edit certain print job characteristics such as add Start of Print Job and End of Print Job commands, End of Print Job line feeds, an end of Print Job knife cut, et cetera.  This application is nearly identical to and in addition to the Transact Printer Properties tab provided under the Printer Properties dialog in Devices and Printers; however, there are known Privilege/Access issues with some Windows setups that prevent users from making changes via the dialog.  Hence the inclusion of the separate application.
 
Latest Version:
3.0.3.0

Release Date:
February 2017

Changes:
1.    (ID 185) Added Transact Epic 3000 support to driver.

OPOS DriversV. 1.13.11

Windows 7, 8.1, 10

What is OPOS? OPOS or OLEPOS stands for Object Linking and Embedding for Point Of Sale. This is a standard way to interface to a POS printer or other POS devices.

The OPOS printer interface for the PcOS Series printers allows an application programmer access to printer functionality that is otherwise unavailable using normal Operating System API function calls. This allows applications to be built which can utilize the special features of the PcOS series printers.

What is in the download? 1.The drivers: Printer and Cash drawer Service Objects and Control Objects. 2.PcOS OPOS Reference Manual for the PcOS Series Printers (IthacaOPOS.doc). 3.A Visual Basic demonstration application. 4.A setup/configuration utility (installed in the Control Panel).

Which printers do these drivers support? The BANKjet® 1500, BANKjet® 1580, BANKjet® 2500, Epic 430TM, Epic 880TM, Ithaca KITCHENjet® 1000, POSjet® 1000, POSjet® 1500, iTherm®280, Ithaca® 610, Ithaca® 8000, Ithaca® 8040, 90 Series, 150 Series, and Itherm® 9000.

Support for both Serial and Parallel I/O Ports? Yes with the POSjet® 1000, POSjet® 1500, 610, 90, and 150 Series.

Note: It is highly recommended that you read the sections "Printer Configuration for OPOS" and "Important Guidelines" in the Reference Manual IthacaOPOS.doc. This information will help you utilize your printer most effectively.

Key Features of the OPOS Interface The OPOS printer interface allows Synchronous and Asynchronous modes of operation. In the Synchronous mode of operation, print methods are called and do not return until the print operation is completed or an error occurs that prevents printing. This synchronous mode of operation allows error checking as a return value of the print method called.

Conversely, in the asynchronous mode of operation, the print method returns immediately without waiting for the print job to finish. This mode has the advantage of faster operation, the errors are handled by error event processing.

Transaction Mode In Transaction Mode print requests are buffered up until transaction mode is exited. hen the buffered text is printed. This allows a transaction to be built and then sent all at once.

StatusUpdateEvent This event notifies the application when a significant event occurs. These are things like printer cover open, and receipt paper gone.

ErrorEvent This event notifies the application when an error event occurs.

OutputCompleteEvent This event notifies the application when an output complete event occurs in asynchronous mode. See the Reference Manual(IthacaOPOS.doc in the down load).

Bitmap Functions/Methods This bitmap print interface is easy to use, all the application needs to supply is the file name of the bitmap to be printed. There are functions to set/save the bitmap for later print via OPOS defined escape codes.

OPOS defined Escape codes There are escape codes defined to feed paper, fire a stamp, print a pre-stored logo, print a bitmap, select fonts, bold, italic, underline, double size print, justification, and more. See "Data Characters and Escapes Sequences" in the Appendix of the Reference Manual (IthacaOPOS.doc in the down load).

Rotated Print There are four modes of Rotated Print; Normal, 90L, 90R, and 180. These modes are entered via "RotatePrint" method. The 90L, 90R cause text sent to "PrintNormal" to be buffered up until the Rotated Print mode is change to Normal. The rotated print uses "LineHeight" and "LineChars" properties(as normal print does) to set rotated print height and character pitch.

Properties Some of the pertinent properties are:

"RecLineChars" number of characters per print line. "RecLineSpacing" number of map mode units (dots) between top of one line to top of next line. "RecLetterQuality" turns on/off enhanced print quality. "RecNearEnd" near end of receipt paper. "RecEmpty" end of receipt paper. See the appendix of the Reference Manual (IthacaOPOS.doc in the down load) for all the properties and their definitions. "BeginInsertion" Opens form clamp mechanism for validation. "EndInsertion" Closes form clamp mechanism for validation. "BeginRemoval" Opens form clamp mechanism for slip removal. "EndRemoval" Ends slip removal mode. "CutPaper" Cuts receipt paper. "PrintBarCode" Prints a bar code. "PrintBitmap" Prints a bitmap using a file name. "PrintImmediate" Prints with out waiting. "PrintNormal" Normal method of printing text to the printer. "RotatedPrint" Sets rotation mode. "SetBitmap" This will store a bitmap for use later via OPOS Escape code. "SetLogo" This will store a logo for use later via OPOS Escape code. Note: Escape codes are allowed, including bitmap codes. "TransactionPrint" Turns on/off transaction print mode. "ValidateData" Method used to determine whether a data sequence (including escape codes) is valid for print.

Transact Pos for .NET DriversV. 1.12.1.6

Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8

Prerequisites
Following installations are necessary prior to installing Transact Technology's Pos for .Net driver:
.NET Framework Redistributable Package version 2.0 or a higher version
Microsoft Point of Service for .NET v1.12


Supported Printers
Following printers are supported by Transact Pos for .Net driver. Transact Series 90, 150, 280, 430, 500, 610, 880, 1000, 1500, 1580, 2500 and 8000

Installing the driver:
The Transact Pos for .Net driver can be installed by running the setup program provided for installing the driver.

After installing the Transact Pos for .Net driver, it is necessary to properly configure the driver.

Run the NetOPOSConfig.exe to configure the driver. This can be done by going to
Start Menu-->All Programs-->Transact-->PosDotNet-->Launch NetOPOSConfig.exe

Note: On Windows Vista operating system, the setup program should be run in admin mode for proper installation of the driver and its related components.

Transact Virtual Serial Port Device Driver (TVS Driver)V. 1.0.0.4

Windows XP (32-bit & 64-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit & 64-bit), Windows 7 (32-bit & 64-bit), Windows 8 (32-bit & 64-bit)This is a release of the Transact's Virtual Serial Com Driver for Window7-64.
It has completed Microsoft's quality test and has been signed by them.

It is targeted for Windows 8, Windows 7, and Vista (64 and 32 bit). However, XP can also run this but installation might have to be done after printer plug-in as a driver replacement, as XP does not have the pnputil utility.

Before connecting any printers please read TUSerialInstall.rtf and if the printer must remain configured as USB Composite then Vista Install Composite.rtf shows how this is done. If printers had already been connected, it may be easier to revert a test PC to a restore point rather than trying to clear all the places that knowledge of a USB device is kept by the operating system. If that is not possible then the driver replacement option in Driver Manager can be taken.

At install time the COM port number is automatically assigned by the operating system. If the number needed by the application is fixed, then a TransChangePort utility is provided to make this change. Install and port changes only work when run in administrative mode.
Additionally, a batch file showing the minimum commands needed for this reassignment is provided for use in custom install scripts.

Uninstall is done by using Driver Manager and selecting uninstall on the virtual port.

Windows DriversV. 3.0.3.0

Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10Transact Core Driver Package

Description:
The Transact Core Driver Package provides a convenient way for users to integrate their Transact 203 DPI thermal printer (280, 430, 480, 610, 630, 880, 3000, 8040, 9000, and Ultra) with the Windows Operating System.

The installation wizard allows the user to select 1 of 4 different default paper widths: 304 dots, 576 dots, 608 dots, or 640 dots.  NOT all printers support all widths, so the user must make sure that they choose a default paper width that is compatible with the Transact printer they are installing.  For example: the 3000 printer only supports 640 dots wide paper, so the user should select 640 dots as the default width.

This installation package will also install the Transact Printer Properties application that allows the user to edit certain print job characteristics such as add Start of Print Job and End of Print Job commands, End of Print Job line feeds, an end of Print Job knife cut, et cetera.  This application is nearly identical to and in addition to the Transact Printer Properties tab provided under the Printer Properties dialog in Devices and Printers; however, there are known Privilege/Access issues with some Windows setups that prevent users from making changes via the dialog.  Hence the inclusion of the separate application.

OPOS DriversV. 1.13.11

Windows 7, 8.1, 10

What is OPOS? OPOS or OLEPOS stands for Object Linking and Embedding for Point Of Sale. This is a standard way to interface to a POS printer or other POS devices.

The OPOS printer interface for the PcOS Series printers allows an application programmer access to printer functionality that is otherwise unavailable using normal Operating System API function calls. This allows applications to be built which can utilize the special features of the PcOS series printers.

What is in the download? 1.The drivers: Printer and Cash drawer Service Objects and Control Objects. 2.PcOS OPOS Reference Manual for the PcOS Series Printers (IthacaOPOS.doc). 3.A Visual Basic demonstration application. 4.A setup/configuration utility (installed in the Control Panel).

Which printers do these drivers support? The BANKjet® 1500, BANKjet® 1580, BANKjet® 2500, Epic 430TM, Epic 880TM, Ithaca KITCHENjet® 1000, POSjet® 1000, POSjet® 1500, iTherm®280, Ithaca® 610, Ithaca® 8000, Ithaca® 8040, 90 Series, 150 Series, and Itherm® 9000.

Support for both Serial and Parallel I/O Ports? Yes with the POSjet® 1000, POSjet® 1500, 610, 90, and 150 Series.

Note: It is highly recommended that you read the sections "Printer Configuration for OPOS" and "Important Guidelines" in the Reference Manual IthacaOPOS.doc. This information will help you utilize your printer most effectively.

Key Features of the OPOS Interface The OPOS printer interface allows Synchronous and Asynchronous modes of operation. In the Synchronous mode of operation, print methods are called and do not return until the print operation is completed or an error occurs that prevents printing. This synchronous mode of operation allows error checking as a return value of the print method called.

Conversely, in the asynchronous mode of operation, the print method returns immediately without waiting for the print job to finish. This mode has the advantage of faster operation, the errors are handled by error event processing.

Transaction Mode In Transaction Mode print requests are buffered up until transaction mode is exited. hen the buffered text is printed. This allows a transaction to be built and then sent all at once.

StatusUpdateEvent This event notifies the application when a significant event occurs. These are things like printer cover open, and receipt paper gone.

ErrorEvent This event notifies the application when an error event occurs.

OutputCompleteEvent This event notifies the application when an output complete event occurs in asynchronous mode. See the Reference Manual(IthacaOPOS.doc in the down load).

Bitmap Functions/Methods This bitmap print interface is easy to use, all the application needs to supply is the file name of the bitmap to be printed. There are functions to set/save the bitmap for later print via OPOS defined escape codes.

OPOS defined Escape codes There are escape codes defined to feed paper, fire a stamp, print a pre-stored logo, print a bitmap, select fonts, bold, italic, underline, double size print, justification, and more. See "Data Characters and Escapes Sequences" in the Appendix of the Reference Manual (IthacaOPOS.doc in the down load).

Rotated Print There are four modes of Rotated Print; Normal, 90L, 90R, and 180. These modes are entered via "RotatePrint" method. The 90L, 90R cause text sent to "PrintNormal" to be buffered up until the Rotated Print mode is change to Normal. The rotated print uses "LineHeight" and "LineChars" properties(as normal print does) to set rotated print height and character pitch.

Properties Some of the pertinent properties are:

"RecLineChars" number of characters per print line. "RecLineSpacing" number of map mode units (dots) between top of one line to top of next line. "RecLetterQuality" turns on/off enhanced print quality. "RecNearEnd" near end of receipt paper. "RecEmpty" end of receipt paper. See the appendix of the Reference Manual (IthacaOPOS.doc in the down load) for all the properties and their definitions. "BeginInsertion" Opens form clamp mechanism for validation. "EndInsertion" Closes form clamp mechanism for validation. "BeginRemoval" Opens form clamp mechanism for slip removal. "EndRemoval" Ends slip removal mode. "CutPaper" Cuts receipt paper. "PrintBarCode" Prints a bar code. "PrintBitmap" Prints a bitmap using a file name. "PrintImmediate" Prints with out waiting. "PrintNormal" Normal method of printing text to the printer. "RotatedPrint" Sets rotation mode. "SetBitmap" This will store a bitmap for use later via OPOS Escape code. "SetLogo" This will store a logo for use later via OPOS Escape code. Note: Escape codes are allowed, including bitmap codes. "TransactionPrint" Turns on/off transaction print mode. "ValidateData" Method used to determine whether a data sequence (including escape codes) is valid for print.

Transact Virtual Serial Port Device Driver (TVS Driver)V. 1.0.0.4

Windows XP (32-bit & 64-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit & 64-bit), Windows 7 (32-bit & 64-bit), Windows 8 (32-bit & 64-bit)This is a release of the Transact's Virtual Serial Com Driver for Window7-64.
It has completed Microsoft's quality test and has been signed by them.

It is targeted for Windows 8, Windows 7, and Vista (64 and 32 bit). However, XP can also run this but installation might have to be done after printer plug-in as a driver replacement, as XP does not have the pnputil utility.

Before connecting any printers please read TUSerialInstall.rtf and if the printer must remain configured as USB Composite then Vista Install Composite.rtf shows how this is done. If printers had already been connected, it may be easier to revert a test PC to a restore point rather than trying to clear all the places that knowledge of a USB device is kept by the operating system. If that is not possible then the driver replacement option in Driver Manager can be taken.

At install time the COM port number is automatically assigned by the operating system. If the number needed by the application is fixed, then a TransChangePort utility is provided to make this change. Install and port changes only work when run in administrative mode.
Additionally, a batch file showing the minimum commands needed for this reassignment is provided for use in custom install scripts.

Uninstall is done by using Driver Manager and selecting uninstall on the virtual port.
