Chapter 1OverviewOverviewThis chapter describes the overview of Server Direct Print and Status Notification.Overview of Server Direct PrintServer Direct Print function enables the TM intelligent printer to obtain the print data from the Web serverand print the data. The Web server application performs printing by including print data in the response to aprint request from the TM intelligent printer.1(1) Request(2) Response Data to be printed Web server(3) TM printer print dataApplication(1)(2)(3)TM Intelligent PrinterTM PrinterTM intelligent printer periodically sends a print request ((1) in the figure above) to the Web server.The Web server application includes print data in the response ((2) in the figure above) to a print requestfrom the TM intelligent printer. (When no print data exists, the Web server returns an empty response.)If print data for the TM printer is included in a response, the TM intelligent printer controls the TM printer inorder to do the printing ((3) in the figure above).The print data can be printed in the ePOS-Print XML format.Upon receipt of a response of print data including print layout from the Web server application, the TMintelligent printer converts the ePOS-Print XML format into the print layout and prints it.If the spooler is enabled in the TM intelligent printer, print data can be saved in the spooler, which allows anoperation in which the next print request can be processed regardless of the printer status. *In a system consisting of multiple printers, if forwarding is set in the TM intelligent printer, print data can beprinted from another printer when it cannot be printed from the printer. *1It also allows you to control display of a Customer Display connected to the printer. *2*1:For TM-i Firmware Ver.4.1 or later of the TM-i series. For TM-DT Software Ver.3.0 or later of the TM-DT series.*2:Only for TM-T88VI.7
