Epson OPOS

EpsonNet Config V4 (for network connection only)

Normally you might use this from your own machine but in this case I've installed it on the POS. This is a program that scans for Epson devices on the network and allows you to configure the printer itself. For example you can change weather the printer has a static IP address or gets one from a DHCP server.

Epson OPOS ADK (installer needed on every POS)

Installs OPOS drivers that provides a uniformed communication layer between POS application (Centara) and an OPOS compatible device (for example Epson TMT88). Also installs a configuration utility to set things up and diagnose.
