1.Note
The Epson ePOS SDK for iOS is an SDK aimed at development engineers who are developing
iOS applications for printing on an EPSON TM printer and an EPSON TM-Intelligent printer.
Depending on the surrounding radio wave environment, radio waves may become saturated
and communication may be disconnected. In that case please connect with the printer again.
(For example, power cycle the printer or turn off / on the OS Bluetooth setting.)
If it occurs frequently, please review the radio wave environment.

5. Remarks

- For detailed information, please see Epson ePOS SDK for iOS User's Manual.

- Under TCP/IP connection at iOS9.x, set the default gateway address to the
  network router.

- When printing process is repeated, create and destroy the instance of Printer class
  outside the iteration process and do not repeat it at short intervals.

- Call addTextLang API in first on each print data.

- In the following cases, please acquire the firmware list using the -AB option of download-FirmwareList.
  -When updating the firmware from 13.** ESC/POS to 13.** ESC/POS on TM-m30III and TM-m30III-H printers.
  -When updating the firmware from 63.** ESC/POS to 63.** ESC/POS on TM-T88VI and TM-T88VII printers.

- If you are using the firmware update feature, please update the SDK to ver 2.36.0 or later by February 2027. 
  This update is required due to the server upgrade scheduled for March 2027.

    TM-i  series (TM-i firmware version 4.30 or earlier)

  If you turn on the TM Intelligent printer after starting the search, the TM Intelligent
  printer may not be detected. In that case, leave enough time for the TM Intelligent printer
  to become printable, then start the search again.
