  • Of Epos SDK for Ios Cannot Find the Network Printer on Ios/Ipados 14 Or Later
    Workaround for an issue regarding 'Discovery' of ePOS SDK for iOS cannot find the network printer on iOS/iPadOS 14 Seiko Epson Corporation Dec 14th, 2020 Issue 'Discovery' of ePOS SDK for iOS cannot find the network printer on iOS/iPadOS 14 or later. Cause This issue depends on the specification change of iOS/iPadOS 14. From iOS/iPadOS 14 or later, users have to apply to Apple and change their implementation if the app sends broadcast or multicast messages. Because the ePOS SDK uses broadcast to search for printers. Workaround methods As of now, SEC thinks there are 2 workaround methods. 1. Version down of "Target" on "TARGETS" “General” " Deployment Info" to lower than iOS12.0 (iOS11.4 or before). Also, enable the local network in iOS settings. 1 / 6 2. If customer would like to use new function of iOS14 or later, user has to apply the "Multicast Networking Entitlement" on Apple Developer's site. <Condition: A & B> A. Tablet OS: iOS/iPadOS version is 14.0 or later. B. Using "Deployment Info" on "project" "Target" is iOS 12.0 or later <Procedure> It needs 3 steps. See below.

  • Device Manager 1
    CHAPTER 1 Device Manager 1 This chapter describes how your application can use the Device Manager to transfer information into and out of a Macintosh computer. The Device Manager controls the 1 exchange of information between applications and hardware devices. Manager Device This chapter provides a brief introduction to devices and device drivers (the programs that control devices) and then explains how you can use the Device Manager functions to ■ open, close, and exchange information with device drivers ■ write your own device driver that can communicate with the Device Manager ■ provide a user interface for your device driver by making it a Chooser extension or desk accessory. You should read the sections “About the Device Manager” and “Using the Device Manager” if your application needs to use the Device Manager to communicate with a device driver. Applications often communicate with the Device Manager indirectly, by calling functions of other managers (for example, the File Manager) that use the Device Manager. However, sometimes applications must call Device Manager functions directly. The sections “Writing a Device Driver,” “Writing a Chooser-Compatible Device Driver,” and “Writing a Desk Accessory,” provide information you’ll need if you are writing your own device driver. If you writing a device driver, you should understand how memory is organized and allocated in Macintosh computers. See Inside Macintosh: Memory, for this information. You should also be familiar with resources and how the system searches resource files. You can find this information in the chapter “Resource Manager” in Inside Macintosh: More Macintosh Toolbox. If your device driver is to perform background tasks, you’ll need to understand how processes are scheduled.

  • Exporting Quicktime Files from Final Cut Pro
    Exporting Quicktime files from Final Cut Pro This is the only supported method for getting video out of Final Cut Pro as Quicktime files in the Digital Studio. Other approaches or settings may work, but require testing first. Exporting material from Apple ProRes 422 files is slow, plan ahead and test early if you are planning to run down to the last minute when finishing a project. Before starting the export process, be sure to save your Final Cut Pro project and ensure no extra material is on the timeline. Typing Shift-Z while the timeline is active will zoom to show all media. If you have extra clips after the end of your video, you must either set an out point on the timeline at the desired end of the video or delete the extraneous clips. Failure to do so will result in a longer video (and export process) than expected. Make sure the Timeline is the active window in Final Cut Pro by clicking in it. File > Send To > Compressor... In the Settings Window, find the setting at Apple > Formats > QuickTime > QuickTIme H.264 and drag it to the export entry in the Batch/Untitled window. This applies the proper file format to your export. The default export location is locked on DIgital Studio computers due to user account access and must be changed before exporting your video is possible. To do that, click once on the entry in the Batch/Untitled window, then select Target > Destination > Other and point the export location to your external hard drive and click “Open” Click “Submit” in the Batch/Untitled window, and again in the dialog that opens up.
