摘要： Methods and apparatus for driving a printer are provided. Data indicative of cash information to be printed on a cash voucher is received at a first driver from a local controller. Data indicative of non-cash information to be printed on a coupon is received at a second driver from a media controller. Printer commands are then generated by a processor in a standard format for the printer in response to data received from the first and second drivers. The data indicative of non-cash information may be stored in and obtained from media storage associated with the media controller. The media controller may forward the data indicative of non-cash information to the second driver in response to a signal received from the local controller. Alternatively, the media controller may forward the data indicative of non-cash information to the second driver in response to a signal received from a central system controller.

摘要： A peripheral such as a printer is controlled to receive data from different data ports. A first port receives data formatted according to a first protocol. A second port receives data formatted according to a second protocol. A first processor is associated with the peripheral. A second processor is associated with the second port. A switch is adapted to receive (i) first data from the first port and (ii) second data from the second port after processing by the second processor. The switch is controlled in response to a command received via the second port to couple either the first data or second data to the first processor for use in controlling the peripheral. New firmware can be downloaded to the peripheral via the second port in response to the command. The command can be communicated to the first processor via a separate port at the first processor and a memory shared with the second processor.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for determining print progress of a document being printed are provided. The print progress of a document is monitored during printing by monitoring means included in the printer. The percentage of the printing which has been completed is then computed in real time based on information received from the monitoring means. The computed percentage may be used to determine the print completion status of each print field of a document having a plurality of print fields. The computed percentage may be reported to a host device associated with the printer. The computed percentage may be stored in non-volatile memory of the printer and/or of the host device so that the computed percentage of completed printing is maintained during a power failure. The computed percentage of printing completed can be recovered from non-volatile memory upon power recovery.

摘要： The present invention provides a USB peripheral device belonging to a model line of identical peripheral devices. The peripheral device includes a USB interface enabling connection of the peripheral device to a USB port of a host device. The peripheral device also includes a memory for storing a USB device identifier. The USB device identifier comprises a standard USB device identifier that is the same for all the peripheral devices of the model line. The standard USB device identifier identifies each peripheral device in the model line to the host device as identical devices, thereby preventing device driver reinstallation and communication port reassignment when swapping one peripheral device for another peripheral device from the same model line. This enables identical peripheral devices to be "hot-swappable" such that they can be interchanged on the host device, even when the host device is powered up and running. Corresponding methods are also provided.
摘要翻译：本发明提供属于相同外围设备的模型线的USB外围设备。外围设备包括一个USB接口，可以将外围设备连接到主机设备的USB端口。外围设备还包括用于存储USB设备标识符的存储器。 USB设备标识符包括与模型行的所有外围设备相同的标准USB设备标识符。标准USB设备标识符将模型行中的每个外围设备识别为主机设备作为相同设备，从而在从同一型号线路切换另一外围设备的一个外围设备时，防止设备驱动程序重新安装和通信端口重新分配。这使得相同的外围设备能够“热插拔”，使得它们可以在主机设备上互换，即使主机设备通电并运行。还提供了相应的方法。
