Method, Computer, and System for an Operating System Independent Device Driver

摘要

A method for driving a device that enables using a device without using a conventional device driver that is dependent on the operating system of the computer. The method has a binary data conversion step which receives a mark-up language document written in a mark-up language and converts the mark-up language document to binary data composed of commands and data that can be processed by the device. The method also includes a binary data output step in which the converted binary data is output to the device.

1. A printer processing method comprising:
providing a printer with a mark-up language parsing unit interpreting mark-up language data written in a mark-up language; wherein: the printer receives first mark-up language data from point-of-sale, POS, application; the mark-up language parsing unit executes a first binary data conversion step for converting the first mark-up language data received from the POS application to first binary data executable by the printer, and executes a second binary data conversion step for converting second binary data generated by the printer to second mark-up language data; and the second mark-up language data is sent to the POS application.
