The ES/S-B core system includes no default user interface but error messages. To be used, a functioning user interface must be supplied by the overlayed application. The result then can be called a ES/S-B Based (Web) Application. Without user interface however ES/S-B can still perform tasks, examples are integrated clearinghouse, automated facturing and API-only systems on finance and data processing.

To use ES/S-B as native application, the graphical parts are supplied within the hosting application, the vendor must then choose to implement logic and functionality on either sides, and implement control structures for the native applications by themselves using XML RPC or JSON.

ES-Network Printing System

ENPS Short for ES Network Printing System is the integrated, server-side based printing system for all ES/S Systems. It comes with all ES/S-B distributions and supports a wide range of printers without third party printer drivers, support of the printer does not necessarily depend on the operating system.

Normally, all ENPS printers are network printers, or at least, directly writable by ENPS as ENPS itself issues raw printer payloads.

Technical

ENPS divides printers in two types, Graphical and native. Support is upon printer control language, the data supplied to be printed, the ENPS drivers and the host system itself.

ENPS can print using operating system supplied drivers, it's own graphical and/or native drivers. For very fast printings, in high-throughput ticketing applications native drivers are preferred.

Supported native printer languages (drivers)

  • ESC/POS (POS Printers)
  • DieboldNixdorf HP (Pass Book Printing)
  • ESC/P, ESC/P2 (High speed impact printing)
  • IPL Honeywell(Thermal/-Transfer Printing)
  • ZPL Zebra(Thermal/-Transfer Printing)
  • TCPL TOSHIBA-TEC
  • DPP Honeywell
  • PCL5, PCL6
  • PostScript
  • HPGL
