ePDK™ is a Printer Driver Development Kit specifically designed to give developers
the ability to add printing capabilities to their embedded applications running
VxWorks®. ePDK takes advantage of the Wind River Multimedia Library (WindML™), the
VxWorks graphic layer developed to support multimedia applications running on embedded
systems, with the addition of a WindML Print API.
The WindML™ Print API is an added component, and does not modify or replace any
code within the existing WindML API. This architecture allows the developer to leverage
WindML graphic contexts for use by the Print API. ePDK includes a Printer Control
Language (PCL) printer driver, which supports text, bitmaps, and essential graphics,
and can be enhanced to support additional PCL commands. ePDK can also be used to
develop printer drivers for other printer languages.
ePDK is also supplied with a Print Manager / Spooler to allow effective management
and control of print jobs.
