The native USB solutions
The TPG, Inc. native USB solutions provide USB connectivity for applications that can talk
directly to a USB port. This solution is comprised of two distinct versions: an TPG, Inc.
vendor class USB and a USB Printer Class.
TPG, Inc. vendor class USB version
USB printer class version
The USB printer class solution provides a standard USB
interface that is supported by many operating systems.
Drivers to support this USB interface are available for
download and installation using the following
instructions, but may not be required.
This solution works on the Windows 98, Me, 2000, and
XP operating systems, and requires an TPG, Inc. printer
capable of being configured as a USB printer class
device. This solution is best for customers who want to
use Windows printer drivers.
If you have any difficulties installing the driver or operating the printer after installation,
look in Appendix A: USB Driver Installation, “USB driver installation troubleshooting”
page 62.

vendor-specific class USB interface. This solution
works on the Windows 98, Me, 2000, and XP operating
