Java POS issues from command prompt, although working properly from NetBeans

Question

I am trying to execute a sample program (built as .jar file using NetBeans) provided by EPSON with Java POS ADK, from MS Windows command prompt. After showing the UI screen, I am getting below error at command prompt

(From NetBeans IDE it is working properly and printing on EPSON TM-T88V printer when clicked on Print button ) -

What I am missing when running it from command prompt (running with Administrator rights). Any other permission required ? I could not find any documentation in this particular scenario, like running properly from NetBeans but throwing an exception from command prompt. I am running it on MS Windows 8.1 system.

Answer 1

Try this:
Install javaPOS ver. 1.14.6

On Windows 10 or Windows 8.1 copy:

1. BluetoothIO.DLL
2. epsonjpos.dll
3. EthernetIO31.DLL
4. SerialIO31.dll
5. USBIO31.DLL

from

C:\Program Files\EPSON\JavaPOS\bin\

to

C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0.171\bin\

Import lib to your project from

C:\Program Files\EPSON\JavaPOS\lib\

Run javaPOS application.
