  • Note) To execute a sample project, each development environment is required. No development environment is included in the b-PAC SDK.
  • *1: To use b-PAC on Microsoft Windows 95, DCOM95.exe must be pre-installed. Use the DCOM95.exe included in a development environment such as Microsoft Visual Basic, or download it from the download page of Microsoft.
  • *2: To use b-PAC on a P-TOUCH PC, download P-touch Editor Ver.3.x and the corresponding printer driver from the support page, instead of P-touch Editor Ver.2.2J included in the product.
  • *3: TD-4T series and TJ series are supported from Ver.3.4.008 or later.

Development Environment

b-PAC can be controlled via a wide variety of development environments on Microsoft Windows environments such as Microsoft Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual C#, Visual Basic for Application (Excel, Access), and Visual Basic Script (description in HTML).

  • b-PAC is actually implemented as a COM automation server. A user can print by controlling the b-PAC component. Therefore, an application or development environment that has ability to control the COM automation server can print.
  • Supported Microsoft Windows environments only.
  • Third-party software may only be supported for a limited period of time and compatible with specific operating systems.
    We cannot guarantee that your b-PAC version will work correctly with unsupported or obsolete operating environments.
