Refer to Supported Model List for support information.
2. API functions
StarPRNT SDK and StarXpand SDK are not fully compatible in terms of functionality.Refer to Supported API List to see whether the functions you are using are supported by StarXpand SDK.

Refer to the migration procedures for the following basic operations and modify the code accordingly.
You can migrate partially and use both SDKs within a single project.

- Send Printing Data
- Use Cash Drawer
- Use Barcode Reader
