Evolis Services Provider Framework Concept
The Evolis Services Provider Framework and Evolis Services Provider Framework 2
(based on Evolis Premium Suite 2) is a server and the gateway to the Evolis Suite
(Evolis, Edikio, Badgy Premium Suite) features (supervision or standard mode)
using requests.
All communications leverage IPC standard protocols (Socket or Named Pipe).
The request process is based on the JSON-RPC protocol, which eases the
enablement of clients as described in the next sections.
Overview of the services

The Evolis Services Provider (API mode) is currently composed of 7 services,
described in the schematic below:
• For each service, features could be accessed by calling a set of methods.

• Selected services require implementation of a specific call sequence.
4
Quick Description of the services
SERVICE NAME PURPOSE
CMD Bi-directional communication with the printer
Print Direct Printing of a card
Setting Printer configuration
Supervision Printer’s status management
Echo Test service
ESPF Server configuration
ADD-ON Management of ADD-ON execution

Ex : a third-party software for smart encoding
Request model
The request model used between the clients and the ESPF service leverages JSON-
RPC v2.0, a light-weight and stateless RPC (Remote Procedure Call) protocol using
the JSON format.
Notification and Batch concepts of JSON-RPC v2.0 are not supported for the ESPF.
The protocol is used in compliance with the following specifications:
• The params member is an object which member names matching the

parameters expected by the server. Any value is a String.
• The id member is a String. For a response to a processed request, but
with an unknown id, the id value is considered as Null.
• The result member is a String
• The data member is not considered
For Primacy 2 available settings, please refer to this section
5
Pay attention than the application software development made with Premium
SDK are fully compliant with Primacy 2 model but could require modifications in
case of new Primacy2 features (scan, rewrite…).
To send a request, client (software) sends a Requests object and receives a reply
from the server in the form of a Response object
REQUEST OBJECT
{
"id": "1",
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "CMD.SendCommand",
"params": {
"command": "Rfv",
"timeout": "5000",
"device": "Evolis Primacy"
}
}
RESPONSE OBJECT
{
"id": "1",
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"result": "1943"
}
The general syntax to call a method in a JSON request is "SERVICE" Method"

(method uses CamelCase), for example CMD.SendCommand (Use the Send
Command method of the CMD service).
6
This implementation, at the communication protocol level, must be carried out as
shown below:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(1) During the connection, the IP address, server port, or Named pipe are
identified according to the IPC communication protocol used.
(2) Request is sent through a call on a full buffer(no data sent while buffer is
sliced)
(3) Response to the request is expected to b a single reply
If an unexpected error happens on the server while communicating with a

connected client, server will shut down communication channel with this client. If
a client disconnects from the server, it will stop any in progress process.
When sending a request, if the reception of the request takes longer that a
configurable timeout (3,000 ms by default), the server will shut the communication
channel with the client (support for « half-open connections » issues).
7
Services – Technical description
CMD SERVICE
• Sends commands in text or binary format
• Receives statuses in binary format
• Reset communication
CMD.SendCommand Send commands in text or binary format

Command Text or binary command
timeout Timeout in milliseconds
device Device name
result Answer to the sent command
error Not acknowleged
REQUEST OBJECT
{
"id": "1",
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"params": {
"command": "Rfv",
"timeout": "5000",
}
}
RESPONSE OBJECT
{
"id": "1",
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"result": "1943"
}
8
To send a binary command, data must be base64-encoded. The command
parameter is made up of the encoded data complemented by the "base64:" prefix
e.g., a base64-encoded Rfv command:
REQUEST OBJECT
{
{
"id": "1",
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"params": {
"device": "Evolis Primacy",
"command": "base64:G1Jmdg0=",
"timeout": "3000"
}
}
}
RESPONSE OBJECT
{
"id": "1",
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"result": "1943"
}
If the response timeout is exceeded, the returned response will be an error with
related error code.
If the timeout setting is not indicated, default value will be affected. This value is
3000 ms for the service. This parameter is not effective for a networked printer
(Ethernet or WIFI).
9
CMD.GetStatus Retrieve
Retrievethe
the binary statusofofa adevice
binary status device
device Device name
Result Binary status of the device
error Error code
REQUEST OBJECT
{
"id": "1",
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "CMD.GetStatus",
"params": {
}
}
RESPONSE OBJECT
{
"id": "1",
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"result": "88D02420204000000000000000000000800C2000000000000000000000000000:32005 "
}
This method can be called even if the printer is printing a job or processing a
command.
10
CMD.ResetCom Reset communication with a device
Timeout Timeout in milliseconds
Device Device name

{
"timeout": "30000",
}
}
RESPONSE OBJECT
{
"id": "1",
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"result": "OK"
}
When response timeout is exceeded, returned response will be an error with related
error code.
If the time out setting is not indicated, a default value will be provided. This value is
of 3000 ms for the service. This parameter is not considered when the device is
networked.
11
