OLE for Retail POS (OPOS) Support

OLE for Retail POS (OPOS) is an object-based programming environment for the development of Point-of-Sales (POS) terminal applications. OPOS allows POS developers to run their applications unmodified across a complete range of industry standard POS terminals and peripherals. This provides retailers with increased flexibility and reduces the effort required to ensure cross-platform operations for POS applications developed using the OPOS standard. OPOS reduces the cost of development usually associated with developing applications for proprietary hardware peripherals.

Epson, NCR, and Fujitsu in conjunction with Microsoft developed the OPOS specification. This specification describes the OLE control architecture that allows hardware and software vendors to use highly productive development environments, such as Visual Basic, to create POS application software in a device independent manner.

The software available for download is developed to the OPOS 1.10 specification. Click the link below to download the Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc. (FTXS) OPOS Service Object installation program.

OPOS Overview

OPOS Controls adhere to the OLE Control specifications. They expose properties, methods, and events to a containing application. The controls are invisible at run time, and rely upon the containing application for requests through property accesses and method invocations. Responses are given to the application through method return values and parameters, properties, and asynchronously through events.

Known Issues:
Under certain WindowsXP environments the 133PQ Keyboard is not enumerated correctly during installation on the TeamPOS2000 resulting in some of the Keyboard functionality (e.g., the MSR) being non-operational under OPOS. To resolve this issue, the BIOS Setup setting for ACPI should be set to Enabled -PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION OF THE WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM to permit the correct enumeration of the keyboard device and proper operations.

For an installation where the BIOS Setting for ACPI was set to Disabled during WindowsXP installation, Microsoft has provided a work-around for this issue - that involves the disabling of TermDD.sys - in the form of a registry change as follows:

Under the registry key:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermDD

Set the 'Start' key value to be '4' then reboot the system.

POS Keyboard Service Objects:

133PQ POS Keyboard Service Object: The POS keys are an integral part of the 133PQ POS/PC Keyboard. POS keys are sent via the standard PC-AT interface used for the QWERTY keyboard device. POS key scancodes are filtered by the POS keyboard SO using a WIN32 API keyboard hook routines. The translated codes are then sent to the POS Keyboard CO using the methods and properties specified in the OPOS Specification. POS key scancodes are translated by the default scan table in the SO or by a user defined translate table in the registry.

104P Keyboard Service Object: The 104P Keyboard has 104 key positions and is similar to the Model 133PQ keyboard but does not have a standard QWERTY section. Standard features are a speaker with volume control, and a 4-position key lock, plus an optional three-track MSR.

The 104P keyboard utilizes the corresponding 133PQ Service Objects to support the POS keys, MSR, Keylock, and ToneIndicator (speaker) devices.

92R/92M/92U Keyboard Service Object: The 92R/92M/92U POS keyboard is an RS232 or USB interface keyboard that supports 92 POS keys, an optional built-in LineDisplay, a KeyLock device, a ToneIndicator, and an optional MSR.

Release 1.10.3 is primarily a maintenance release with corrections and updates for the following:

• A problem was fixed in all the TeamPoS 3000 device services that could cause a problem if the application made a request at the same time the device issued a notification.
• Corrections were made to the TeamPoS 3000 device services event logging.
• Corrections were made to the TeamPoS 3000 device services to resolve some missing exclusive queue accesses.
