Chapter 5 Application Development Software Manual EPSON JavaPOS ADK JavaPOS is the standard specification which defines an architecture and device interface (API) to access various POS devices from a Java based system. Using JavaPOS standard API allows control with Javabased applications of functions inherent to each device. A flexible design with Java language and JavaPOS enables many different types of computer systems, such as stand alone or network configuration, to use a same application. You can use JavaPOS to build applications and drivers independently of platforms. This allows flexible configurations using thin clients to meet the system requirements.  JavaPOS ADK Installation Guide *1: OLE technology developed by Microsoft divides software into part blocks. The OPOS driver is presupposed to be used with a development environment such as Visual Basic, unlike ordinary Windows drivers. It is not a driver to be used for printing from commercial applications. *2: This guide describes not only Epson-specific functions, but also general information on how to control printers using the OPOS ADK (in the chapter POS Printer and Appendix). 5 169
