Software Description Operating environment 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 Java based 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.
