then appended to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, as in the following 
example lines:
DLS_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/dls/JavaPOS/SupportJars
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$DLS_LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Any JavaPOS app must use the java command line option: 
-Djava.library.path=/opt/dls/JavaPOS/SupportJars
to ensure proper libraries are used
PATH — WINDOWS ONLY
During the installation process a new system environment variable by the 
name of DLS_PATH is created that contains the following string:
c:\Program Files\Datalogic\JavaPOS;c:\Program 
Files\Datal
ogic\JavaPOS\SupportJars.
This environment variable is then appended to end of the system environ-
ment variable 
PATH
. This is required so the runtime libraries of 
Win32Hid.dll and Win64Hid.dll will be found.
Device Service Control
The Datalogic Device Controls use a properties file to control certain 
optional operations, and to control trace logging. This file is named 
dls.properties. Upon initial service startup, if the service does not find 
the dls.properties file, it extracts a default version from the JAR file and 
places it in the same folder as the Java application started from. The user 
can now change the default settings, but the file must remain in the appli-
cation directory.
dls.properties file
Several of the entries are related to trace logging — see next section for 
details. The two remaining entries are described here:
com.Datalogic.jpos.service.ScaleService.ThrowExceptionOn-
ScaleMotion
Defaults to False
. If set True, the service will throw an exception when a 
weight request times out due to Scale In Motion (112) or Scale At Zero 
(114). If set False, the service reports a timeout.
com.Datalogic.jpos.interpretation.autoLoadConfig 
Default is True
. When True, the service will attempt to configure the scan-
ner/scale as per settings in the jpos.xml file upon 
startup. If False, the 
service will not send configuration data to the scanner/scale upon startup.
This must be set 
True
 if 
jpos.xml
 settings are changed by the user.
