HP Point of Sale (POS) Peripherals Configuration Guide

6 Peripherals Connection and Software Installation
The USB peripherals should be installed after the Windows operating system has been unbundled.
Installing one peripheral at a time will help determine which peripheral has an issue if a peripheral does
not function. By installing one peripheral at a time, Windows may install the native drivers with very little
user interaction needed during the native driver installation.
Please note that the drivers for the HP peripherals are included in the HP factory image and are also
available from HP.COM.
In the following sections substitute “Compaq” or “SWSetup” for “xxxxx” when references are made to the
HP factory image. For example when one sees “C:\xxxxx\Point of Sale\Receipt Printer\Cash Drawer”
one would use “C:\Compaq\Point of Sale\Receipt Printer\Cash Drawer” for Windows XP Pro operating
system and “C:\SWSetup\Point of Sale\Receipt Printer\Cash Drawer” for Vista / WEPOS / POSReady /
Win7 / Win 8.1 / Win 10 operating system.
