Question: In the JPOS test utility, after I click on the “OPEN” button I receive a failed message
when the default name is used that appears in the JPOS test utility. How to fix this error?
Answer: The logical name of the device is “HPap5000LineDisplay”. Replace the
“defaultLineDisplay” that appears in the logical name box with “HPap5000LineDisplay”. If
one clicks on the “Configured Device” tab, the names for the device will appear that will be
used in the test utility.
