4 Datalogic™ JavaPOS Device Services
Installation
Introduction
Datalogic JavaPOS is a set of Java based drivers that allow Java application
developers to communicate with Datalogic based Point of Sale Scales and
Scanners. As long as the Java application adheres to the JavaPOS specifica-
tion up to 1.13, it does not need to be writ
ten with the Datalogic drivers in
mind, but rather should work with any JavaPOS 1.13 or less compliant driv-
ers. The Datalogic JavaPOS drivers can be in
stalled on any system with a
pre-existing Java based Point of Sale application, and (with some limited
configuration) the Point of Sale application should have no problems inter-
acting with Datalogic scales and scanners.
These drivers were written, tested and verified to work on the following
operating systems:
•
Microsoft Windows XP SP3, Vista, Windows 7
• Fedora Core Linux versions 5 through 9
• SuSE Linux Professional 9.3, CentOS 5, OpenSuSE 11, Ubuntu
For a specific list of Datalogic scale a
nd scanner brands known to work
under Windows and Linux, please contact Datalogic Technical Support or
your representative.
