Configuring the Scanner

Configuration files
  • ..\parameter\client\hal.properties
  • ..\parameter\client\jpos.xml

To configure scanner, proceed as follows:

  1. Enable the scanner in the configuration file hal.properties: 
    DeviceEntryTypes.Honeywell_COM.id=Honeywell_COM
DeviceEntryTypes.Honeywell_COM.deviceCategory=SCANNER
DeviceEntryTypes.Honeywell_COM.enabled=true
DeviceEntryTypes.Honeywell_COM.active=true
 DeviceEntryTypes.Honeywell_COM.className=com.gk_software.pos.hal.device.scanner.JPosScanner
  2. Configure the port in the file jpos.xml, if necessary:
    <JposEntry logicalName="Honeywell_COM">
...
<prop name="portName" type="String" value="COM7"/>
...
</JposEntry>
Note:

A corresponding entry must exist in the file jpos.xml. The logicalName corresponds to the id of the scanner entry resulting from the file hal.properties.
