Epson JavaPOS ADK - Version 1.13

Support for version 1.13 has been included in GK/Retail. Separate installation of Epson JavaPOS is required anyway because internal services are installed with it.

Installation

After executing the installation file, confirm the first windows to appear. Then, enter the Java version being used

Generally, you can confirm the path proposed.

Then, select the user-defined installation. Under Choose folder location, go to Folder Location for JavaPOS Service and modify the path to the JavaPOS directory.

Note:

This kind of adjustment is no longer necessary in GK/Retail version 12.08.02 or higher because the required JavaPOS files are located in the POS directory.

JavaPOS Epson ADK 1.13 Installation - Choose folder location

For further information on the installation process, refer to the file InstallManual.pdf located in the directory mentioned above.

Configuration in GK/Retail

An adjustment to the paths configured during JavaPOS installation is not necessary.

Device Drivers

Device drivers for Epson hardware must be created with the SetupPOS tool because an additional configuration file pcs.properties is written to c:\ProgramData\EPSON\portcommunicationservice when saving the driver file.

The tool is called from the Start menu via Programs > Epson JavaPOS ADK > SetupPOS or by entering the following on the command line: c:\Program Files (x86)\Epson\JavaPOS\SetupPOS\SetupPOS.exe

SetupPOS

Use the button Add... to create new devices.

SetupPOS - Add JposEntry

Device configuration is set up in the subsequent windows.

Once all required devices have been configured, create an XML file that includes all drivers. Then, copy the drivers to the template file jpos.xml.

Configuration file jpos.xml:

Finally, the assignment to the POS Client device configuration must be made. The configuration is set in the file hal.properties :

Test tools

CheckHealth

The test tool can be called via Windows Start menu or by calling CheckHealth.bat in the directory C:\Programs\Epson\JavaPOS\CheckHealth\.

The file jpos.xml, which includes the device drivers, must exist in the defined directory.

POSTest – The JavaPOS Device Test v1.10.0

POSTest is a universal tool for testing JavaPOS devices.

In order to use the tool, it is recommended to copy the complete folder POSTest to drive C:\ of the system being used for device testing. In addition, copy the file jpos.xml with the required drivers to C:\POSTest\jpos.xml.

To start the tool, depending on the hardware variant, e.g. use

IBM_EPSON1116_POSTest

POSTest is described in the chapter IBM UnifiedPOS > Version 1.13.0 > POSTest – The JavaPOS Device Test v1.10.0 .
