RS Epos Version 3 Till Peripherals This guide documents installing and configuring Till peripherals, this is NOT a comprehensive list of peripherals supported by the software ,and does not document installation all known peripherals, rather the set-up and installation of the core devices. Each device is different and has its own drivers (both Windows and OPOS) that may act differently and requires different settings. This guide aims to give the reader a broad overview of the process NOT a complete “How-To”, if in doubt please contact the device manufacture.

Setting Up OPOS Devices OPOS Common Control Installation When the EPOS system is installed on a new till it will automatically install the relevant OPOS Common Controls (version 1.13). Should the need arise these can be freely downloaded from http://monroecs.com/oposccos_current.htm.
About OPOS The OPOS Interface sits between the Epos system and the manufacturers drivers, allowing the Epos software to connect to a standardised interface. This gives grater flexibility and allows for a larger number of devices to be supported. OPOS devices include POS Printers, Cash Draws, Customer Display Units, to name just a few. OPOS doesn’t use the standard Microsoft Windows drivers, the appropriate OPOS driver needs to be obtained from the device manufacture. Installing an Epson TMT88v printer using OPOS Do NOT install the printer in Windows Printers and Faxes beforehand, as OPOS requires exclusive access to the printer to function. Install the ADK267E R4.EXE Epson OPOS driver manually. This will complete the connection between the Common OPOS drivers and the printer specific OPOS drivers. The TMT88 OPOS driver can be found on the installation disk in the SUPPORT APPS folder or from the Epson web-site. Double click to run and install the driver.

Checking OPOS Your Hardware •
Locate the application CDUTest.exe on your installation media.
•
Once the hardware has been configured using the OPOS drivers it can be tested using this application.
•
CDUTest.EXE can be used to check the line display, printer and cash drawer functionality.
•
Note that the OPOS drivers effectively replace the use of the normal Microsoft Windows printer drivers. This effectively means that the printer’s use is dedicated to EPOS use only and will not be available for use with other Windows applications.

If a port number is selected the “Request Weight From Scales”. If checked the software will send a “W” to the scales to request a weight, if unchecked the sales are expected to send the weight to the software without prompt. The clients screen has a test weight button, this button can only test the current client, you can not test scales connected to another computer. NOTE: Some scales will only send the weight once, to avoid re-weighing the same product. When testing scales, remove and replace the test weight each time the test button is pressed to avoid confusion, as these scales will report a time-out if you attempt to re-weigh the same weight twice. NOTE: The system only support Kilogram scales, scales configured fro Ounce and Pound weight measurements are NOT supported.
