2.2. OPOS Driver
OPOS(OLE for Retail POS) was created by industry leaders as a device standard for POS
hardware. OPOS is a Win32-based architecture for POS device access. The benefits of this
standard are realized in the ease of access to hardware in not only outputting data to devices, but
also reading back the status of the device.
This OPOS driver can be used with any existing OPOS compliant application. Star also
recommends use of the OPOS standard to any developer creating a Win32-based retail software
application.
Star’s OPOS driver offers full compliance with the OPOS standard version 1.13.
