JavaPOS Drivers
JavaPOS maps to the Java platform in much the same way that OPOS maps the architecture to Windows.
Symbol JavaPOS drivers provide support for MSR, PIN Pad, Signature Capture, POS Keyboard, and Line
Display. JavaPOS defines a multi-layered architecture in which a POS Application interacts with the Physical
(or Logical) Device through the JavaPOS Device.

FormBuilder
FormBuilder is a Windows-based tool for the individual responsible for developing or maintaining the terminal
application program.
Each payment merchant has their own logo, branding, and marketing guidelines. FormBuilder is used to
prepare and customize the various forms that appear on Symbol payment terminal screens during the course
of a transaction. The information provided for each form consists of graphical images and various prebuilt
components, such as buttons and text boxes.
The results of the form-building process is a file that is loaded into a payment terminal. The application
program is then able to display the images, place externally derived data into text boxes, and receive
information back from the touch-screen such as a button press or signature.
Completed forms are loaded onto the terminal through the ECR. Forms can also be verified using FPE-Sim.
