OPOS drivers Installation Instructions
1. Run Setup OPOS.exe.
2.
The communications will be defaulted to ―COM2‖. If the communication port is
not setup at installation, the first time the printer service object Open method is
called, a Com port setup dialog will be displayed.
3. After running Setup.exe there will be an OPOS setup utility in the OPOS program
group/start menu, and also in the Windows Control Panel. Use this utility to set
up the OPOS printer ―driver‖ and cash drawer ―driver‖.
To Install the USB drivers
1. Ensure that USB is enabled in your system's BIOS. To verify that USB is
enabled, click on "Start", "Settings", "Control Panel". Double click "System" and
select the "Device Manager". If you see "Universal Serial Bus controllers" in the
list, USB is enabled. Check you PC's documentation for more information about
USB if needed.
2. Ensure that power is applied to the printer and plug in the USB cable to both the
PC and printer.
3. Follow the on screen directions. Please note that several drivers are installed in
this process. Therefore the "Found new hardware" prompt will appear several
times. If the system needs a file, direct it to the location of the USB driver install
disk (usually the floppy drive).
See ―readme.txt‖ or ―usbman.htm‖ on the install disk for more information.
