PoS related drivers |

| Unified PoS combines
two existing device interface standards under one specification
of Point of Service Devices: OPoS and JavaPoS™.
Epson is a key player of these (Unified PoS, OPoS and
JavaP0S™), and promotes the standardisation of peripheral
device control drivers for the retail market. At the same
time, we also provide a wide range of customers with drivers
to support PoS applications development. Working from
customer feedback, we aim in the future to offer still
better functions. |
