Citizen Systems 1.8 manual CITIZEN OPOS Driver Registry Structure, Service Object SO

CITIZEN OPOS DRIVER 1.8 Application Development Guide

Service Object (SO)

Service Object is called by Control Object and executes the function specified by OPOS for each device. It is implemented as automation server and provides the set of methods called by CO. This driver provides the processing dependent on the CITIZEN POS printer and cash drawer connected to the printer.

1.6. CITIZEN OPOS Driver Registry Structure

In order for Control Object to be connected to Service Object exactly and initialize the corresponding device, the OPOS control requires data for the system registry. The registry has a hierarchical structure with levels called “key”. Each key consists of the following.

・Additional key (also called sub-key)

・Named value (“Data” of string, binary, or double-word type is defined for each value.)

・One “default value” defined by string-type data.

OPOS defines only string data.

The following is a registry structure taking CT-S2000 (printer and cash drawer) as an example.
