Operating System Requirements

 

When using the RS-485 interface, attach SureMark printers to systems that are

 

running one of these operating systems:

 

v IBM PC DOS 2000 or later with POSS for DOS V1.60(c) or later

 

v Windows Version 3.1 or later with POSS for Windows V1.43 or later

 

v Windows NT Version 3.51 or later with POSS for Windows V1.43 or later

 

v Windows 95/98 with POSS for Windows V1.43 or later

 

v 4690 OS V2R4, when available

When using the USB interface, attach SureMark printers to systems that are

running one of these operating systems:

v Windows 98, 2nd Edition with POSS for Windows V2.00 or later

v Windows 2000 Professional with POSS for Windows V2.00 or later

When using the RS-232 or RS-485 interface, you can use OLE for Retail POS (OPOS) V1.4.0 with the following operating systems, if POSS for Windows V1.43 or later is first installed:

vWindows 95

vWindows NT 4.0

POSS drivers can be downloaded from the Retail Store Solutions Web site. See “Resources on the Internet” on page 43 for more information.

If you use the RS-485 interface, you must use POSS or 4690 OS drivers. If you use the RS-232 interface, use the commands described in Appendix C, “RS-232 Programming Information” on page 97.
