An Introduction to MetrOPOS

Q: What is OPOS?

A: A standard developed to allow application software to

communicate with common Point Of Sale devices
regardless of device manufacturer.
For example, as a result of OPOS, a customer may be able to replace his
Symbol scanner with a Metrologic scanner, or vice versa, without having to
change his cash register software.
The same statement could be made with “scale” or “printer” or one of
several other device classes substituted for “scanner,” and appropriate
substitutions for manufacturer name(s).

 OPOS, JavaPOS, and UPOS

The OPOS specification is dependent upon use of the Microsoft

Windows Operating System and the COM protocol (for data exchange
between software components). Software developed to the OPOS
specification can be used only on Microsoft Windows Operating
Systems.

The JavaPOS specification is an adaptation of the OPOS specification

for use with Java. Software developed to the JavaPOS specification can
be used on any Operating System which supports the use of a Java
Virtual Machine. This includes both Microsoft Windows OS’s, and some
other OS’s (example Linux).

The UPOS, or Unified POS, specification, is a merger of the OPOS and

JavaPOS specifications. UPOS is platform independent; OPOS
implements UPOS for the Windows/COM platform, and JavaPOS
implements UPOS for Java.
2
Q: Who Maintains & Publishes the UPOS Specification?

A: The National Retail Federation’s Association for Retail

Technology Standards, or NRF-ARTS.
The UPOS Specification, and further information about UPOS, is
available through their web site, http://www.nrf-arts.org.

The organizations and companies behind UPOS include:

Association for Retail Technology Standards Microsoft

Boscov’s Montgomery-Ward
Datafit NCR Corporation
Epson National Retail Federation
Fujitsu-ICL Systems Research Computer Services
Honey Baked Hams Corporation Sears
IBM Corporation SUN Microsystems

For each class of OPOS
supported device, the POS Application
organization administering
OPOS provides a common Example: Cash Register Control Program
software tool called a Control
Object, an ActiveX (.OCX)
control which can be
imported into a software
OPOS OPOS
application, and which
Scanner Scale
presents a common front-
Control Control
end for sending data to, and Object Object
retrieving data from, a POS
device.

For example, a control

object is provided for an
OPOS Scanner, and
another control object is
provided for an OPOS Metrologic Symbol Avery Berkel
Teraoka
Scanner Scanner Scale
Scale. Scale

To complete the
communications chain, POS Application
however, each POS device Example: Cash Register Control Program
vendor must provide a
custom Service Object, in
the form of a Dynamic
Linked Library (.DLL), which OPOS OPOS
can translate commands and Scanner Scale
data between the common Control Control

the vendor-specific protocol
of the POS device.

* The Service Object used with the Avery Scale
will actually depend on the cable configuration of
the Scale relative to the Stratos Scanner and Host

In Dual Cable Configuration, the Scale talks
through the Avery Scale Service Object to the

In Single Cable Configuration, however, the Scale

talks through the Stratos Scanner and the

A further benefit of the
OPOS Service Object is POS Application
that it permits the POS Example: Cash Register Control Program

POS devices of several

Stratos Scanner with Scale deserves special attention because it incorporates two OPOS
devices in one mechanical assembly. The two possible OPOS configurations for Stratos
Scanner with Scale are shown below. For case Mettler Scale, substitute the word “Mettler” for each “Avery” below.

The Control Objects part 1 of 3

An OPOS Control Object is a software tool, in the form of an ActiveX (.ocx)

Control, which can be imported into a software application, and which
presents a common front end for sending data to, and retrieving data from, a
POS device.

OPOS Common Control Objects are available publicly through the website of
Monroe Consulting Services, http://www.monroecs.com/oposccos.htm.

For convenience, however, Metrologic includes both a Scale Control Object,

and a Scanner Control Object, within the MetrOPOS package.

12
The Control Objects part 2 of 3

The Scale Control Object is implemented as file OPOSScale.ocx.

The Scanner Control Object is implemented as file OPOSScanner.ocx.

When installed, these files will appear in one of the following two folders,
depending on the Operating System in use:
C:\Windows\System32 for Windows XP Professional
C:\WINNT\System32 for Windows 2000 Professional

Note that in many cases Metrologic will be selling into an existing

application/installation, where the required OPOS Control Object(s) are
already present on the host system. MetrOPOS includes the Scale and
Scanner Control Objects as a courtesy for developers of new applications.

The Service Objects part 1 of 3

An OPOS Service Object is the “driver,” in the form of a Dynamically Linked

Library (DLL), which bridges the communications gap between an OPOS
Control Object (CO), and the vendor-specific POS hardware device in use.

OPOS Service Objects are provided by POS device vendors. Any OPOS
device – example Scale, Scanner – requires a corresponding Service Object,
specific to the vendor of the device.

As Metrologic sells both Scales and Scanners, Metrologic includes both Scale
Service Objects and Scanner Service Objects within the MetrOPOS package.

The Device Profile can be thought of as an electronic guidebook or map which

connects all of the points of the OPOS block diagram, allowing data to flow

23
The OPOS Administrator: New Profile part 3

Once again, Stratos Scanner with Scale deserves special attention because it
incorporates two OPOS devices in one mechanical assembly.

Each OPOS Device requires its own Device Profile.

A Stratos Scanner with Scale therefore requires two (2) device profiles, including
one for the scanner, and another for the scale.

This applies whether or not the Scanner  Scale configuration is Single-

Cable or Dual-Cable, because, in either case, OPOS treats the Scale as
separate from the Scanner (See Slide 7), regardless of any electrical and/or
mechanical connection between them.

24
The OPOS Administrator: New Profile part 4

Once at least one

character has been typed
into the Profile Name field,
the New Profile Save
button becomes enabled.
Once you have filled in all
of the New Profile fields to
match your installation’s
details, press the Save
button to save the new
device profile to the
registry. You should be
greeted by the success
message box shown
below.

The new profile is saved to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE

\ OLEForRetail \ ServiceOPOS, in subfolder Scale or
Scanner as appropriate.
25
 The OPOS Administrator: New Profile part 5

For all cases except those where Device Class = Scale, the pressing of “OK” at
the “Device profile created successfully prompt” will result in the appearance
of a successive prompt, entitled “Program Scanner?”

This successive prompt does NOT appear for a Scale profile, because
MetrOPOS Administrator is not presently capable of electronically configuring
Scales. Scales may require configuration, and, if so, will have to be configured
through other means (to be discussed later in this presentation).
Note: Prior to MetrOPOS 2.1.9, the Program Scanner prompt was displayed for Device Class = Scale, Scale Type =
Single-Cable, however in this case what was to be programmed was actually the scanner, not the scale. MetrOPOS
2.1.9 retains (actually, expands upon) the ability to configure the scanner portion of a Single-Cable Scanner with Scale,
but presents this functionality after the creation of the scanner – not scale – profile.
26
The OPOS Administrator: New Profile part 6

The POS device needs to be configured for use with the MetrOPOS driver(s).

In general, RS232 Scanner devices can be electronically configured through

OPOS Administrator, so, for an RS232 Scanner device, select Yes at the
Program Scanner prompt. One exception: If using MetrOPOS earlier than version
2.1.9, it is preferable to configure Stratos units through alternate method(s).

At the present time, neither POS USB nor Full Speed USB (IBM OEM USB)
devices can be electronically configured through OPOS Administrator, so, for
these interfaces, select No at the Program Scanner prompt. This will complete
the New Profile creation process, however the device will need to be configured
by alternate means (more to follow).
27
The OPOS Administrator: New Profile part 7

For the RS232 case, selecting Yes at the Program Scanner prompt should result
ultimately in one of the two message prompts below, indicating Configuration
Success (at left) or Configuration Failure (at right).

For case Failure, ensure that your device is

For case Success, press

28
The OPOS Administrator: Configurations part 1

Scales – Not configurable through OPOS Administrator at present time

At the present time, the MetroX2.ocx control – used by both MetrOPOS and MetroSet
to configure SCANNERs through serial download of NOVRAM settings – does NOT
support download of SCALE configurations. Further, at the present time we have no
other Metrologic software control capable of configuring scales.

In the future, with the application of engineering effort, it might be possible to configure a
Scale through MetroX2 or other to-be-developed software control…

* In Single-Cable configuration, this would require not just development of the

Metrologic control, but also changes to the Stratos Scanner firmware, to allow the
Scale configuration to be routed through the Scanner to the Scale.
* In Dual-Cable configuration, this would require the Metrologic control to speak
the language (protocol) of each Scale to be used.

29
The OPOS Administrator: Configurations part 2

Configuring Scales

In the here and now, Scales can be configured through the following options:

1. In Single-Cable Configuration, Program Bar Codes presented to

Scanner
2. In Single-Cable Configuration, Serial Program Mode through Scanner
(utilizes electronic representations of program mode bar codes)

3. In Dual-Cable Configuration, use of a Scale Configuration Utility such

as SQUIRT for Avery Scales
4. In Single-Cable or Dual-Cable Configuration, use of the Scale Display,
if present
(Note: Prior to Version 2.1.9, MetrOPOS Administrator disabled the Display selection
box for the Dual-Cable Scale Type, in both New Profile and Modify Profile sections. This was
perhaps misleading, as a Scale Display can be present in Dual-Cable or in Single-Cable
Configuration.) 30
The OPOS Administrator: Configurations part 3

Configuring a Scale for Single Cable OPOS via Programming Bar Codes

* For RS232 Single-Cable Interface, to configure Scanner for use with Scale:
Note, programming bar codes must be read in the vertical window of the Stratos scanner.

1. Scan one of the following based on desired units of measure:

* Scan 999958 for Single Cable RS232 OPOS, English Scale Defaults, OR…
* Scan 999957 for Single Cable RS232 OPOS, Metric Scale Defaults
