Please do not change the configuration settings for OPOS Linedisplay.
Use the following code in your usercontrol where you have hosted your opos control and check that your device is running or not.

C#

<pre>
 ret =  OPOSLineDisplay.Open("FTLDSO");
 ret =  OPOSLineDisplay.ClaimDevice(100);
    OPOSLineDisplay.DeviceEnabled = true;
        OPOSLineDisplay.CharacterSet = 3;
        OPOSLineDisplay.ClearText();
        OPOSLineDisplay.DisplayTextAt(0, 0, &quot;Line Display Test&quot;, 0);
    OPOSLineDisplay.DisplayTextAt(1, 0, &quot;Line Display Working&quot;, 0);
    OPOSLineDisplay.ReleaseDevice();
        OPOSLineDisplay.Close();

Do let me know if you find any error and please mark it as answer if it is valid answer to your requirements.

For 64 bit application Copy OPOSMSR.ocx to
> C:\Windows\SysWOW64

Once this is done
Add a new user control in your windows application. Go to designer page and open Toolbox window.
In the toolbox window -> right click and Select 'Choose Items' -> Select Com Components tab and find OPOS MSR control registered.Select it and click on OK.
Put this OPOS MSR control on your User control. Your control is hosted and you can use it.
To explore all the methods in this components, go to code behind, Navigate to 'InitializeComponent' method. At the last line you will find instance of your hosted control. Go to Defination 'AxOPOSMSR' you will find all methods.

To find the name your OPOSMSR control you can navigate regedit.exe from run command and
Local_Machine ->Software -> OLE For Retail you may find your MSR control.
