Point of Sale Application (CLIENT)

PLEASE SUBMIT A TEST APPLICATION THAT WILL: 1. Print a sample receipt on an Epson TM-T88III printer 2. Open a cash drawer connected to the Epson TM-T88III printer 3. Display a message on a Logic Controls PD-3000 Pole Display 4. Take a text input with NO TEXT BOX, then when you press enter display what you entered. Should be a small executable that can easily be run, and each of the 4 requirements run independantly. This will only be to prove that you have the skills to do the work below. You will be writing a Java/C++ application that will run on Windows 98/XP/2000 and future vista. It should be a SMALL application and VERY GRAPHICALLY PLEASING AND CUSTOMIZABLE. Your application will talk directly to a MySQL database for all information. You are writing only the client that will read from the MySQL database, not the management program. The program should run a local database and talk to a remote database. It will mainly use the remote database, but if it losses connection, it should then talk to the local database, then transfer all the data to the remote database when it comes back online. Your program will also need to work with a list of peripherals, such as epson receipt printers, logic controls customer pole displays, ingenico signature capture devices, multiple monitors on windows, etc. Please read the attached "Spec" document for more information. If you bid on this without reading the document, there might be some surprises, so just take a glimpse and make sure that you can do everything. IMPORTANT NOTE: There are some additions to the attached spec that will include purchasing packages, customer tracking/management, and multi-discounts. We will discuss this as the time comes. ## Deliverables This will be a long term project, so expect a good amount of time in the testing mode.
