Abstract
In some examples, a device for applying an operating mode to a point of sale (POS) peripheral device can include a non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to detect a peripheral device, access a configuration file based on the detected peripheral device, wherein the configuration file includes a plurality of operating modes associated with the detected peripheral device, and apply one of the plurality of operating modes to the detected peripheral device.
Claims15
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to:
- detect a peripheral device coupled to a computing device at startup of the computing device;
- access a configuration file for the peripheral based on the detected peripheral device, wherein the configuration file includes a plurality of operating modes associated with the detected peripheral device and provides parameters and initial settings for an operating system for the plurality of operating modes;
- apply a first operating mode from the plurality of operating modes to the detected peripheral device at startup of the computing device;
- determine a power state of the computing device related to a power mode of the computing device;
- alter the peripheral device from the first operating mode to a second operating mode to alter the parameters and initial settings for the operating system in response to the determined power state of the computing device;
- and
- prevent a particular function of the peripheral device from being detected responsive to the computing device operating in a first power state and allow the particular function of the peripheral device to be detected responsive to the computing device operating in a second power state.
