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.

Abstract: A system includes a machine readable storage medium storing instructions and a processor to execute the instructions. The processor executes the instructions to monitor software calls between a point of sale application and a sharable point of sale peripheral device, wherein each software call defines a type of access to the sharable point of sale peripheral device. The processor executes the instructions to collect management data for the sharable point of sale peripheral device based on the monitored software calls. The processor executes the instructions to store the collected management data to create a record of the usage of the sharable point of sale peripheral device.
