OPOS Drivers, Cash Drawers, and Thermal Printers

Dec 12, 2006 1 Replies

We have Obvious ORP-800 Printers, They use the TM-T88III Drivers. They are configured to use the OPOS driver and are set up as TM-T88III printers. The printers print fine. The Cash Drawers we are trying to use are APG model M320-CW2022. I have purchase a receipt printer/cash drawer cable model APG-CD005A and connected it from the Obvious Printer to the APG cash Drawer. The drawer will pop at the end of a transaction and when I press F8. However, after a couple of pops via F8 or 3 or 4 transactions the drawer will stop popping and the only way to get the drawer working again is to close RMS and reopen it. I can pop the drawer via the OPOS driver over and over without a problem. Do you guys have any ideas what the problem could be? Is there something I need to do in RMS to keep the cash drawer working? is there something I need to do in the Opos Driver?



We are replacing Star 300 printers with the thermal printers and the Store Manager is talking about going back to those printers instead of using the new ones, So any healp is greatly appreciated.



Thanks,



Butch


Butch,

You didn't say what version of Epson OPOS you are using but you could try this: In Epson OPOS in the left panel, device list, open the plus next to Cash Drawer, right click the cash drawer and choose device specific settings. Change Open Status Phase to High.
