POS Printer & Cash Drawer (PointofService.dll)

Hi, I have an issue with RMS 2.0, I;m using POS for .NET 1.11. I'm trying to Print a Custom Receipt from an External Program that i've written.

I'm Using an Epson tm-t88iv on parrellal port with cash drawer connected to port on printer.

the program works perfectly when the cash drawer option is disabled on the register list. and share opos printer setting is checked in Configuration.

but as soon as the cash drawer is enabled for rms it locks out the printer also.

i get a claim error on the device. (something like. tried to perform an illegal operation).

is there anyway to claim this printer while the cash drawer is connected... this is vital for the operation of this addon.

regards Rob

Hi Rob,

I use a lot of PCs for clients as well and I also use the Epson thermal printers but go for serial interface rather than parallel. Cash drawer is connected to the printer. If the printer is using COM1 the drawer also uses COM1. I've stuck with Epson ADK 2.3 and it all works fine. If the PC doesn't have a serial port (and a lot don't these days), I use a USB/Serial adapter and set the COM port number in Device Manager. In my setup, there is no need to share the printer with other apps in the Configuration.

Not sure if that helps you at all but might give you some ideas.

T.
