I have found a way to enable a serial printer to work with the POS program: Below are instructions on how to setup your Windows 2000 machine to redirect the LPT printer in DOS to the COM port in DOS. As a note, remove ALL drivers which are using LPT and COM in Windows before proceeding. Below is the...

I have found a solution. As my Cash Drawer is controlled by the printer, I needed a way to send the drawer kick codes to the printer. As I had a serial printer, I was not able to do this via the POS Program (not compatible with Serial if running Windows 2000). After threatening to return the cash dr...

Dale,

BTW, my printer is connected via COM1 on my PC and the Cash Drawer to the Printer via the standard Cash Drawer interface similar to RJ11, as it is an Epson Compatible cash drawer.

Dale, Thanks for your quick reply. I may have one issue with that. My printer is a serial interface, which is the primary reason I am using APRINT in order to print via Windows Drivers.

Does every application I print from have to use/include the Control font? Or am I supposed to be able to send the code once, then have the printer remember ...

Thanks for the reply. I will definitely check out the duplicate receipts. (as you can tell I am still a relatively new user) As far as the Sales by Time feature goes. It might be nice to be able to pull a report in order to see when the busiest time of the day generally is, and how that changes depe...

DHPOS Development Team, I'm sure you get 3 million of these a day, and have considered most of them, but here are a couple more for your collection (BTW your software is great): 1. Duplicate Receipts; Would be great if you had the option on a per transaction basis, or out of the history to print ano...

I am running a Citizen CT-S300 Thermal POS Printer with a CBM Metal CBM 2000 Cash Drawer. For some reason the printer works fine (through APrint), but will not kick the drawer open. I have called Citizen and gotten the codes: 27, 112, 0, 50, 250. I have entered these into the Cash Drawer section of ...
