DHES

So I managed to find the manual for that el-cheap'o printer. Here's what it has for the cash drawer section: ESC p m t1 t2 [Name] Generate pulse for drawer [Format] ASCII ESC p m t1 t2 Hex 1B 70 m t1 t2 Decimal 27 112 m t1 t2 [Range] m=0,1,48,49; 0≤t1≤255; 0≤t2≤255 [Description] This command is to g...

The manual references it to the customer accounts, I can't figure out how to get this going. Any guidance?

So no recommendations on printers less than 100 bucks?

Well, it connects via LPT (Parallel Port) and it also has a RJ11, I'm whole new to the "whole" POS system, so in terms of what it does, I'm clueless, I just know it has those two ports, looks nice, has drivers available, is compatible with ESC/POS print commands. That's why I was asking cause it's l...

Has anyone tried this printer? It's a no-namer, but has lots of options and it's LPT based: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Parallel-Interface-RJ11-POS-Thermal-Line-Receipt-Printer-58mm-POS5890-/160728008239?pt=AU_CashRegisterAccessories&hash=item256c22c62f#ht_2118wt_1156 Just trying to piece my POS togethe...

Will any future versions allow you to minimize to the system tray? Just curious...

Dale, You can just call me Brandon. So, when inputting the items into the stock table I can technically "bypass" the Stock Number initially and just use Vendor Stock Number? Then after all the items get entered in, scan the actual barcode and go down the line, then do an inventory of everything in t...

Everything is setup, and I figured doing an inventory would be the best way, but to where the UPCs aren't on the invoices, it's going to make them hard to put in to the stock table. As far as I know I can't leave the Stock Number blank and just go in and scan the UPCs one at a time (since the scanne...

Alright, so I know my situation is not unique in any way, shape or form. My friend just opened a business near the end of last year, and has lots of different stock. He was using an old cash register, and not keeping track of inventory, sales, etc. So out of the kindness of my heart I fixed up an ol...

It's been a while ladies and gents... Since Visual Communication is my forte (since I'm still in college for programming currently), I'd be willing to help with this project, and I'd even make an iBooks version if anyone is interested. I don't think spending 99 cents on it is feasable, however, as m...

I'm mainly in the hobby portion of sales. Mainly trading card games and accessories and the like. I use my laptop to run DHPOS, and I packup my Brother laser printer for receipts and the like if needed. I use a hand-made coin count sheet to open my 'lockbox' (I have one with spaces for cash, coin, c...

TY Dale, hopefully I'll have my menu running on my laptop. I'm currently a 'traveling vendor'. LOL.

Hey, I know this would probably be easier for myself to do, but can I get a listing of all the PROGRAMS within the .zip file with what they actually are... excluding programs that are automatic. I want to create a .bat menu for DHPOS and offer it for download... I guess what I'm asking is... what EX...

I just want to state that DHPOS will work on 64-bit processors, JUST NOT 64-BIT OPERATING SYSTEMS...

I'm running Vista Basic Home on a AMD Athlon 64 X2 in 32-bit and it runs it just fine.

Just to let everyone know.

Well, where to start... 1) Written extremely well. Not a lot of great programs written in BASIC... Most are C++. Dale gets mad props for that alone. 2) Entirely free. Some want an upfront fee for the media and shipping. 3) The solutions I've tried that were free, weren't as intuitive as Dale's. It's...
