Patrick,

The Star TSP-100 is listed on the "pop open" page with an open drawer code of 7, and a cutter bar code of 27,100

Since it is a USB printer you will not be able to print directly from the POS program but will have to use the APRINT3.EXE program to send the print stream to the printer.

But it looks like it will work although I have not tested it here. You should get them to guarantee that if it will not work that you can return it.

Patrick,

With that printer you should have set the following parameters in the "Printer seup" feature of the POSCONFG.EXE program. Some of them are important and some of them are "your choice". Are any of your settings different from the ones below? Which ones?

Code: Select all

 YES  Print receipts on a printer.
CONT  Print on a page printer or print continuously.
   8  Number of blank lines between receipts. (Continuous) 0 - 20
   0  Number of top margin lines. (Page) 0 - 5
   0  Number of printed lines per page. (Page) 50 - 70
   0  Number of bottom margin lines. (Page) 0 - 5
 YES  Use form feed at end of page. (Page)
  40  Print 40 or 80 characters wide.
   1  Print 1 or 2 receipts per transactions.
  NO  Print an extra receipt for credit sales.
 YES  Save journal info to a text file to print later.
  NO  Ask before printing sales receipt.
  NO  Ask before printing opening receipt.
  NO  Allow printing of sales checks.
  NO  Forced line feed.
  NO  Pause before printing second receipt.
  NO  Print blank line between items.

Yes! It works now, no more "dots" at the end of each row.

But a new problem.. As we in Sweden always got. Swedish Chars, like åäö ÅÄÖ.

Its not working and the printer (what I know) doesent got any dip switches.
When I make a testprint from the printer it prints the char correct.

But when I use the POS program I got other strange chars instead of swedish åäö ÅÄÖ.

Anyone here who know how I get swedish chars?
