Ifound another reference that appears to be more complete. It seems the APG (Application Program Guide) is no longer being published as of v10.05 (which is the one I have), and it does not appear to contain references to the 88V (it mentions 88IV however).
Tried digging around the Epson drivers themselves, and found that the Advance Printer Driver 5 displays the feature more prominently in the second tab, whilst in APD version 4, the buzzer is hidden under some settings. In both versions of the driver you can get them to work though, through a regular windows print job, however not from POS.
Perhaps I can let Samba take on the windows printing preferences, and the beep will be produced by the Epson driver itself, instead of one of our (so far unfortunately unsuccesful) commands. (And maybe also print upside down)
Also tried to add the printer as a windows printer using the advanced printer driver 4 which installs and creates an LPT1 port, but although listed in printers and faxes within windows, the error says no connection. I also tried to add the printer as a serial port COM1 but the same problem within Windows.
If you are using a serial interface to the printer that may be causing some of the delay. It seems to me that the receipt should print as fast as the Z report, so I would make one last look through the receipt properties and make sure that all fonts are set to Epson built-in fonts (maybe I missed one), the thinking here being that the receipt may be using a font that the Z report is not, thus slowing the receipt.
Z Report is like machine gun fire. standard receipts are slow off the mark, but then quite quick. Much improved!! I would say that the till receipts take about 10 seconds to print. They are much happier.
Marc, Youre and absolute genius!! Printer and cash drawer working, but the printing speed is REALLY slow. Is there any way of speeding up the printer, as the cash drawer opens immediately after transaction....but then you have to wait 1 minute for the receipt to print.
The Epson TM 88 Bon printer stops time and again when the receipt or receipt is printed. The Epson also jerky and sometimes the bon goes out but often not.
I first thought it is because of the printer and have exchanged the model TM81, but without Result, anyone an idea what that can be? I use the softare 3.70.
this is my 2nd question, i can easily update this version to a higher like 4.x, so that all data and attitudes are taken over? Thank you for help.
I've already tried that, uninstalled the epson driver and then discontinued as you recommended. But then some nonsense was printed and the cash drawer did not open. I need a detailed guide, which driver do I have to install, which attitude, thank you very much.
can it also be the version of unicenta? Regardless, can I install a higher version over the older one, and all settings and product entries are preserved? how should I proceed, which version do you recommend?
I do have pretty like the same problem but my printer is USB
Ok uninstall windows driver and use OPOS
OK select Epson > ok select file > which port should I select for USB printer?
Thanx in advance
