"For the printer to operate with Ethernet, a series of commands must be set within the printer. These commands can only be set through the host computer and are not configurable through the printer configuration menu."

A799 - A Marketing Tool
The A799 printer comes with our ReceiptWare marketing managment software that allows you to add logos and watermarks, offer promotions, highlight sales items, print coupons, and more.

Add a Spill Guard for Increased Protection
A799 printers are designed with the enviroment in mind with built in liquid dams and gutters to deflict spills but for those harsher enviroments add a Spill Guard.

Adhesive POS Printer
CognitiveTPG offers its 799 Maxstick compatible printer for applications where a repositionable label are required such as Library on Hold or QSR Carry Out. Click here for the brochure.

I am setting up a simple POS for a frined's shop. The following is our configurations, and we have got most parts working with Unicentaopos actually:
i) Unicentaopos 3.8 running on a Acer laptop
ii The laptop runs Ubuntu 14.04, Oracle JRE 8 and Mysql is used as the DB server
ii) A HP A799 thermal receipt printer with javapos driver (tested working with the javapos utility software came with the printer driver) was also configured

The thing that bothering us now is this part about receipt printing. In fact, receipts got printed by the HP A799. However, the receipt didn't get auto-cut right after the printing. Instead, the auto-cut happened just before the receipt for the next transaction get printed out.

Can I at least get some confirmation that Unicentaopos should issue a "feed and cut" command (as I read somewhere in the Openbravo page) to the receipt printer at the end of printing each receipt, as it would sound more logical that way.

A single beep indicates the printer has successfully completed its startup routine. It should beep after being powered up or reset. If the printer beeps twice, it may be experiencing a problem. Refer to Hardware Troubleshooting* for more information. *Hardware Troubleshooting will be avaliable soon.

Plug the printer end of the USB cable into the USB connector (1) or the serial cable into the serial connector (2) on the printer. Plug the other end of the cable to the appropriate connector on the POS computer.

After connecting the cables to the printer and POS computer, turn on the POS computer. If the Found New Hardware Wizard pops up, click the Cancel button.
The receipt printer will beep and the green LED on the top cover will light up initializing the printer.

Although we encourage prospects and customers to buy hardware from us, there are circumstances in which it may be smartest to source hardware yourself. If you already have a system, or have your own local hardware sources, or are located outside North America, we welcome the opportunity to help you to assemble and configure appropriate hardware for WordStock software. In general, specs for system computer(s) are:

WordStock sells a wide range of system hardware, including such pre-eminent brand names as APG, Symbol, and American Power Conversion. Hardware that we sell is thoroughly tested and configured by our in-house technical staff.

Because WordStock can take advantage of economical "dumb" terminals, as opposed to requiring every workstation to be a computer, there are many types and sizes of WordStock configurations. Therefore, all proposals that we make are custom configured and quoted to match your exact needs and to make best use of the budget you have available. Typically, though, WordStock systems consist of a one or more computers that are networked, each of which is configured to control a local group of serial devices, such as terminal workstations, and printers.

TPG receipt printers are high-speed, bi-directional printers, and are noted for being very quiet and unobtrusive. Ithacas have ports that connect to cash drawers and/or barcode scanners. The Ithaca 153 prints 40 Characters Per Line, at 250mm/second, and uses 2- or 3-ply paper.

WordStock supports scanning throughout, e.g., for point-of-sale, ordering, receiving, transferring, and returning. WordStock scans the EAN barcodes used for ISBNs, the UPC barcodes used for most non-book items, and barcodes that WordStock itself generates from your SKUs. WordStock sells and supports only scanners made by Symbol Technology.

WordStock systems are designed so that printers are shared resources that can be accessed from all workstations, so you don't need a separate printer for each workstation. For report printing, WordStock supports most neworkable printers, such as laser printers. Please contact WordStock Sales to discuss your needs.

Electrical protection is a vital part of a a comprehensive solution, though it's often overlooked by system vendors. WordStock requires all systems to have "line conditioners," for regulating the quality of electricity; "uninterruptible power supplies," to protect the system against electrical drops [brownouts] and failures [blackouts]; and "surge protectors," to guard individual components against sudden voltage increases [surges].

Every component must terminate in a connection to a surge protector. American Power Conversion [APC] is the only brand of electrical protection that WordStock supports and sells. Please contact WordStock Sales for assistance in selecting APC models appropriate for your needs.

You can send something to the printer without using BeginDoc/EndDoc by using the Print Spooler API (from the WinSpool.pas unit) directly. Here's an example of printing a file directly to the printer (posted in one of the old Borland/CodeGear Delphi forums a few years ago by Peter Below of TeamB):

Here's an example of reading the printer status I found (again by Peter Below of TeamB) - it was tested in Delphi 2007, so it may need some minor tweaks to some of the types for later versions of Delphi:
