postaleyes 0 Posted April 25, 2012 I have a VSI Pro connected to a Micros printer. The thing is, I used Cat5e to extend the line. I have done this for the same VSI Pro next to it and it works on the register just fine. I know how to hook everything up and program the VSI but whenever I connect the RS-232 from the other VSI Pro to the spare port on the printer, it stops the printer from printing. The screen of the register says that there is a printer error. Could this be happening because the Cat5e is not wired correctly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted April 25, 2012 VSI is a good unit. first have you had both running on the same register before ??? also how long did you make the extention cable. what make is your register. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I imagine everyone else has too. Things can be going smooth for a long time, then that one little thing pops up that can drive you insane and you end up with a Homer Simpson "DOH" moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
