CollinR 0 Posted April 11, 2007 It goes from POS>Printer not POS>customer display as I think you have it configured. Of at least thats how every data capture I have used worked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guillermofalcon 0 Posted April 11, 2007 yes.. i know... the thing is.. if you can capture a customer pole display with a VSI Text inserter.. why is so hard to do with a GV datacapture ?.. is rs232 anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CollinR 0 Posted April 11, 2007 If you format the data correctly it shouldn't be a problem. However you are taking devices specifically used to interface with printer standards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guillermofalcon 0 Posted April 11, 2007 i think thats the problem.. because actually i'm receiving garbage... if i capture the printer it works like a charm... if somebody has ever done it.. please help me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
501 0 Posted April 11, 2007 Find the exact spec for the Pole display (Baud rates, etc...) You may then have to send in the garbled text to geo along side with what the test should have read. Thye did one for us for another pos brand and it works great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cctv_down_under 0 Posted April 12, 2007 The other issue could be the pin out of the display, some pole displays have voltage in them to power them so the pin out may be different! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cctv_down_under 0 Posted April 14, 2007 You will need to know the pin out of the pole display, the reason is that the pole display if it has no power to it, will be drawing power through the pin out, putting capture box on it could actually wreck the device becaseu power is going through it....I have heard of this numerous times...the other thing is that pole displays rarely have standard pin outs....IE 1 might go to 1 on standard 232 but 1 might be power for the pole display...find out which pin outs are being used for data transfer or return data and match them to the Geo capture device and cut the cables that have power in them.
