I still had to go in the next day to connect the power cord.īy the way, if you ever want to rob a store, you can ignore the money in the cash drawer. It has a USB port, like all proper devices do. We ended up spending about $300 on the newest model, TM-88V. But, there were a few critical steps that Point Of Sale couldn't support, so it didn't work. It allows a lot of manual configuration I was setting protocol variables by day 2, and looking through the pin-out diagrams of that ancient connector by day 3. But only if printing from Notepad the Point Of Sale software didn't recognize the printer anymore.Ĭue several hours over each of the next few days trying to configure the printer in Point Of Sale manually. That allowed it to print a few lines on the receipt, very slowly. That didn't work at first then we discovered drivers for it (who needs drivers for a converter? How is it not hardcoded?). They had gotten a new sales computer which worked well, but it didn't have the ancient port that the printer required.įirst, we tried a USB-ancient port converter. I've fixed a receipt printer issue it was for family, so therefore no time limit and no budget. The rest of their network was top notch.gigabit ethernet, servers only a couple years old. So I have a 25 pin splitter, then a 25 pin to 9 pin adapter, then (for the network) a 9 pin to ethernet.

Another retail store I did had 25 pin serial ports on their POS terminals.and the terminal had bar code scanners (serial).
