Sad Day
« on: March 21, 2012, 08:11:58 pm »
Hi all, I have spent time setting up and have thought that this is a fantastic active project. So have invested a lot of time to setup the menus and recipes etc and had planned to take all the kit to the cafe today. I started at 10pm with plans for some final price tweeks but the system is throwing exceptions when I login cant find any info to know where to look. I downloaded the latest version which ran after install but after exiting it will not run so any ideas as to what to do please advise. I dont know what caused it and have no idea how to fix

Any help Please

Error report says "The printer name is invalid". That's the printer that executes by a rule. Can you access management?

OK. I've converted that error to a notification. You should be able to access management now.
Download 2.91a

Check that the Pole Display is on the correct COM port. When you move a USB device to a new port, Windows will give you a new COM port number for it.

You should be able to send text to it from a DOS prompt

echo Hello >COM1

If that does work, then its a windows problem, not SambaPOS. My pole displays don't require a driver, in fact they where harder to use with a driver installed.
Note - Make sure that the command group in the pole display is set to Automatic if possible.
