Title: Euro Symbol
Post by: ptv1p3r on October 25, 2012, 04:58:21 am

Hi guys, e really need some help..

I simply cannot use the euro symbol € anywhere, not on the tickets, nor on the customer display, and i really need it, can somebody help me out?

I changed the character set of the printer to 850, 860, etc i always get weird characters, but never the euro symbol, the only one that works is the dollar symbol... please help!

Change the Currency Symbol at Windows Settings.

"Language and Regional Settings>Additional Settings>" Change the currency symbol, restart SambaPOS.

It should work.

Thank you for the reply, but it didn't work, i allready have the Euro symbol defined there, that's why i can't figure out why this doesn't work.

In the windows settings everything looks good for my region (Portugal), there's the Euro symbol etc, the problem only arises when on sambapos i send a ticket to the printer and on the customer display, if i put a dollar symbol on the templates it display the dollar correctly, but when i change that to the Euro symbol it comes out with wierd characters like '?' .....

Any ideas ?

Does your hardware supports € symbol? For example customer display should display € symbol if you type echo hello € > COM1 from command prompt. You should change COM1 part of command if it connected to a different port.

Standard ascii character set does not contains € symbol so if it is possible for your hardware try changing character set from driver software.

Thanks emre for the quick reply.

Well my printer a EPSON TM-88 does have the euro symbol, for instance when i print a ticket with html format it does print out the euro symbol, but if i put it in Printer Ticket format it doesn't, and i need it in Printer Ticket.

The client display also has the eurosymbol, but that one i still haven't figured out a way to make it display the euro symbol, maybe it's a similar problem with the HTML/Printer Ticket format.

Any thoughts?
