I have recently bought a new cash drawer as our old one had died (along with its opener) some time ago before we changed to the Server version, but I didn't setup specifically a drawer when I upgraded to the Server version.

I have a strange problem, in that I get two different actions between the Server and the Slave when I connect the same drawer to one or the other. I am using a DT-100U USB device to open the drawer.

On the Server, the drawer opens nicely when pressing the "Drawer Open" icon, but when I do a Z-Out, I get a comm port error.

Conversely, on the Slave, the drawer doesn't open with the "Drawer Open" icon, but does when I open the Z-Out dialogue.

I have checked the settings of both computers, but I can't for the life of me find why this is happening, as the settings seem identical.

Obviously, I have missed something. Any ideas?

I installed EZ-Power for two of our local sporting clubs some years ago, and I recently noticed that one was very fast when switching between Categories, and the other took a relatively long time to refresh the screen when changing between categories, even though the Computer's specifications were the same. Even on a high performance PC, the screen updates were unacceptably low on the second installation.

The slower of the two had 137 Product images, and some of them were around 400kb in size.

As a test, I bulk downsized the images to a height of 250 pixels (15-64kb) with Corel Paintshop Pro, and suddenly my screen updates when changing Categories was nice and fast again. The image resolution was still more than adequate.

I hope this tip may be of benefit to others....

Hi Ronald,

Back in March 2016 I queried the availability of EFTPOS via Bluetooth. I am looking at using EzPower (Restaurant Australian version) for our local Golf Club where this feature could critical.

Has there been any progress on implementing this?

I would like to set up a customer for "Hospitality" so we can dispense free item to the occasional volunteer at our Yacht Club.

Currently I have set up a Customer named "Hospitality" and with the FREE option selected.

What I want to be able to do is to make a Note on the Sale which would indicate the "authorising person"

I can manage this via the Sale Information Store Notes, but I can't find a report which generates this information. The data is in the Sales Export list, but I can't find a report that shows it.

Is there a way to accomplish what I am trying to do - perhaps in another way?

Many thanks

We don't need any printers on our Yacht Club POS system, so we have a Cashdrawer triggering module on comm1 that works nicely by sending a echo UUUUU >> com1 via a batch file and activated via Setup/Payment Methods.

Is there a way to get this batch file to trigger with the Open Drawer command or F11? I considered adding a string onto the F11 keyboard key with AutoHotkey might work, but I thought I would come to the Guru first as you probably have a neater solution!

Many thanks

After some battles in getting email to send from the POS Software with Gmail, I have discovered two important points.

• The port to use is 587 (NOT 465)
• It is VITAL to go into the GMail account Settings/Account and Import/Change Account Settings/Other Account Settings/Signing In/Access for less secure apps and set it to TURN ON

Otherwise the POS Software will not be able to access your GMail account to send emails remotely. I have double authentication on my personal GMail account, so I created a GMail account just for the POS System.

I hope this is of help to others users!
