A customer of mine had a Win2k server, 2 IT2000 w/Win98, 2 TM88 thermal printers and 1 TMU200B kit prt, running Aloha 5.2.34. After several hardware problems with the IT2000s, he decided to purchace 2 ELO 15A2 touchscreen terms and a DELL server, all running XP Pro. I came out and installed the same version (5.2.34) on the terms and the server, and transferred his databases. I used the exsisting cables for the 2 TM88 printers and manufactured one for the kit prt, using ELO's pinouts and aloha's specs. Everything was fine for about 30 min. All the printers worked perfectly. All at once, an error came up on the terms that the KP and the receipt prt on term 1 were down. After checking the cables and printers (which had no errors or problems), I rebooted the terminal. It worked again...for about 2 hours then the same problem. I have switched cables/printers/term #'s/ and checked all programming. The only configuration that works is if I completely remove the KP from the programming on the server and run with 1 receipt prt per term. Somehow, using COM2 on a term intermittantly locks up both com ports on that term...and yes, I have switched terms and the problem always follows the 2 prt configuration. I've been in the biz for several years, and recently got out so I'm not up on the new OS/Aloha/Terms compatibility. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rick

Aloha POS / WinXP com port problem. 2

Post the debout where the com port error is listed.
Match the serial port settings in Windows to match the settings listed in the printer's self test. Also make sure the FIFO buffers are turned OFF in the COM port settings you are using on Windows.
Have you tried a different serial cable?

Here is the setup and debouts:

Notes: If kitchen printer removed from aloha programming, both receipt printers function normally. When KP added back onto Term2 (or Term1, happens both ways), both the receipt and KP go off-line at the same time, sometimes immediately, sometimes after 15 min, 1 or 2 hours hours whether used or not. The receipt printer on the opposite term will continue to operate normally, and makes itself the back up KP.

Had Errors occur at 2:40pm, 2:57pm, 3:29pm. I can just stop and restart iber.exe on the termial and all the tickets produced while the printer was down will print at the appropriate printers and the errors will go away for random periods of time.
All cables have been ohm'd out and double checked for correct pinout (as shown at top of this post)
Questions I have: How does Aloha know when a printer is off-line? Is it looking for a signal from the printer or does it send some command and look for a return? What is the wiring for epson TM88III and TM-U200B printers with an XP operating system? And finally: Can anyone help???? LOL Thanks for all your help. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks again, Rick.

Had Errors occur at 2:40pm, 2:57pm, 3:29pm. I can just stop and restart iber.exe on the termial and all the tickets produced while the printer was down will print at the appropriate printers and the errors will go away for random periods of time.
All cables have been ohm'd out and double checked for correct pinout (as shown at top of this post)
Questions I have: How does Aloha know when a printer is off-line? Is it looking for a signal from the printer or does it send some command and look for a return? What is the wiring for epson TM88III and TM-U200B printers with an XP operating system? And finally: Can anyone help???? LOL Thanks for all your help. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks again, Rick.

I am confused on how the TM200 printer is working at all?? Dip switch 7 on bank 1 is set to on sets the baud rate to 4800 but the thermal printers are set to 9600. The default universal setting in aloha is 9600, (check this in aloha.ini).
Dip switch 4 on bank 2 (tm200) is set to on? This sets the printer for a reset signal on pin 6 or 25 I think? I would turn that off.
Also I would turn off dip switch 2 on bank 1 on all printers to increase the buffer size.
