Thanks!!! My 1st post, my 1st RMS Install...finding it incredibly no intuitive. So I am reaching out to the Forum for help..Please
-I am trying to add a StarMicronics POS Printer model TSP700II,
connected by USB with a Cash Drawer attached to the printer
-I am running RMS 2.0 on a WinXP Pro SP3
-This is my 1st experience with RMS and POS software. I do IT work for a living (nonPOS related). I am trying to help a nonprofit (ABBA House) as a friend...I am WAY over my head.
OK,
-Speaking to Microsoft RMS support, they tell me to use the OPOS drivers and NOT to install the Windows drivers.
-Went to Star Support and download every file that shows to include the OPOS driver; the new v2.0 and older legacy OPOS drivers.
-Installing the newest (v2.0); Using the Star Windows configuration utility it install the Windows drivers then I can setup the OPOS drivers and designate it as a USB device. I can then successfully test both the Printer and Drawer. I then register both devices but RMS tells me no OPOS drivers found.
SOOO I role my system back and try the older OPOS files from Star with do not include the Windows drivers, problem with these, USB is not in the Port list when I register them. Only LST ports. So I cannot complete this install..
I know this is allot but I wanted to be detailed in hopes I can get a detailed answer. I am so new to this; POS, RMS, OPOS etc. And I have spent HOURS and HOURS reading, searching and trying....please help me so I can move on to other things in my life :-)
