We have a need to attempt to use a thermal printer (a continuous feed printer) with thermal paper to print cash receipts at the wicket. We want to connect the printer to our createform server and then print our createform receipts to this printer.
Here is the POS (Point Of Sale) printer we are attempting to connect to our Createform server.
Epson TM-T88V Direct Thermal Printer
We created a detailed Cash Receipts project to test against this continuous feed printer. The project was defined under Create!Form 6.3 because this project is coming from a third-party system that does not use JDE/Oneworld. I have been unable to test my project because we received a printer to test with but it did not have an ethernet connection so we had to send it back. We tried to attach an external print server to the printer but the two were incompatable.
These are some of our concerns
===============================
1) Printer needs to have an ethernet printer connection.
2) Printer needs to allow us to install a postscript print driver for the printer.
3) Since this printer uses continuous feed paper and createform has defined page sizes we need to find a way to stop printing when the receipt is done. How do you have a defined page size with a printer using continuous feed paper?
4) Need to be able to connect this printer to our network so that the createform server can connect to this printer via IP address.
5) Printer needs its own power source bar to connect to an outlet. DO NOT intend to connect this POS printer to a PC we are only accessing the printer by IP address.
Would like to hear from anyone that has used any thermal printer with createform with any success.
